With the beginning of a new year and something of a growing sense of international optimism, the World Market announces a new goal. “We are pleased to see that there is now some sense of global community reforming, but we feel it is important to accelerate this. As such, the existing regionalism must end. The methods to accomplish this will be left in regional hands, but be assured that if you do not take this task on yourselves, we can and will impose this objective. While we understand that in many cases this could increase regional tensions, the ends do justify the means! Be advised that as of one year from today, if you have not begun steps to align with your neighbors, we will begin making those decisions on your behalf and backing them militarily.”

It is uncertain whether this pronouncement had the intended effect… Over the next few months some regions began working together with neighbors and organized peaceful reunification votes. Yet other regions began to further isolate themselves and begin military buildups. It became apparent to many that no matter how benign the objective, it could not be achieved without great cost. What would happen next, was anyone’s guess.

Do you have the strength, cunning, and common sense to ensure that your Region will have a major role in crafting the “New World Order”? Or will you be one of the first casualties in an unforgiving struggle to become the Supreme Ruler???
