I'm semi-retiring from mapmaking because it's hard to keep up with turns and I'm not as interested in the game as before. However, I will update the map again if someone sends me a list of territorial changes (i.e., I am available, you just have to remind me).

I think you missed both the name and premise of the game lol. The game starts off with UAR leaps and bounds ahead of OTL long before the game begins. Also, "the arabs have no factories, infra, or scientists"? That sounds like borderline racism. I dont want to start an argument of course, especially as i see some parts of the game as implausible as well, so Ill just let Person adrress it.

Dev the UAR is a union of countries with some considerable econmic power. Saudi Arabia has a lot of oil money. You can to some degree buy scientists and infrastructure. Saudi Arabia cannot wipe other nations off the face of the earth nor does it have massive thermonuclear weapons but it has nukes because it spent 10 years developing them. India took longer because of how much it spent. Saudi Arabia is obviously limited by it's uranium supply but in general there is nothing stopping it from spending money on a nuclear program. The US haven't chosen to stop Saudi Arabia. The UAR also has a lot of oil and the like and is again also capable of developing nukes. You cannot expect countries just to go as otl in terms of economy. [[User:Person67|Person67]] ([[User talk:Person67|talk]]) 17:55, February 2, 2017 (UTC)

The map

I think a new (perhaps larger) map should be found for this game. The current one has those weird lines connecting countries to islands, which isn't very useful for a map game. Smaller islands are also scaled up so they can be visible. General534 (talk) 00:33, December 23, 2016 (UTC)

Yeah if you need a map with actual geogrpahy go to google maps. This is about borders and yes it has wierd lines but it makes my life easier. Yeah the size, there is not much I can do. I am limited in what resources are online for me. Person67 (talk) 00:35, December 23, 2016 (UTC)

United Arab Republic

Hello,

If you are ever in reconsideration of who to play the UAR, I'd be willing to keep a plausible Middle East Oh, I didn't mean to push that button!Oh, well leave a message I guess 15:00, December 23, 2016 (UTC)

Yes, ok. You may play as the UAR Person67 (talk) 15:24, December 23, 2016 (UTC)

Hi! Can I join?

I would like to join as Indonesia. I have a question before I play this game, is there still Indonesian coup d'etat 1965 by the Communist Party. Thank you. Regards --Hexarafi

Mapmaking (General)

I'm semi-retiring from mapmaking because it's hard to keep up with turns and I'm not as interested in the game as before. However, I will update the map again if someone sends me a list of territorial changes (i.e., I am available, you just have to remind me). General534 (talk) 20:10, January 11, 2017 (UTC)
