By what I can tell, there is one major implausibility. If you want power and resources, try joing as or conquering sub-Saharan Africa, Jamaica and Chile.

Chile, S. Africa, Nigeria and Angola could put up a fight, but the rest are dead easy to take out if you have the manpower and/or technology.


 * 1) S. Africa has coal, diamonds and gold.
 * 2) Mozambique has oil.
 * 3) The CAR has iron ore and gold.
 * 4) Gabon has Manganese and oil
 * 5) The DRC has coltan.
 * 6) Malawi has coal.
 * 7) Zambia has Niobium.
 * 8) Angola, the Chad, Congo-(Brazzaville) and Nigeria have oil and gas.
 * 9) Chile has copper.
 * 10) Jamaica has rare earth elements.

I was just dropping in some information in for a good economic twist to this game.
