Newspaper Rules:
- You must write 1, 50 word or more, newspaper article every IRL 2 days
- When declaring War, you must write at least a 150-word newspaper article

- Special events such as the use of a nuclear bomb, the movement of a nation's capital and the announcement of a trade embargo, etc, will require an article


Diplomacy Rules:
- You may declare war on, trade embargo, or ally with, etc. whoever you like provided you roleplay it correctly
- You must build up tensions for 3 days before declaring war
- You must build up tensions for 7 days before declaring independence if you are a colony
- You do not need to build up tensions before going to war to help an ally, an ally ONLY counts as someone you have Shared Map with, and having Right of Way does not count as an alliance
- You will require a moderator's permission to rebel if you are a puppet state, you may also rebel if another nation(s) launches a war of liberation against your aggressor, and successfully takes your capital
- Trade Embargos will require each nation to pay resources to the other, this will be calculated by moderators ONLY, using the following formula, which is subject to be altered in the case of certain embargos, if the moderator sees fit, sanctions will be paid to a neutral moderator
- Ceasefires must last for at least 6 hours unless both sides agree to end them earlier
- You may take the following diplomatic relations that are not possible with Call of Wars current diplomatic relations:
- Guarantee another country, human or AI, independence, this means they count as your ally and you can go to war immediately to help them
- Send a country an ultimatum
- Station troops in a foreign country's territory
- Pay Tribute (resources) to another nation
- You can make any diplomatic interaction you want with whoever, as long as it is something real countries would do, during the time period.
- You may negotiate peace terms at any point in a war, as long as both sides eventually consent to the terms, unless one side has won the war.
- You may move your capital only in times of war, or if the city they are moving it to has more (by which I mean higher level) industry, recruiting office and propaganda station buildings, there is a 1-week cooldown between moving capitals.


Rules on Puppets:
- The Puppet can still control their home affairs, e.g. what they build and produce
- Master Nation controls their foreign affairs, e.g. forcing them into wars, trade embargoes, etc. The Master nation will also be able to force things upon the puppet, e.g. demanding they pay him resources, provided that it doesn't ruin the game for the puppet.


Territory Rules:
- Your territory is defined as Provinces and cities under your control, the nearest (sea) dot to your provinces (to be known as your waters), and the airspace above these locations.
- Your country may also control certain straits or canals, e.g. the Strait of Gibraltar, or the Suez or Panama Canal, and you may tax people for using these canals, the maximum tax can be calculated with the Trade Embargo Formula
- You may close Straits as long as you give a 24-hour warning in the newspaper, if you close a strait, you may sink any vessels that attempt to go through it.


Combat Rules:
- There will be 24 hours after a declaration of war, where no combat will take place, however, if both countries agree, the war can start earlier than this
- If another nation places troops inside your borders, you may immediately destroy them, having Right of Way or Shared Map with someone counts as automatic permission to place troops in one another's territory
- If another nation flies planes over your territory, you may shoot them down after giving them a 6-hour warning, in their timezone, you may half the amount of warning time they are given if they repeatedly violate your airspace, within 24 hours from the first incursion
- If another nation places ships or submarines in your waters (nearest dot from your province coasts), you may sink said ships after giving them a 6-hour warning in their timezone, you may half the amount of warning they are given if they repeatedly violate your airspace, within 24 hours from the first incursion
- A War is lost when either or both of the following are applicable:
- 75% of your military has been destroyed
- 75% of your core cities have been lost
- Naval Blockades can be initiated when at War or when diplomacy is set to Trade Embargo (during the latter they will be a 2nd payment), this happens when it is impossible to reach a country by sea without crossing the blockader's vessels, the formula for this is the same as Trade Embargos, except, multiplied by the number of coastal cities only.

- Rocket Artillery (twice as long as usual to research)
- Self-Propelled Rocket Artillery (twice as long as usual to research)
- Railroad Guns
