When the game ends by timer or retirement the victory will be given to the entity with the most victory points.

If that is a country that is not an active player, then the player will receive nothing for a reward or statistic added to their record.

The reason that I use "entity" is because it can be either a solo player or a coalition.

So if a coalition has more points than a solo player, the coalition will be awarded the victory.

Keep in mind that a solo player that is a part of a coalition will ONLY be counted as a coalition member, and will not be given a solo victory, even if they are the only member of that coalition.

Also keep in mind that when a game ends by timer or retirement, that the scores of players and coalitions from the most recent day change and most recent newspaper issue are what counts. So if you leave your coalition between the day change and the timer ending the game, you will still be considered in the coalition for game ending rewards.
