World Alliances and Rivalries (W.A.R. for short) is a political role-playing game set in the modern day. You, as a player, play either the head of government, one of his appointees, a legislator within a country in the world, or a terrorist organization. Whether it's the sprawling nation of Russia or the miniscule nation of San Marino, you make the decisions that decide your nation's place in the world. Anyone can dream of success...but can you create it?
Despite the abbreviation, WAR is about a lot more than simply wars, although they do happen occasionally. WAR is about the entire spectrum of global politics and diplomacy, from trade to negotiations to brokering peace in trouble regions to, yes, war and its consequences. Beyond that, there's a political and domestic side to WAR, as well as the military and international sides. Remember: Your country is watching your every move, and they don't want to have to face what happens when you screw up and pick the wrong time to play hardball. There will be legislatures to squabble with and compromises and decisions to make. Scandal, disaster, corruption, rebellion, and all the other nasty things the world can cook up can develop at any time. The issues and the flashpoints that fan the flames of tension in our world still exist, with all of the trouble they bring. The Cold War has ended, the world has stumbled through the New World Order of the 1990s, and history is in the making. Can you lead your nation through this troubled time? Let's find out.
