Getting Started on this Wiki

This is the Politics Games Wiki, where you can create, manage and play political and military simulations. Lead your nation to victory, dominate the world... the choice is yours! If in doubt, you may ask an administrator.

Create a page
Making a page is the first step in making a game. Click "Create page", then make your title, for example, "America". You can then add the description of the game, the instructions, and the game.

Source Editor
Whilst you can use Visual Editor, this will show you how to use Source Editor, the other way to add text and images. Both ways can be used.

If you wish to link a page, you can use. For example, if you want to link the OPGA page, you can add Office of Politics Games Administration (OPGA). If you want it to appear as something else, use |, such as OPGA.

Turn based/real time
Turn-based means that the moderators add another turn, usually a year, at regular intervals, where people can then make their move. Real time means anybody can add their moves whenever they want, which is less organised but usually a lot more fun. Most of the games here will be turn-based, because they are a lot more organised to do.

List of nations/factions to play
Each game needs players, and players need roleplay. So, there should be a list of available nations, where you can add your name to take that nation, such as "China: Player15". There are no guidelines on what countries you can play- you can even make some up!

Map
A map is crucial to show the territorial gains and losses. If a country invades another country, you need to show that, or everybody can and will be confused- did I take this area, or not?
