The world is falling apart. It has been for a while. Now, you have been put in place of a lesser power. You now have the opportunity to make conquest upon the world, be it by war, deceit, economy, or blind faith. Go forth, and conquest.
Players will select one of the lesser powers of the world, two of which will be off-limits, "bosses", for lack of a better word. Players will send, every 24-hours, a PM detailing what their nation will do; This can be anything from looking for oil, increasing arms production, to banning alcohol and changing the national anthem. The moves will be posted as well as their results on the nation and world, unless, in the strict strict sense, they are private. News will also be posted regularly.
