User:77topaz/Things Can Only Get Worse (Map Game)

Backup for Things Can Only Get Worse (Map Game).

In this map game, the recession struck considerably more badly than in OTL, causing several wars. But here it's 1940, the recession has struck most countries in Europe hard, Hitler and Mussolini are rising in power in their respective nations, and things can only get worse...

The playable nations are the same as those that exist now in OTL in Europe, though some of the borders are different (i.e. Soviet Union and Yugoslavia etc. split). It's 1940 and there has just been a bad recession.

If this takes off, I will probably add other continents: Due to/during the recession, many nations were unable to provide/control their colonies, and as a result, many declared independence, and their controllers were unable to reclaim the colonies properly due to their armies deserting or being involved in European wars. Anyway, all the OTL sovereign states will be playable for all continents, plus some colonies, but non-independent nations may have to answer to their empires in wars, or face war themselves.

Rules/notes
Turns will go in half years. Play will probably commence after there are 15 nations worldwide (or ten in Europe), though this is subject to change.

For now, I'll put all continents on this page, though the focus is on Europe. Players can have one nation per continent (and no more than three in total), and a nation that has colonies can in emergency situations seize control of them.
