This world manifested in barely more than the blink of an eye, and yet its people have history. And a future, too. But be you player or watcher, be wary. Fate only comes out after the truth is known. As this is written, the puniest urchin on our constructed earth may yet make kings and communards bow.

Born Yesterday Ruleset
This is NES, which means you play a country’s government (unless you have an idea for a corporation, terrorist group, or something like that). The first, and most important rule, of course, is to have fun, and new players are always welcome. But this is what normal stats look like:
Sampleland/Imago (Creative, Industrious)
Government: Small Republic (55%)
ASP: 3
GenTech: G0.N0.A0.B0.E0
SpecTech: None
Army: 10 divisions
Navy: 10 squadrons
Air Force: 10 groups
Background: The people of Sampleland are happy to live in the ruleset. Much less chance of nuclear armageddon in here.
Let's go through this line by line-
Sampleland/Imago (Creative, Industrious)
Here we have the name of the country, followed by its player status, followed by its two traits. Every country gets two traits out of seven choices:
Aero
Countries with this trait purchase 7 air force groups per ASP as opposed to 5.
Creative
Countries with this trait can have up to 6 types of unique units as opposed to 1.
Diplomatic
Countries with this trait have a sizable boost in their relations with NPCs.
Grounder
Countries with this trait purchase 7 army divisions per ASP as opposed to 5.
Industrious
Countries with this trait have a growth bonus. At level 0 in the Economy tech, +1 ASP costs 2 spending points for odd-numbered years and 3 spending points for even-numbered years, as opposed to 3 spending points in all years. Thusly, Industrious countries advance along the Economy tech track faster.
Patriotic
Countries with this trait need barely fear domestic insurrection from assimilated populations, even in the face of extreme governments and policies. New Patriotic nations will start with bonus approval, and their approval rating hits will not be as hard. Also, Patriotic countries can raise 10 extra irregular divisions per turn.
Naval
Countries with this trait purchase 8 navy squadrons per ASP as opposed to 5.
Government: Small Republic (55%)
The first thing we have here is the government of the country, which includes a size modifier. Countries can be small, medium, or large, which will roughly correspond to eight digits, nine digits, and ten digits of population. Before any bonuses or the effects of the Patriotic trait, small countries can raise 10 irregular divisions per turn, medium countries can raise 20 irregular divisions per turn, and large countries can raise 40 irregular divisions per turn.
In parenthesis, we have government approval rating. Under 50%, and every turn without significant unrest is a blessing. Under 30%, and every turn without civil war is a blessing. Over 80%, and government is probably totalitarian. Approval rating cannot be effected directly through spending.
ASP: 3
Here we have Annual Spending Points. Sampleland can spend 3 points per turn. Other sections of the rules provide a whole host of suggestions for what points can used for, but they can also be banked, if you so prefer. In most cases, it will take 1, 2, or 3 reinvested points to fuel ASP growth. See the GenTech section for more information.
The most important hidden use for spending points is on a spy agency. Points can be spent on the agency in general (maximum 20), or on specific ops, to increase their chances of success.
GenTech: G0.N0.A0.B0.E0
Here we have the primary techs. G stands for Ground Army, N stands for Navy, A stands for Air Force, B stands for Bomb, and E stands for Economy. Each spending point invested in a specific military branch tech will increase that branch’s effectiveness by 5%. Each branch tech can have a maximum of 20 points investment—no part of the military can fight at more than double strength. Further, military branch techs cannot be directly traded.
Bomb tech is towards nuclear or similar weapons. You control the specifics of your own program. For game purposes, bomb tech can be traded, but bomb tech has absolutely no effect until more than 40 points are invested. Every point over forty gives you the option of setting off one nuclear (or equivalent) blast per turn. Thusly, if Sampleland reached 45 invested points in bomb tech, Sampleland could set off five blasts each turn. Every turn Sampleland decides to hold back results in ‘wasted’ usages.
Economy tech is towards more efficient economic growth. Economy tech can be traded, but it has different effects for Industrious and non-Industrious nations. I now present charts for how Economy tech relates to growth cost.
Industrious
Levels 0 to 9 Economy tech: 2 points = +1 ASP for odd years, 3 points = +1 ASP for even years
Levels 10 to 19: 2 points = +1 ASP for all years
Level 20 to 29: 1 points = +1 ASP for odd years, 2 points = +1 ASP for even years
Levels 30 and up: 1 point = +1 ASP for all years
Non-Industrious
Levels 0 to 9 Economy tech: 3 points = +1 ASP for all years
Levels 10 to 19: 2 points = +1 ASP for odd years, 3 points = +1 ASP for even years
Levels 20 to 29: 2 points = +1 ASP for all years
Level 30 to 39: 1 points = +1 ASP for odd years, 2 points = +1 ASP for even years
Levels 40 and up: 1 point = +1 ASP for all years
Because there is a track to increase growth efficiency, trying to cut spending corners and hope for growth is not recommended except in cases of territorial assimilation and economic recovery.
SpecTech: None
This is the slot for all your crazy ideas, like gigantic robots and longevity programs. Techs here are intended to provide circumstantial bonuses, not directly affect military quality.
Army: 10 divisions
1 spending point gives 5 divisions to non-Grounder countries or 7 divisions to Grounder countries. Non-Creative countries can have 1 unique unit, which costs 1 spending point to design, will have a unit cost of your choice (but cheaper equals weaker) and can fall in the army category. Creative countries can make up to 6 unique units spread in any number of ways among military branches.
Navy: 10 squadrons
1 spending point gives 5 squadrons to non-Naval countries or 8 squadrons to Naval countries. Non-Creative countries can have 1 unique unit, which costs 1 spending point to design, will have a unit cost of your choice (but cheaper equals weaker) and can fall in the army category. Creative countries can make up to 6 unique units spread in any number of ways among military branches.
Air Force: 10 groups
1 spending point gives 5 groups to non-Aero countries or 7 groups to Aero countries. Non-Creative countries can have 1 unique unit, which costs 1 spending point to design, will have a unit cost of your choice (but cheaper equals weaker) and can fall in the army category. Creative countries can make up to 6 unique units spread in any number of ways among military branches.
Background: The people of Sampleland are happy to live in the ruleset. Much less chance of nuclear armageddon in here.
Self-explanatory. Hopefully.
The game will consist of a series of updates, each of which covers one game year, or turn. The first turn is 1901. In each inter-turn, you may engage in diplomacy, write stories to get yourself a small game bonus, and/or PM me questions about the game world. PMed orders are due before each update, and should cover your country’s yearly strategy and spending.

