Rules

 * 1) mods are gods in there respective category's, and demigods in other category's
 * 2) The golden rule: treat others as you wish to be treated. Well, not really, but I don't want anyone bitching and moaning when they lose a war
 * 3) players can be kicked out be kicked out by either the creator or the secondary mod, but the algo mod and the Map maker can assign bans of up to 3 days
 * 4) this map game does take place in the future, but keep tech plausable, example: KEM misslie are okay, clones are not
 * 5) each turn must be reread for grammar at least once. sections the mods can't understand will be crossed out
 * 6) Nukes and other WMDS are allowed, but keep in mind most would have already be used, so you will generally have to make your own
 * 7) in the first map, there will be unclaimed areas outside of the nations. This land can not be claimed until 20 turns into the game, as it is nearly uninhabitable at this point. However, for the sake of simplicity, troops can be transported through this zone with no negative effects.
 * 8) plausibility is essential
 * 9) a vote will be taken during the first turn as to whether we will go by half years or full years each turn
 * 10) speaking of turns, one per day, they will usually start at 2:30 central time(that's when I get home from school)
 * 11) don't do drugs while online

nations
sign up is going to go different than most map games. Because I really don't want to list 200 or so nations, simply pick a nation, and add it to the list with your name/sig next to it. I'll start:

If choosing a very small country, give a name and either where exactly it is, or what color it is. Thanks! 14:23, March 27, 2015 (UTC)
