How do you suggest this could be implemented?

How to take screenshots without a special application? Press the print screen button on your keyboard (if there is one), open any viewer, press paste, save as .gif (because bmp's do not show in apolyton) -done.

SEATO is pleased by the friendliness peacefulness of China and America, and welcomes South Vietnam (and the US) to join SEATO in a military defense pact.

[EmuGod]

SImple, The USSR will take Terhan and Shiraz (which will take lots of damage in an attack anyway) and SEATO can take Kabul. I'll post my turn soon. I'm in the middle of an exam period but I should be able to get my turn up soon.

I am not goig to relinquish my claim on Iran that easily. Geo-strategically it's next to my heartland, my backyard. Nor are you going to gain access to the Indian ocean from turn one, Emugod. Keep out of Iran, and we'll be friendly to eachother. Advance, and I'll turn to NATO and USA.
Historically, the USSR occupied northern Iran, including Tehran during WWII. The rest was under British protectorate, the Iranians got British weapons not to join the Axis. Post WWII both withdrew, in favor of Rezza Pahlavi, who became the Shah- Western oil interests persisted longer. Iran was pro- western till Khomeini's revolution, 1979-80.
If you push into Iran, you 'll damage our relations severely. Don't.
Go do what you wish in Afganistan, Pakistani ties were established only after the Soviets withdrew, and SEATO had already dissolved. SEATO's claims are pure fiction, and he cannot pursue them, realistically, in this game. I am the power in the middle east, face it.

[Iron Chancellor]

Bah! We will show you who has dissolved! If you continue to mock our alliance, you shall face the consequences. Afghanistan has already expressed desires to join the South-East Asian Treaty organization and currently holds a junior membership, to be elevated to a full one shortly. Do not interfere or you will face severe consequences.

The Iranianian population, while Islam, is Sunni, which is a minority of the Muslim population, in fact, a quite distinct one. They are also Iranian, not Arab, and do not belong in ANY Arab state.

Afghanistan and Pakistan share majorities of Shi'a muslim Pashtuns, and thus belong in a single state, or at least the same alignment.

Finally, the Shah has not be deposed and still holds the throne with a pro-Western stance (the Islamic revolution was in 1979, and this here's 1964).

If the Arab League continues to make preposterous claims and insult the peoples of South-East Asia, it may find itself lacking in allies if and when the Soviets eye the rich oil fields of Iraq and Saudi-Arabia.

btw, the majority of the iranian population is shiite

[FiGu]

EmuGod are you going to start the game??????

[Iron Chancellor]

Oops, I knew it was one or the other but I can never remember which is which.
