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.

Time to revive this. I've done a few balancing tweeks:
-You now need to choose a capital as starting area. This also replaces the initial production. You will just have the production of your capital to start with, but this should be enough.
-People can join after the game has started, but only if there is still a capital free.
-If you are eliminated, you can rejoin if there is still a capital free.
-Ocean areas now cost twice as much to steal from another player. So while they aren't part of a country and so won't be able to double their production, they are better defensively, costing as much to steal as an area from which you already own the entire country.
-Wars and alliances are removed entirely. Instead you can steal any owned zone without declaring war, so watch out. And you can trade with anyone in the game. However, soft alliances can still be done. You can make agreements with other players to help each other, these just won't be binding.
-Trades now have a delay. If you trade resources, the other player won't receive it until 2 turns later. If you trade on turn 10, the other player will receive on the start of turn 12.
-You can now trade zones. These are traded without delay.
In addition, I have a new Google Docs spreadsheet that I intend to open up to more people. So more people will be able to update, hopefully allowing us to make this last longer.
New turns will start Sundays and Wednesdays at 00:00 Interguild time.
To make use of the Dubloon system, everybody who enters this will automatically get 30 Dubloons, plus another 10 for every player that gets eliminated while you are in the game and an additional 50 if you win the game.
If you join during Round 0, you also get an additional 10 Dubloons early joiners bonus.
Round 1 will start Sunday 15 February at 00:00 Interguild Time. So pick your capital and colour it in.

Say I and Quirvy both have an income of 6.
On turn 2 we both buy one zone. So we are both left with 1 resource. I decide to send my resource to Quirvy. So I have 0 resources left, Quirvy 1.
On turn 3 we both get our new income of 7 resources, so I have 7 and Quirvy 8. We again buy one zone, leaving me with 2 resources and Quirvy with 3.
On turn 4 we both have an income of 8. In addition, Quirvy now gets the 1 resource I send him. So I now have 10 resources and Quirvy 12.
If Quirvy now decides to send me 2 resources back, I get it on turn 6.

Added HB to the map as light green in Berlin. I'm not entirely sure if Doktorspiele comes from there, but it is the capital of Germany.
And please use the image of the person posted above you. So the next person should use the image in this post and the person after that should use that new image. Otherwise it becomes too much of a chore to keep everything straight.

Just take the map I posted above your post and edit it in yourself. You can easily upload through Imgur or Tinypic.

I think that Belarus should have a different color on the country map. Right now it looks like part of Poland because the colors are almost exactly the same.
