Alright, Niklas is playing as China, Frozen In Ice is first reserve. Leeksoup is currently second, but if he doesn't confirm before I start the game, Stuck In Pi gets second.
Now I'll run off and sort out the special abilities before y'all slaughter me.

Sorry if this is in the rules, I might have missed it. How many units/turn does it take to capture a region? In Dip2 I think it was 2 infantry or a tank and it took 2 turns, I dont know, I just sent everything I had at it when I wanted some more land - and thats what led to my eventual crushing by Niklas so it would be helpful, thanks.

The number you are looking for is three...

Alright. Map has been updated for the very last time. As I write this, PMs are being sent, and we're ready to start. As soon as I send all the PMs, I'll write the first update.
And yes, it takes a strength factor of three (three infantry, one tank, three paras) to capture a neutral territory. It takes a single turn, unless you're capturing from an opponent, in which case it turns neutral after the first turn, and is yours the second.

Spoiler Map :
All stats and such on the first page, it's time to get started!
I highly suggest and support Diplomacy in this thread, it makes it easier to keep track of.
Diplomacy phase ending Sunday, 12-30-07 at 7:00 GMT-8, at which point I'll post telling everybody to send in orders.
From El Presidente
To the respected leaders of Quebec and Chile:
In all of our new found world power status I believe that the three American powers should in an effort to keep the peace and to set an example to the world try to attempt to work together. My advisers would like a alliance but I don't think anyone is ready to trust each other but I believe we should at least coordinate expansion in order to prevent any debate over land. Please respond back with your response. I thank you for your time.

Sure.
I get Union, Midwest, and Florida. I also lay down claims to all of former Canada and Alaska, so if anyone plans on taking them, don't, eh?

PROCLAMATION!!!11one
The President of South Africa awoke, as if from a slumber. He had quietly run most of his years in office without incident. Now, though, the times were changing. He threw the newspaper down on his mahogany desk where it landed with a less than satisfactorily whap and grinned. His pearly white teeth glistened in the bright fluorescent light.
"I have an idea," he said, grinning. "Get me some parchment!"
"What if you make a mistake, Mr. President?"
"Good point, my dear secretary. In that case, get me a computer!"
"It's on your desk."
"Oh," he said, without batting an eyelash, and furiously typed.
To: Mali
From: South Africa
I have prepared a treaty of sorts. As fellow African people, we should stick together in these coming turbulent times. Let the world know that Africans take care of Africans.
Now, if you would care to sign this, we can happily be on our way to greatness in the future together.

The camera pans across a luxurious and lush landscape. The ocean can be seen in the distance when coming atop a hill the camera heads towards a magnificent white marble palace. Entering by a French window, we find ourselves staring at the impressive desk of the Malinese leader.
On his desk a sleek black computer is beeping 'you have received mail'.
Grabbing the rodent, the DERL of Mali stares at the screen for a few seconds...
"So, it is starting..."
Before hitting the send button, he makes sure to add a few lines.
Dear president,
We, the Diplomatically Elected Ruler for Life Izipo of Mali, welcome such friendly acts with joy. Let us state that the only true goal of Mali is the colonization of other planets. To do so, we will use our financial genius to our advantage. If you're ever in need of Gold, please do not hesitate to ask about our competitive rates of interest.
On a side note, we hope you will understand that the territories bordering Mali (namely Congo, CAR and Chad) are of utmost strategic importance to us.
Hoping we will reach a peaceful agreement;
Yours truly,
DERL Izipo.
