Information for Players:

Pahlavi Iran: The iranian army has been taking advantage of the war despite the fact that Iraq has been resilient and has caused many deaths in the bombing of major cities in Iran, the Iranian army has been trying to conquer the holy shiite cities of Iraq, Najaf, and Karbala, but the iraqi army is defending very well and prevents the advance of Iran. Regarding internal issues, democratic elections for the election of a prime minister should happen soon, the parties will be: liberal, conservative, progressive and shiite traditionalist, a large parliament is open, Iran may now be a monarchy with a similar model With the chinese one, where the emperor (in this case the shah) and the prime minister rule the country.

Iraq: Things are not easy for Saddam Hussein in Iraq as well as having to deal with the war with Iran, the kurds make another revolt against the rule of Saddam, the kurds refuse the truce and say they are tired of living under oppression of Saddam's government, Saddam rebukes them with full force, sending warplanes and Kurdish villages are bombed in response to kurdish revolts and attacks. In addition, the iraqi army has to defend its cities and at the same time attack the iranians, many bombings are made.

Jordan: The army is strengthened with national support and continues in the struggle to resist the invaders.

Sudan: New war starts, now it is the islamic government against south sudanese rebels who refuse to accept the new government rules.

Yemen: The country is practically going through a civil war, the arab socialists against the government member of the Arab Caliphate.

Syria: Hafez al-Assad sends a large army fleet to fight the invaders, bombings are made, the missiles are pointed, Assad says it will give one more chance for the invaders to withdraw or will attack along with their two allies.

Lebanon: Bachir Gemayel, the right-wing militia leader wins the election, but he is assassinated on the day he takes office. More problems happen and more conflicts begin to appear, the country will then be under the command of two prime ministers, a sunni and a christian, it will remain without a president temporarily until a solution is found.

Sri Lanka: Civil war begins, government supported by India against tamil nationalists and socialists groups.

Yugoslavia: Since the death of Tito the country has begun to face internal political crisis due to the lack of a competent leader, and even the USSR is not having a competent posture, less the USA that takes advantage to spread nationalism rhetorically.

Arab Caliphate: Internal and external crisis, the americans ended up making deals with Qatar and UAE to continue selling the oil and not to cause a crisis, automatically putting them against the caliph, since what they don't want is actually to participate in the war and destabilize the region, the Kuwait, and the Bahrain begin to follow the same path, the caliph will still have to worry about other saudis (supported by the americans) kings who wish to take office, the conflict in Yemen also further harms.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Afghanistan: The mujahideen's lost some troops, but they continue fighting and have been winning some battles due to the international support received. The mujahideen also say that the countries should not believe in communist propaganda and that the entire afghan people are suffering, they say that the soviets impose bodies and burn the mosques, they also destroy the fields (of course all in the context of war and propaganda).

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Czechoslovakia: Coup happened, in fact, the president was found dead the next day after a "respiratory insufficiency", the soviets find a way to put a new puppet government in the country and says that it is for the czechoslovaks to be loyal to the soviets and not to make an agreement with China. The climate in the country is tense, many people don't accept the version counted under the death of the president, although the social situation is still good, but many politicians protest against this type of decision and the soviets says that they all need to be quiet.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Somalia and Somaliland: The war will continue, agreements try to be made to reduce tension, Somalia begins to try to redefine its borders with Ethiopia even more in the conflict-ridden region, the Ogaden.
