General Rules

 * 1) On nation per user.
 * 2) Expansion in extreme climates like Greenland, Niger, Nepal and Amazonia will be very slow due to logistic and climate problems for any wood-be invader. Hyper-expansion is not fare.
 * 3) Technical and scientific development is at normal rate and with out premature and/or 'hyper-development' of technology. The Modle-N Ford car was invented in 1906 and British Commit Tank was invented in 1943. A few years early OK, but decades out is daft/ASB.
 * 4) It take 1 year for a super power (USA, USSR and China) to build 100 nukes, 2 years for other nuke using industrialised nations (France, UK, India, S. Africa and Israle)  to build them, but if your nation is industrialised and dose not have any nukes (Germany, Canada, Australia, Poland, ect,) then it will take 5 years to invent them. Any one can buy nikes of those who are willing to sell them.
 * 5) Wars will use a War Algorithm . The result is placed here War Algorithm result page for record.
 * 6) You must be plausible and sound believable.
 * 7) Each nation fall in to a power category, +1 for each category. If your a failed state 0. If you're a super power +5.
 * 8) We will have resolutions at the U.N. security council. Also see- International Court of Justice (ICJ), World Health Organisation (WHO), United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). and Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NNPT).
 * 9) Edit the game in Source Mode. Editing in Visual Mode and creating code problems may result in your edits being undone or full of garbled data.
 * 10) Research your nation on sites like- Wikipedia, the BBC, CNN, ITN, Encyclopedia Britannica, and so on. You could fined handy stuff like this Lithuanian Navy and resources: It did have a navy in 1933!.
 * 11) 1/2 a game year per real day.
 * 12) If new turn is not started by mod, player can still post player events, but before post he must write year. For example year 1947 ended and mod did not started next turn. Then player writes: *1987.5* Countryname: Country improves economy and blah blah blah.
 * 13) Game is archived every 10 years/20 turns.
 * 14) A new image file is created for every new map, which is created every two years.
 * 15) After a nation has been inactive for 5 years (10 turns), the user will be removed from the game.
 * 16) You may create proxy nations and use them in turns.
 * 17) Limited O.T.L. desasters, such as earthquakes and tropical storms will occur. Mod event's that are real life events, not daft or bias.
 * 18) No aggressiveness directed toward other players or off-topic feuds.
 * 19) There will be 3 mods.
 * 20) There will be map-maker and a map-maker deputy to take over if the mapmaker is away or ill.
 * 21) Hyper-development, wizards, E.T.s, fantasy and/or sci-fi are not to be used.
 * 22) 1 turn per OTL day. 1 turn = 6 months ATL game time.

Technical dat​a

 * See the- Technical timelines page.

Mod Rules

 * 1) Mods must be plausible and must not target any particular nation.
 * 2) Carving large empires is NOT a cause for mod targeting, unless the empire is silly or unfairly won.

Vassal Rules

 * 1) Unless the vassal can provide real military aid to a country, it cannot be used in an algorithm. For example, Poland and Mongolia can provide military assistance to the USSR, but Tannu Tuva and Danzig are vertulay useless, so use you common sense!
 * 2) Vassals may declare war instead of the actual suzerain nation.
 * 3) Some rebel armys and terrorists are in legue with nation states (exsamples- the Contras worked for the U.S.A., F.A.R.C. worked for the U.S.S.R. and the P.L.O. was a Libyan terrorist proxy.), these also count as vassals but use difernt rules which are listed in a lower section.

Terrorist and rebel groupings rules
Terrorists can do things like the and , so +1 to the nation your helping and -1 to the victim nation. Special forces and home land security forces can be used to defeat them as in and.

The mods will aso help or hinder terrorists with the use of 'public opinion' and wartime morale. Eventually most nations, save for a few like Israle and Russia, will get fed up in time and want peace.

Rebel groops like UNITA, the Contras, Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, FARC and the PLO do controle some land and so count as a (illigal) city state in places like  and. They count as Vassel states, but can also commit acts of terrorism.

