I'm in a NES at the moment and find that my RL schedule only allows me one game at a time with my moderator duties. I would like to try one sometime though.

Ailed. You have portmanteau-ised Tani's Sons of Mars and my Spirit of Man.
The game is called Spirit of Man, like the song in the musical its based on.

All spending processed. Now it is but a matter of all that juicy post-lock stuff.
Europe and Asia in particular look interesting.
In the meantime, here's a video of Takashi Iizuka being asked the same question as every other year.

Anticipating my arm getting twisted off but here it goes.
So Mosher decided he wanted to nuke four other countries. I voided the move initially because first strikes are kinda coocoo. However, I then remembered I allowed launches from a nuclear submarine fleet earlier in the game, thus defeating the whole purpose of "no first strikes." I was thus given the tough choice of allowing the launches, or enforcing a double standard.
So I took a third option.
Can you guess what it is?
That's right. Not only do I find it hard to rekindle the interest that was shelved during vacation, but I also had a bad time in St. Louis that anyone who's been to chat recently knows about that honestly is making anything from prior to the trip seem sour. Add in the fact countless players have dropped in such rapid succession snowballing is happening and my disdain for war in MP, and it really all goes down to the choice I have made.
MP4 shall be terminated come the update, and as always it has been my pleasure to serve as your GM. The moves made this turn are still valid and shall determine the epilogue I shall be submitting shortly.

For the record, I was going to reveal I was behind the submarine nuke attacks once the game ended. Although Tani, I see no purpose whatsoever in singling me out for trying to coup countries as an NGO. It happened on an almost regular basis before I became an NGO.

The unification coup was in Sweden, not Norway. I assume it was a typo.

I didn't know it was possible to crash someone's economy.

Between robbery and stock manipulation through such things as pump and dumps why not?
The sky was the limit with espionage for the most part... it was up to players to actually try and explore the possibilities.

Indeed, one could do anything from covertly nuking ones enemy, to releasing a batch of Mongolian death worms into a neighbouring state.

Bosnian War
Bosnia musters 1.02 million seamen whereas the Antiochan forces muster 927,000.
Bosnia kills 50,000 Antiochans, 40,000 Cypriots; Bosnia loses 400,000. One more port blockaded.
German Wars
400,000 German troops invade Austria
163,000 professional troops and 492,000 conscripts oppose Germany.
Germany takes 1 province; kills 78,000 Austrians. Austrians kill 180,000 Germans and capture 23,000. 3.5 million Austrian civilians pass under German control; 500,000 of them die due to Nazi brutality.
1,492,000 invade Poland; exterminate all Poles
The Polish military is alerted early on about a German invasion, and prepares itself for the worst. It fields 199,000 professional troops and 799,000 conscripts.
373,000 Polish soldiers are slain, while 250,000 Germans are killed. No prisoners are taken by the Germans, who push across four of the seven Polish provinces and kill the bulk of their inhabitants. 3.6 million Poles inhabit the occupied regions, and 1.8 million of them die as a result of the genocide while others manage to flee to Free Poland.
In a twist of irony, due to the devastation, Germany’s economy actually goes from 9.7 trillion to 6.7 trillion.
