Background information

This variant was inspired on World Diplomacy IX. Just as the old World map, it is loosely based on the world as we know it. However, the aim is playability, not accuracy.

Rules

Land bridges connect the following provinces:

1. Kamchatka and Alaska
2. Germany and Scandinavia
3. Honshu and Hokkaido

This means that the following sea territories are not connected:

1. Chukchi Sea and Bering Sea
2. Norwegian Sea and Baltic Sea
3. Sea of Japan and Northwest Pacific

The following provinces count as amphibious terrain, which means that fleets can freely pass through them:

1. Central America
2. Egypt
3. Turkey
4. Kamchatka
5. Alaska
6. Germany
7. Scandinavia

Normally, territories that armies can be convoyed through cannot be occupied by armies. The following provinces form an exception to this rule, since armies can both be convoyed through them and can occupy them:

1. Hawaii
2. Oceanian Islands
