 +=====The Game===== 
 +It is important to understand that the game is intended to simulate the policy making process in the Republic of the Seven United Provinces which was a Confederation of independent Provinces. Consitutionally, decisions can only be taken by the States General in The Hague if there is a unanimous vote in favour from the States of all Provinces. 
 + 
 +Hence, this game is a political and diplomatic game, not an operational megagame. Most players will be members of the States of the Seven Provinces and therefore achieve their goals by negotiation and diplomatic maneuvering.