 * Somalia-

1981.0
. IRa Training and propaganda continue.
 * Egypt: Reassures it's fellow Arabs that it does not intend to harm them if not provoked. Egypt criticized Soviet foreign policy in Europe and the Horn of Africa for makeing some of the global troubles. A giant sand berm-wall is dug along the Egypt-Libya border. The water supply in Cairo and Alexandria is improved. 10,000 are enlisted into the army raising it to 235,000. The navy guards Port Sai'id and Alexandria. The air force puts up a few patrols over Cairo, Aswan and Alexandria. Securty is upped on the Aswan Dam. The president reassures his people in a radio message.
 * Libyan D: We propose a non-aggression pact.
 * China: We continue to supply Pro-Chinese guerillas and support Socialist/Communist politicians in all nations in which we influence. We continue to keep good relations with NATO to show we do not support the USSR, we continue to maintain our large armies.
 * USA:We continue to provide support for the Mujahadeen and other anti-communist guerillas such as the Contras and we begin to consider direct intervention in Afganistan and in Central America as well as Angola. We strongly condemn the USSR for the crackdowns in East Germany and Poland. We begin to use US Green Berets to locate and destroy any pro-communist gangs in the US, including the WUO, BLA, M19CO, UFF. The US prepares a massive military buildup in West Germany in preparation for a potential invasion of the country by the Warsaw Pact and begin conducting wargames to simulate this and prepare ourselves for such an attack. We consider attempting to invade Cuba should they refuse to stop supporting communist gangs in the US. We also decide to focus more on research on alternative fuels. We consider tightening our sanctions against South Africa should the apertheid situation not end. We begin a little series of economic reforms called Reaganomics to reduce inflation and fix the US economy. We begin research in secrecy on the SDI, also known as the "Star Wars Project" . We continue to send support and advisors to anti-communist nations worldwide against communist guerillas/gangs. We send troops to Lybia to fight off the PLO and stop them from attacking the Israelis.
 * Afgan Mujahadeen:We continue to wage a guerilla war and hold on to the offensives of the USSR. We also continue to grow in numbers and decide to launch raids on military positions on USSR and local government bases. We hope these raids will cause as much damage to the USSR's war effort in Afganistan.
 * Nicaraguan Contras:We continue to wage guerilla war on the government. We begin to launch attacks on several cities across Nicaragua and commence the recruitment of thousands of people. We try to reduce our human rights abuses so we can gain more support amongst the people of Nicaragua.
 * UNITA:We continue to wage guerilla war on the government as we gain more support amongst the people. Savimbi personally leads an offensive deep into enemy territory to defeat government forces.
 * A leading Ohio electronics scientist tells the US Senate that Project Excalibur would be very expensive and technology would need to be developed over years. He states that truck mounted battlefield directed energy weapons may be possible in about 2000, but a lot of research and testing is needed. He said that anti-sat missiles like the USA-193 could be the answer, but they will only be possible by about 1995 and a lot of research and testing is needed. He also indicates that Tasers are possible, but Electrolasers are 45 years in to the future. Whipsnade (talk) 14:41, October 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * Ronald Reagan states that he will take chances to make sure such technology is achieved.Ratc3333 Here, Prepare for Combat (talk) 15:40, October 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * A leading MIT scientist dismisses this out of hand, and states that without major economic changes, these technologies are beyond America's reach. 
 * Ronald Reagan asks what suggestions the MIT scientist makes to make major economic changes.
 * The MIT scientist shrugs and says 'I'm a Scientist, not an economist'
 * Ronald Reagan asks for Congress' suggestions on major economic reforms in an attempt to make the Star Wars Project possible.
 * Iran: We continue to support the PLO in Lebanon. We declare neutreality in afghanistan as we are not friendly with the americans but communist influence is also in bad taste of the government, but are weary of Iraq.
