Brazil: I found this game really interesting. At the beginning of the game I believed Argentina to be the greatest threat, so I attacked him first. It helped that his moves were not first-rate, and that he CD'ed. At that time the north was a mess, USA CD'ed (I think) and I did not care what happened in the north. South Africa was growing very quickly (unusually) until he CD'ed as well, and Ghana shot ahead after taking all South Africa's land. I invaded Antarctica, seeing South Africa's CD and the war between Oz and Frozen Antarctica. During that time, Russia and Pacific Russia allied quite well and also grew very fast, crushing India, China and Europe.

I ran into conflict with Pacific Russia while fighting for the control of Australia. Seeing that Quebec would unite all of North America without my interference, I also began war on Quebec and turned the tables. It was at that time that Ghana, who was originally at peace with me, stabbed me and took some Antarctica centres. It was only through gains in North America that I could hold on and chase him out. At that time, Pacific Russia decided to help me fight Ghana, then the strongest country and who had started to eat into Europe. When the pressure on me started to abate, I chose to send fleets to the Pacific to take control of the west coast of America. Then Pacific Russia stabbed me. I responded by sending lots of fleets into Russian waters but since Pacific Russia also stabbed Russia and took 6 SC's, he got 6 new fleets in 2 years :( so he forced me back. I was lucky that Ghana couldn't help Pacific Russia effectively due to Gunboat, and then when USA was defeated finally, there was no prospect of any solo win so I guess that was why we had a 3-way draw.

Congratulations to those who drew with me, thanks to those who fought courageously to stop me or the others, especially USA who took over a CD, and shame to the 3 countries who went CD.
