Hello! You have become the elected official/dictator/other head of executive branch of a country! You can also select a name, but that isn't as important. However, what country you are currently ruling over is now entirely up to you. Please select a country so we can get started. |

You are Joe, the God-Emperor of Liechtenstein. Congratulations, Joe! You're now ruling Liechtenstein, and while some people are slightly worried that you have declared yourself God-Emperor, you haven't done anything that has made anyone take action against you.  (Please note that if other people want to play as other countries they can just ask. This is kind of multiplayer.) |

I like this premise, but I have a lot of questions as to the theme of it, which would influence which nation to be.
A) Can suggestors suggest for several countries, or should they stick to "their" country?
B) Is this modern times? (the map suggests this, but who knows?)
C) Fantasy? Silly? Serious? Mad Science!? Time travel?
That all said, Shit, Let's be Canada!

Time travel? That all said, Shit, Let's be Canada! A) I guess you can do whatever you'd like. B) It is modern times. C) Probably silly because I couldn't do a serious political game. You can do both mad science and time travel if you have enough of country's associated resource. Every country starts off with 10 tons of their resource. You can make more by making factories  Liechtenstein has 10 tons of Ribel now, allowing for them to do one significant advance in a field of their choice. Canada now has 10 tons of Maple Syrup, allowing for them to do one significant advance in a field of their choice. |

You now have 10 tons of Stamppot, allowing you to make one significant advance in the field of your choice, whether that be time travel, space, timeline-protection devices, or quite literally anything else. |

Begin research on giant transforming/combining robots  At the cost of 10 tons of Stamppot you have developed the Hommel Mk. 1! These things can transform into cars, and can also fuse together into bigger robots if you get two of them together. |

> Put my ribel into building and increasing the efficency of ribel factories. THE RIBEL MUST FLOW.  With the help of your starting Ribel, you have established the GREAT SCHAAN FACTORY. This factory produces Ribel at twice the rate a normal factory does, meaning that it produces 4 tons of Ribel every turn Liechtenstein has 4 tons of Ribel now. Canada now has 10 tons of Maple Syrup, allowing for them to do one significant advance in a field of their choice. The Netherlands do not have any tons of Stamppot, but they can build their first factory without any fee.
 The world map still hasn't changed much. |

Enter Issac: supreme ruler (and only permanent resident) of Antarctica. Unfortunately, Issac, the majority of your territory is contested. We've highlighted the part that wasn't too controversial, Marie Byrd Land. The rest is currently claimed by other countries, although you can try to expand out. You're starting out with 10 tons of fish, with which you can make a significant advance in a field of your choice.
 (Antartica is now separate because it's hard to put territory there based on how distorted it appears on that map projection) |

Canadian Prime Minister Tim sits in his office. The office is muted and pensive, the desk is tasteful Canadian Fir, the carpet is plush, and Tom is deep in thought. Occasionally he nods to himself, thoughtfully hrming to himself in contemplation. An aide shuffles in, places some documents on the desk. "Ten tons of syrup this cycle." The aide informs Tim.
Tim rises from his his chair, smiling. "Good good! We have much work to do! Offer the workers my personal thanks!"
He puts his arm around the aide, accidentally-on-purpose invading his personal space to usher him towards the windows. "Look out there, and see the beauty of the North. Do you see it?"
The aide took in the scene, a twilight view of the austere snowy forest that surrounded the Administrative Building. "Uh, yes, Sir. It's pretty great."
"Our power comes from the North, but lately I've been wondering. . . Could we be *more* Northern?"
"Sir?" The aide, still clutched in that overly friendly shoulder hug that the Prime Minister did from time to time, shuffled unsure of how to respond. Nothing was more North than Canada. That's simply how it was.
Tim gestures out the window, over the starlight alpine landscape, raising his hand above the treeline, towards the dusky sky capped by twinkling stars and flickers of Aurora Borealis. His outstretched hand points towards the handle of the Big Dipper. Polaris capped it, glowing merrily.
"Space! The North Star has been there to guide us for millennia, and only now have we had the sense to follow it! Hear me now! By the end of the decade, Canada will be the world leader in Space! We're going to find SPACE NORTH, and make it our own!"
The aide started to protest, claiming that Canada had no infrastructure for a space program, or how launches were given advantage near the equator, or any number of rational and thought out rebuttals, but the Prime Minister would hear none of it. He had that gleaming in his eyes that told him that he had already planned a speech for the masses. . .
Game --> Let's put 10 tons of Maple Syrup into developing a space launch program! Polar orbits, here we come!
The aide decided to cut his losses. He just wanted to deliver his reports and get back to watching the game at his desk. But as he turned away, Prime Minister Tim interrupted his praise of space long enough to make a last demand of him before he left the room.
"Oh, I also hear that there is a supreme ruler of Antarctica. As a fellow aficionado of cold climates, invite them up here for a Dinner, would you?"
The aide agreed, glad to have a reason to leave the room before Prime Minister Tim's goofy enthusiasm got to him. "Yes sir, right away." He wondered how they even got post to Antarctica. . .
Game --> Invite to Isaac (Supreme Ruler / Antarctica) for meeting of Heads of State.
OOC You beat me to the idea of boosting production and getting the economic edge! So, space here we go!

