The goal of the game is to conquer the entire map. This is done by taking over provinces using your resources. These provinces will in turn produce more resources for you.
Ordinary land provinces and sea areas cost 5 resources to take over and produce one resource each. Capital zones, which are marked by a grey border cost 25 resources to take over and produce 5 resources each.
However, if you are able to conquer an entire country as marked in the map, you will get an additional resource production for each zone. So if you have a country with 3 provinces and a capital, you will get 3 + 5 + 4 = 12 resources each turn instead of only 8.
Only areas bordering areas you already own can be taken over. These areas don't need to border your zones in the beginning of the turn, though. If you have enough areas you can take over a new zone and then take over a second zone which doesn't border any of your original provinces, but does border the new zone you've just taken over.
If you have resources remaining at the end of your turn, they get stored and carry over to the next.
To take over an area, just take the most recently posted map and colour in the area you want to take.
You don't need to declare war to take over another person's zones. If you have enough resources, you can just snatch them away. However, these zones will take more resources to take over.
Player owned land provinces will take 10 resources to take over instead of 5 and capitals take 50 resources to take over instead of 25. Furthermore, if the entire country is owned they will again cost twice as much to take over, provinces taking 20 and capitals 100 resources to take over. If a player owns an entire country and you want to take over multiple zones from that country in the same turn, only one will cost double to take over. So if you want to take over two ordinary provinces, you will only have to pay 30 resources seeing how after the first one he doesn't own the entire country anymore.
Player owned sea areas will always cost 20 resources to take over. This can not be raised in any way.
There are no alliances in the game either. It is every nation for itself. But it is possible to trade with any other player. Both resources and zones can be traded.
Resources take two turns to trade. If I have 10 resources remaining on turn 10, I can send it to another player. On turn 11 neither player has these resources, on turn 12 the resources arrive and the other player can immediately use them.
Zones are traded immediately and the other player gains its resources the next turn.
Every player starts with only a capital. If you want to join, simply pick any one capital city on the map that has not been claimed yet and claim it for yourself. If no more capitals are available, I'm afraid the game is full and you can't join anymore.
If you're eliminated from the game, you can join anew if there is still a capital free.
Aside from this capital, you don't start with anything. You have no initial resources or production other than the 5 resource production from your capital.

A word of advice, Denmark is easy taking for you now. It has that little island above GB that nobody else can take now that you've got that piece of ocean there. It is a mid sized country, so it should give you a production boost fairly quick and it gives you easy access to the unconquered eastern Europe. I suggest you take over either that next or Iceland.

Who, me? I'm not going for Denmark quite yet, I want to take over Finland, Latvia and Estonia first. And then I was thinking maybe going for Belarus or Poland or something. Basically I want to take over eastern Europe.

No, Rocket. For you taking over Denmark is going to be tricky considering you need to take over Rocket's ocean zone first. And that will take up quite a few resources.

However, if RG2 took over Denmark then he would be a little too close to me for comfort...

Is a player eliminated when all their areas are occupied by someone else or when just their starting place is occupied?

Yeah, I meant all of Belarus except the capital. I'll capture Minsk next turn.

Edited my post to claim one more territory. Nobody needs to change theirs. | | jellsprout |

Rocket, you still need to claim that the Shetland Islands.
Edit: I will be kind and allow you to switch in that ocean part you claimed this turn for the islands. We haven't started a new turn yet and nobody else is close to there, so it won't impact the game at all.

This will probably be the northern extent of my empire.
I think I'm claiming Hungary now. | | Rocketguy2 |

That would be me.
I don't intend to attack you. I still have plenty to expand before that happens. However, I don't want you attacking me either. So I took over that ocean region next to Britain so I can take a big chunk out of your production if you ever decide to be foolish and attack me. It never hurts to be prepared.
And a reminder, you still need the Shetland Islands to complete GB.

NOTICE:
Apparently in turn 8 somehow two regions that Jazz had claimed that turn disappeared again. He has since reclaimed those regions, but it caused me to mess up his production and resources. I have edited his production values in the Doc to what they would've been if he had kept those regions and I edited his resources to what they should have been with that production. He has also been given back the 10 resources he spend twice on those two regions. So Jazz, you now have an additional 12 resources to spend.
I checked all the current production values with the current map and everything appears to be okay again for all players.
Now, to prevent an error like this from creeping in again I ask all players to keep an eye on their own regions. If you notice that another players turn messed something of yours up, speak up before any more of these errors creep in. I am only one guy and can't catch all these mistakes by myself, so I ask everyone to help me in this.

Found an error: for some reason on the map Sprout posted London is still unclaimed, even though Rocket captured it a while ago.
