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}
