The premises of this game are simple.

The players play as decision-makers in countries. You define your goals yourself. You have a specific number of actions you could do, domestic and international.

They write their actions in private messages which they send to the Game Master (me, if not anyone else is feeling called). The gamemaster is determining the outcome of their actions through a random number generator. Turns are every week.

France: (2)
Russia: (1)
Austria: (2)
Prussia: (2)
China: (1)
USA: (1)
The Ottoman Empire: (2)
