land  masses,  (continental  drift was too complicated), and then
pseudo-randomly places veins of gold  and  iron  ore,  fertility,
rivers,  etc.   New countries may join the game at any time; upon
entry into the game a new country is given two adjacent  sectors.
These  sectors  are  initially  designated  "sanctuaries" and are
inviolable.  (Each country uses its own  coordinate  system  with
sector  0,0  being  the  current capital, a sanctuary, initially.
The initial two sectors are always numbered 0,0 and 2,0.) The new
nation  may  stay in these two sectors for any length of time and
thereby be safe from attack.   However,  in  order  to  build  or
expand it is necessary to leave the safety of the sanctuary.  The
sector of land that was a sanctuary can then be  redesignated  as
one  of  a multitude of other land-use types ranging from weather
stations  to  gold  mines  to  munitions  plants.   For   further
information,  here are a few "info" command topics that are basic
to  the  understanding  of  the  game:  bye       designate   map
spy         update   census     food        move           syntax
weather country  info       sector-types  time      {commands}