Navy: 10 squadrons
Air Force: 20 groups
Background: The expansive efforts of Mormon missionaries resulted in thousands upon thousands of converts from all nations & all walks of life; given that the official church policy at the time was that converts were expected to immigrate to the Mormon heartland, this resulted in the population of Deseret exploding. The deserts & mountains that made up much of the country were poorly suited to any kind of habitation; with the flood of converts pouring into them, they were soon packed in unnaturally tight, with ethnic & economic tensions constantly threatening to plunge the overpopulated nation into Civil War. In 1867, seeking to alleviate these tensions, Aaron Naegle, a wealthy European immigrant, funded an expedition into one of the last unclaimed parts of the Americas- the dark heart of the Amazon Rainforest.

A land of vast, undeveloped frontiers and flourishing coastal cities, Tilabaiinke has grown to be an innovative industrial power since attaining independence in 1744.

GenTech: G0.N0.A0.B0.E0
SpecTech: None
Army: 45 divisions
Navy: 20 squadrons
Air Force: 17 groups
Background: The union of Marc Antony and Cleopatra VII proved too great for the forces of Octavius and Rome. Victorious, they established a thriving Greco-Egyptian Kingdom ruled by a powerful Pharaoh. Though other states have fallen to extremism and nationalism, mighty Egypt has weathered all storms and has stood the test of time.

Background: The Hapsburgs managed to maintain control of Portugal after the Iberian Union and then solidified their hold by the Declaration of Union of 1680, merging Portugal and the Spanish crowns into the United Kingdom of Iberia and Naples. Also, through genetic luck and a gradual end to their practice of inbreeding, the Hapsburgs managed to survive. Now, with its great navy, the United Kingdom holds sway in the Western Mediterranean and maintains a colonial empire.

Government: Small Authoritarian Socialist State (51%)
ASP: 0
GenTech: G0.N0.A0.B0.E1

GenTech: G1.N0.A0.B0.E0
SpecTech: None
Army: 42 divisions
Navy: 10 squadrons
Air Force: 5 groups
Background: The Angevin Empire held its traces to the legacy of the Norman Conquest and the campaigns of Henry II. Ever since, parts of traditional France have been connected with England as one nation. However, while the dominating English side is very patriotic about this union, the nationalism brought on by the 19th century has led to the idea of Normandy and Aquitaine being part of a French nation state.

ASP: 5
GenTech: G0.N0.A0.B0.E0
SpecTech: None
Army: 44 divisions
Navy: 15 squadrons
Air Force: 9 groups
Background: After Napoleon’s victories in the Napoleonic Wars, his empire survived far into the 19th century. Yet, his early death, and the ensuing 'decade of revolutions' in the German states, Britain and French territories allowed for his successors to craft the previously Imperialistic France, into a Marxist Empire. Marxism itself (if it could actually be called that) is more of an idea taken by the French government to rule and oppress the citizenry is the rather large French Empire.

ASP: 7
GenTech: G0.N0.A0.B0.E0

GenTech: G1.N0.A2.B0.E4
SpecTech: None
Army: 6 divisions, 9 irregular divisions
Navy: 13 squadrons
Air Force: 23 groups
Background: Following the military defeat to the forces of Sweden in the Great Northern War, Russia has reemerged as a democratic state - an example of representative democracy, and a foil to the Combined Syndicalists of America and their such ilk. Led by a President and a senate of elected Representatives and Senators, the US seeks to spread democracy and protect the sovereign rights of its many states. They do not hate the Swedes and their new Baltic Council, but still press for the return of Finland, the Baltic States, and other traditionally Russian-sphere lands into the US.

GenTech: G1.N0.A0.B0.E0
SpecTech: None
Army: 10 divisions

The deserts & mountains that made up much of the country were poorly suited to any kind of habitation; with the flood of converts pouring into them, they were soon packed in unnaturally tight, with ethnic & economic tensions constantly threatening to plunge the overpopulated nation into Civil War.

Led by a President and a senate of elected Representatives and Senators, the US seeks to spread democracy and protect the sovereign rights of its many states.

*Think of the black islands as imperfections from a c.1900 printer. For practical use, consider each tiny black area directly adjacent to a color to be that color. Only large, evidently intentional, or distant black areas are unorganized/anarchy. The band of islands close to Antarctica, for instance, are distant from any obvious color patch, so they are unorganized, but various tiny islands in northern Vinland are directly adjacent to its green and thus are privy (at least nominally) to its administration.
