How this game works is that we have a map of the world (blank one here: http://i.imgur.com/SIEou.jpg) with certain countries grouped together into unions. Each person playing takes control of one union and gives it a name (e.g. Kimchi Alliance, New Manchurian Liberation Cause, that sort of thing). Your objective is to TAKE OVER THE WORLD by any means possible!

To do things, just post a comment saying what you're trying to do and I'll say what effect it has. Examples would be attack [place], enforce conscription, drill for oil at [place] and export it to [place], research mind control. Non-serious commands are fine too.

If you're playing, post once in this thread to say so so that I know how many unions to set up. You may wish to post with a temporary tripcode for obvious reasons. I'm looking for somewhere between 4 and 8 players, so I might invite some VIPPERs...

I want to take control of Russia.

My first action as its dictator is to rename it to ESPEONLAND.

I guess are you waiting for a roster of players to start carving up the map specifically? At any rate, I'm in and interested in having southern Africa as the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist-Lin Biaoist-Nyererist Popular Liberation Front.

I will be taking the promised land of Peru with the other chosen ones of the Nazca 5000 tribe. We are Aztech robots that were built on the moon and now came to earth to make pretty drawing on the land. My people will now work on the Nazca Lines for the following week and I will yield my turns during this time period.

PS: We also do carpentry; don't be afraid to ask!

Hi I'm Andy, please can I have the British Isles
