v1.6.15 — Statecraft: Leaders, Elections & Fault Lines

THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL • Campaign season: a poll tracker, demographic blocs, debates, gaffes and endorsements in the 6 months before every vote • Manifesto promises voters remember — kept ones win votes on election day, broken ones cost more • Election night shows where every province swung; hung parliaments mean real coalition talks with named partners who set a price — and a window to renegotiate

SUMMIT DIPLOMACY • Every one of the 200+ nations has a named leader with a personality — pragmatists, ideologues, hardliners — and personal chemistry with you that is separate from state relations • State visits, agenda summits (trade / security / climate), and promises leaders never forget; chemistry at the top counts in every negotiation • Coups and transitions install named successors who start from zero

THE FAULT LINES • 13 real flashpoints (Taiwan Strait, Kashmir, Hormuz, the Baltic...) on living escalation ladders — war is now the failure state of diplomacy, not a button • Your off-ramps when you have standing: back-channels, UNSC emergency sessions, shows of force, ultimatums • Standoffs move commodity markets before the first shot is fired

THE SHADOW WORLD • Spy networks built over months and burned in an afternoon — steal technology, expose scandals abroad, sway foreign elections • Intelligence now comes with confidence levels — and weak networks can simply be wrong

THE NARRATIVE • Six named outlets frame your every month; the story they tell moves approval • Foreign disinfo waves spread until you break them at the podium — or plant your own story and risk the exposé

THE PLANET • A living climate trajectory with yearly COP summits, climate migration at your borders, and your pledge on the line • Pandemics that spread along real trade routes — screen your borders, fund the global response, hope your health system holds

YOUR PROVINCES • Click any of your provinces on the map: explicit GDP share, population share, terrain, development, unrest — and a BUILD menu • Six provincial projects with real budgets and timelines: infrastructure, industrial parks, universities, hospitals, garrisons, deep-water ports • Foreign provinces reveal by intelligence — run a spy network there and read them like your own

FIXES & POLISH • Clicking your own country now focuses on governing it — no more negotiating with yourself • Greenland and other dependencies correctly belong to their sovereign on the map • Province clicks reliably open the region card for every country with real geometry
