The Year is 2172.
World total population - 32937 * 10,000 = 329.37 million
Global soldier population - 3202 * 10,000 = 32.02 million (9.7%)
Economy - 260,127 (GDP) + 65,620 (Global trade)
The Three Day War resulted from Poland launching its weapons at the Comintern leadership in an unprovoked assault. The result was the deaths of nearly one-sixth of the world's people, the destruction of Java entirely, and crippling of the Comintern. Radiation and debris contaminate soil the world over; only the Americas have been spared. Within 72 hours, the leaderships of the three nations were more or less extinguished, and as a result, peaceful provisional governments have come to power in all the affected states, based on reports.
The death toll of all the civil wars and WMD devastation reached a staggering 86.35 million people, or 21% of the world population. According to the records, however few they are, this is more people killed than in any other war in human history; the last recorded massive war killed only about sixty million by comparison.
There is some good news, however. The sheer amount of death and destruction has contributed to the ends of the Tibetan and Gangian civil wars, and the world briefly saw peace as the Wuhanese Civil War also concluded. Furthermore, the sheer amount of destruction and the closing of the Suez Canal has shot prices of goods up elsewhere, especially materials for WMD.
United Nations:
Resolutions 25 to 30 were not counted due to the UN shutdown in the wake of the destruction of the Suez Canal(a UN territory), so much human life, and the nation of Java, the seat of the Secretary.
The UN has restored itself, however, and is ready to resume operation. The Secretary for 2172-2173 is Angola.

Nukes cost 100 gold but go down by 10 for every 5 nations after the first.
CWs start at 50 gold but go down by 5 for every 5 nations after the first.

Events:
Recessions - These have a 5% chance of hitting any nation and wiping out 5% of the Industry. They will in turn have a 10% chance of hitting any other nation with that currency - 20% if the nation affected is the sponsor of the currency.
N/A
Boom - 5% chance of hitting any nations and increasing its Industry by 10%. It will in turn have a 20% chance of hitting any other nation with that currency - 25% if the nation affected is the sponsor of the currency.
N/A
Resource discovery - Hits two nations, grants +.5 Industry.
Kongo; NCSA
Baby Boom - 5% extra pop OR 1 new population for each province controlled; two nations
Chile; Catalonia
Bankruptcies
States that default (they run a deficit and cannot cover it) go bankrupt, and lose 10% of their Industry. This has a 20% chance of spreading to all similar currency users. Fortunately all debts are forgiven and forgotten that go beyond the actual income a state brings in.
SIcily goes bankrupt! The Lirazone is destabilised. Gangia, Greenland, Catalonia are also hit with the effects.
Brain Drain
The war has disrupted the flow of resources between nations.
Foreign Investment
Happens to two countries below the average taxes - currently 29%, granting an extra .50 Industry.
Belligerents auto-excluded as no one wants to invest in a country that might get nuked.
The war has disrupted the flow of resources between nations.
Uprising
Oz
16 occupied provinces; 13 revolts. The rebellion is put down, but kills 30,000 soldiers.
TF's Tips:
-It is more useful to invest all in one tech than equally divide it, as you'll get the benefit from a completed tech immediately.
-Empires will start to rupture at turn's end if weak enough. For this to happen, you must have only 25% more income than a client. Former clients (usually) show interest in remaining friendly, but will relegate your relationship to a mere alliance. If a radical regime is in power, however, they will usually instead try to form alliances, or may even try to break off other clients to form one.
-Defensive states get at least 20% against spy missions provided they have at least one spy. Make sure to pool agents with your clients or allies, and regularly rebuild your forces.
-Spies always kill 10% of their value on the opposing side.
-If you steal tech and there's no tech to steal, your spies go for money instead. If you're that deep in their computer network, why not?
Announcements:
A Rising Star - Yucatan
With a massive GDP and sound prospects for future growth and empowerment, Yucatan has joined the ranks of the powers. It is loyal to the Comintern, and barring Coruscant, is de facto leader of the alliance due to its industrial might.
The World Bank
Funded by loans, gifts and dues, the World Bank has established itself to try and stabilise the global climate. All nations can henceforth borrow against their future income, to the value of 100% of their current income. While lucrative, bear in mind the consequences of bankruptcy will be harsh.
MADness
It is possible to sell WMD technologies - Chemical, PB and Nuclear - without losing your own technology. It is also possible to gift them, but if WMD knowledge becomes TOO widespread, it is very probably a rogue minor state could easily get its hands on the technology as well...
Espionage
There are 9713 agents in the world, including NGO officers.
Industrial Spending
To prevent a gamebreaking industry spam, you can only invest up to 100% of GDP. This limit is imposed to prevent the bombarded nations from becoming industrial giants.
Lacuna Project
A team of Demon, Polish, 501st, and Venezuelan scientists have finally found a way to harness the destructive energies of WMD for peaceful purposes. Henceforth, every level of chemical tech owned will add +1/2% to population growth, each nuclear tech 1/2% to Industrial, and each PB tech 1% to Industrial. This will be effective next turn, so buy technology while you can! Korea has Chemical 5 and Poland PB 7.
