One suggestion. (This would probably deserve a separate thread, but when there is only one gaming world thread yet....)
Why start this game in 2008? If this will last half a year we will end in year 2014. But i have a bad feeling that the world would look alamost same as in year 2008. I hope that i won't offer our mods when i say that they wouldn't have the courage to change the world enough to make it feel like a future?
Why we doesn't start our state in past (after WW II, of course)? The historical events can provide enough issues to keep the parliament busy, and the ministry of exterior would have same power.
just my
