Alternative History
  1. I've decided to create a new map game, and try to make it more interesting.
  2. There are no complete rules, but everything must be realistic.
  3. The starting year is 1939.
  4. You can create a new nation, and it will have either all modern technologies, or it can be third-world nation, if you choose so.
  5. The map is one big island with three small islands.
  6. Only I shall declare the next turn.
  7. You don't need to sign up, but if you do something unrealistic, you will face consequences of not following the rules of the game.
  8. If you want to add a plan of your city, with streets, etc., add it near your turn's summary.
  9. If you have a question, post it on the talk page.
  10. You shall use algorithm from Principia Moderni for now, or just use common sense until we make our own algorithm.

Notes for newcomers[]

  • These islands are located not far from the Japan and Guam.
