^
^The Cold War has ended with the dissolution of the Soviet Union, though conflict has not left East
^Asia and the Pacific. In this uncertain time, you may play one of seven factions. The Russians are
^under a more democratic but corrupt regime, still having on the map Siberia, but being breft of their
^Asiatic republics, though still possessing a formidable nuclear arsenal. The Japanese are still an
^economically potent but militarily limited democracy, but have the industry to raise a sizeable armed
^forces in short order if need be. The North Koreans and Vietnam represent the last remnant of anti-
^American Communist states (besides Albania and Cuba, which are off the map), and seek retribution
^against U.S. interests. The Chinese are at peace with the West, and are stable trading partners, but
^may conflict with the U.S. over Taiwan. The Western Powers include Australia and New Zealand, 
^Northwesternmost Canada, the American states of Alaska and Hawaii and their territories and affiliated
^states of Guam, American Samoa, and the Mariana and Marshall Islands, as well as their allies Portugal
^(represented by Macao) and France (represented by French Polynesia), and the U.S. protected states of
^Taiwan and South Korea. The Indians control India and are in a transitional period regarding diplomatic
^stance. And, finally, the Neutrals control all remaining countries on the map. China and India have
^become nuclear powers, and North Korea likely won't be far behind. Although the handover is not due until
^seven years into the scenario, China begins with Hong Kong due to the limits of the AI. The goal is to
^make the most of your situation in the scenario.