 * Hezbollah: We begin to spread our influence through iran, and iraq. Iraq, a majority Shia nation, is ruled by a Sunni leader. More people join our league. In Iraq, we tryu to appeal to the peasants, the hardcore shias, and the Kurds, a hated ethnic group by the SUNNI sadaam hussein. We also begin to support the Mujahdeen in Afghanistan. We support the PLO and the LNF in the Lebanese Civil War, whos country we begin to influence ourselves.
 * American Diplomacy:We thank you for the assistance of the Hezbollah to the Mujahadeen. In exchange we shall send supplies to aid in your mission against Hussein's regime and against the influence of the USSR and China.
 * Brazil: We continue to move towards an entirely anti-communist society, and as leader of the group, helping the other members of A.A.C.I.I.A.L to remove any particularly mindful journalists with intent to eliminate any communist ideals on the continent. Although we do not pledge entire support for the US, we begin to build a series of resolutions that, we hope, will eventually allow us to form a firmer alliance, in return for added security against potential communist difficulties. Also, there is some appeal from politicians to 'please shorten the block acronym' after many formerly influential politicians lose popularity after forgetting the second 'I'. This is not seen as a priority. Also, the government moves towards establishing an entirely right-wing society in an effort to eliminate any possibility of an infiltration of policy by communist ideals. (P.S - please put us on the map?)
 * A Paraguay senator says the A.A.C.I.I.A.L. could be called the "Asunción Treaty Organization" after the place where the treaty was signed.Whipsnade (talk) 13:46, October 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, Brazil is now on the map.Whipsnade (talk) 13:46, October 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * India: We begin cracking down on the Rebels, and effectively wipe them out. We offer an alliance to all other Hindu States. We demand China ceases aid towards the rebels. We begin to manufacture another 100 nuclear missiles.
 * North Korea:Begins to supply the PLO with arms and advisors secretly.
 * KUF:Training starts. Secretly prepares for an attack on the White House steals an american AC-130 support plane.
 * A leading N. Korean General states that the real enemies are the American ‘colonial’ forces in the region, S. Korea and Japan. Destroying the White House is both risky and might be the sort of thing that would unite most nations against them in revenge and anger. He urges destroying a major S. Korean dockyard instead. He comments that Pusan’s Jagalchi Fish Market and Hanjin Heavy Industries facilities would be “better off blown up”. Whipsnade (talk) 15:15, October 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * Ierland we ask for a alliance with the USSR. and we creat the PRA, Pictain Revolutioniry army, the IRA for Scotland.
 * ​USSR (mod): We accept.
 * France: With the heightened tensions on the continent, France begins to revitalize and expand the Maginot Line. The French Navy is put on high alert and all nuclear assets are mobilized as a deterrent. France admonishes the USSR over its crackdowns and supports the U.S.A. Contruction of 100 Nuclear missiles is begune to add to the current stockpile of 598 and plans for another nuclear reactor are put into motion. A small draft is instituted to add another 25.000 men to the French Army. France sends elements of the French Foreign Legion to assist the The Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda. Plans are made for the construction of a nuclear powered aircraft carrier
 * The Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda: We thank France for the assistance of the French Foreign Legion and continue to wage guerilla actions against communist forces
 * Libya: Continues development and industrialization. Canals begin to be built inland from the Meditteranean in attempts to not only improve the infastructure but to benefit the local ecology, though it is believed it will take nearly a decade to build all the wanted canals. Oil drilling is increased in efforts to stimulate the economy further. The military continues to be improved with heavy emphasis on the navy. We begin a secret nuclear program.
 * P.L.O.: Continues terroist attacks across Israel, but begins to focus more on securing and defending the lands currently not held by Israel. We begin raids into Israeli armories in attempts to improve our armaments, and this had been mildly succesful.
 * American Diplomacy:We request that you stop your terror attacks on Israel or else face certain defeat by American forces.
 * P.LO.: COME AT ME, BRUH. ALLAHU AKBAR!
