Diplomacy: The Future Map Game Rules

Obviously, this will be edited, taking out spelling and grammatical mistakes. These rules may change over time, and will likely not stay the same. - VonBraun


 * NO Swearing, Racial or Homophobic  comments, the commenter will be banned


 * If you do not post for more then 10 turns your nation will be taken away from you and it will be available for other people to take


 * The game will start once 10 people have signed their nations up


 * Please be plausible! If you do not post plausibly, your implausible edit will be deleted. What Counts as implausible?


 * 1) Invading a country without a reason


 * 1) Invading a country and crushing the immediately


 * 1) Outlandish events (e.g Aliens land and make first contact)


 * 1) Giant Landgrabs in short periods of time


 * 1) Waging a war or annexation against another player and not letting them fight back (e.g. Annexes Bolivia, declares they won before the Player playing Bolivia even responds.


 * 1) Starting WWIII without Mod's consent


 * 1) Launching, making or supplying weapons of mass destruction


 * 1) Advancing technology too fast. You should never invent something or discover something too far ahead of real life, If you have a special circumstance, which could occur, please contact a moderator to ask permission.


 * 1) Expanding too fast. Massive expansion takes time to achieve, and nations that have expanded vast amounts in short periods of time (like the Mongols, Nazi Germans or Napoleonic French) have had their empires collapse, break apart and were defeated soon after doing so.


 * 1) Having real life people exist. No real life people born after 2013 will exist in this map game. There are billions of name combinations, other than very common ones or repeat names in royal families, it is unlikely that any of the same names that are for famous people in our world would be for famous people in others.


 * 1) Massive cultural shifts. Cultural shifts take many decades, have to have good reason, and tend to not be drastic.


 * 1) Religious changes in nations, other than secularism rising in the twentieth century, will almost always just be a denominational change. Being overly liberal for the time period. Especially in the west, religious freedom was a foreign concept in most nations prior to the nineteenth century. In almost all nations, women did not become leaders and important figures with equal rights until the twentieth century
