C) Secretary of State: S/he is responsible for internal issues and submitting military sales as well as payment into health and food.

During Rounds A) Must allocate money for health and food. This is mandatory for every group. The Secretary of the State is responsible for this task. Such funds must be turned in to the accountants. Failure to do so will result in internal revolution and the sitting out of a round. B) How do groups make money? Signing treaties with other groups provides income. This is the job of the diplomat. S/he will negotiate with groups and turn in such documents to the secretary of state. Money will be paid when the next round begins. The president stays behind to negotiate with other groups.

The following two nations __________________ and _______________ agree to establish and maintain a _______________ treaty for one round. This treaty must be renewed after this round. Both nations need to submit a treaty. Round _________ X _______________ X_______________

Treaties and Money Each group needs to sign treaties in order to buy health, food and/or military weapons. Health and food must be purchased every round for 1.00 each. Your group must secure a health and food card every round. Oil: Oil must be purchased from Bravo for However, oil can be traded in for 3.00.

Health Military and Food Cards Military cards are distributed to groups paying 5.00/card. Oil must also be used every round by the attacking nation. Once a group obtains three cards a military can be used on any nation. Defeating a nation requires three military cards above the group being attacked. For example, pretend Group B attacks Group C. Both groups display their military cards. The attacking group must have three or more military cards to win. Once a nation is defeated, the victorious power can

Attacking If the nation your group is attacking has less cards than your group then the invasion is a success. At this point, your group will be faced with occupying the new state (cost involved), allow independence (what is the point of the invasion?) or commit genocide. Pick wisely as the UN is always watching. 5 oil cards are needed per attack. Options After Attack *Install a fake government (all resources go to winning state but each round requires one military card for occupation of a defeated state) *Allow the defeated nation to remain in power (winning state gains nothing) *Commit genocide (obtains all resources cost nothing)

Addendum 8. Additional A) Nukes can be purchased after two nations have been attacked. Nukes will cost for 10. The use of 3 nukes by any nation or combination of nations during any portion of the game will result in a class failure. 20 military cards can be traded in for ten nukes. B) Terrorism: Angry players can resort to terrorism. The first player to resort to terrorism will qualify for one assassination card every two rounds. The card can be used to assassinate the president of any nation. Once terrorism is declared, the UN must define terrorism by committee.

Assassination and Hostage Rule Assassination requires card at a cost of 9.00 and requires two oil cards and two military cards. See Mr. Q Hostage requires a cost of 10.00, three military per round hostage is kept and two oil cards. See Mr. Q Natural Disaster-Any nation could experience a natural disaster of some kind.