![]()  With the leading Canadian minds and a wholesome mindset, plus the funding you've put in, you've developed the GRAHAM BELL ROCKET, a new more efficient method of sending things into space for a lot less money than it used to cost. The vast emptiness of space plus an occasional rock or two is at your command. You might be able to find some exotic maple syrup out there, but not in the asteroid belt. The only things in the asteroid belt are literal tons of precious metals and other ores that are much less useful than maple syrup.
You've also sent a formal invitation to Isaac. |

Put a system in place to sell off 1/4 of our ribel production (thus making 3 tons per turn), but start next production cycle so I can hold onto the 4 I have now for my future master plan.

Let's be Russia, that'll be fun. You are now the president of Russia. You have 10 tons of Vodka at your disposal, which you can use to make advances in any fields. If you use 10 tons of Vodka you can make a significant advance in any field. Let's be Ok'lok, king of Easter Island. In a shocking move, Easter Island declares independence to Chile. After you throw out all your Curanto, you gain 10 pounds of Umu. You can use this to make advances in specific fields. If you use 10 tons of it you can make a significant advance in any field. Put a system in place to sell off 1/4 of our ribel production (thus making 3 tons per turn), but start next production cycle so I can hold onto the 4 I have now for my future master plan. You do so. You keep the 4 tons of ribel you've produced so far, and you gain the 3 tons of ribel you've just produced. You also gain 1 Kilomoney, which is primarily used for trading with other countries as other countries cannot use your national resource unless you share a very close culture. I'm gonna build the first of the Netherlands' sure to be many Hutspot factories You open the ROTTERDAM FACILITY, and gain 2 tons of Stamppot.

First, I'm going to need some source of electricity to not freeze
==> Invest 10 tons of fish in solar power
Second, I absolutely want to improve relations with my cold weather brethren
==> Accept invite from Tim, Prime Minister of Canada
Third, I need a way to pass my spare time, and factories are for chumps
==> Spend any free time catching more fish manually

You accept the invitation, and when you both head together you can negotiate/talk or whatever you both were planning. As you start fishing, several Penguins who have started worshipping you also follow suit, and via a large percent of the animals fishing you've gained 2 tons of fish. I shall instate myself as the God-Emperor of Finland! You are now God-Emperor of Finland! You now have 10 tons of Lihapullat which you can use at your disposal. If you use all 10, you can make a significant advance in any field. You'll have to create factories to make more (your first one is free).
The world hasn't changed much, but several larger countries like the United States and Great Britain are starting to get worried at so many countries spontaneously declaring themselves to have absolute rulers, and at least two of them having "God-Emperors".  |

Ey, what is this? God Emperor this, God Emperor that, is all so confusing!
Invest all 10 tons of vodka into improving vodka quality! What use is distilling more if vodka can be substituted with acid?
