The Cold War (Map Game)

The year is 1947 and the Cold War has started.

Rule(s)

Just read the Map Game Handbook.

Say "I Like Tacos" within your comment. Until 6 people (3 on each side) have joined, the game will not start. When there are 6 people, I will randomize the extra's moves. People can still join after it has started. Don't complain if your country has collapsed or shrunk before you came.

If you renamed yourself, (Example Country: Vietnam) then please put your name as follows:

Socialist Republic of Dai-Viet (Vietnam)

If you changed your government, do this for 1 turn:

New: Republic of Vietnam/Former: Socialist Republic of Vietnam

After that 1 turn, you can get rid of the "Former: Socialist Republic of Vietnam" part.

If you're name is crossed out like this;

Example (Inactive)

You removed from your role for being inactive for 6 days (the limit). If you return, you can continue. However, if someone has taken your nation before you return, that nation is now rightfully theirs.
