War Policy

## Pacifist

Pacifist is a war policy where the person decides to not build a millitary at the moment and rather build a big economy first, this is recommended when someone wants to do a mechanized army where it costs a lot of things but supply. Pacifist is good early game because of it's food bonus and tax bonus

## Defensive

At the start of the game you're in defensive, defensive is good because it doesn't give any debuffs. Defensive is not good, highly advise limited war or pacifism over Defensive

## Limited War

Limited war is where a country would put the needs of it's people behind the needs for the war effort, it gives a bit of an economy downgrade but increases the war effort required, this is good for mass-production early A110s where the thing requires a lot of metal or when you're gonna spam conscript/infantry

## Total war

Total War is where you discard the needs of an economy for the need of the war effort, this is recommended ONLY when your country is being overrun by Russian tanks, otherwise do not use this, use pacifist. Total war also needs to be researched in the govern tab

## Inhumane War

Inhumane War is where you completely discard the idea of an economy for a desperate attack or defense, IT IS NOT ADVISED TO STICK WITH THIS WAR POLICY, as this will destroy your economy. ONLY DO THIS WHEN YOUR COUNTRY IS BEING OVERRUN BY THE RUSSIAN TANKS AND AMERICAN MARINES, otherwise use pacifist

Playa Limbo

**Playa Limbo** is a pop band from Mexico. They participated in *#MéxicoSuena*, the Mexican national final for the first edition of the Current Music Competition.

## History

Angel Baillo (bass) and Jorge Corrales (keyboards) formed the group after playing together in a local rock band in Guadalajara. They began as a project called Vodkatronik, experimenting with a mix of eighties music and electronic beats. They later met María León (Sargento Leon), who joined as lead vocals and guitar. They have performed in various parts of Mexico, including Querétaro, Nayarit, Leon, and Aguascalientes.

Playa Limbo were internally selected to represent Mexico in the first edition of the CMC in June 2018 with the song "Ahora Es Aquí", however the Mexican Head of Delegation decided afterwards to hold a national final called "#MéxicoSuena" in which the band came second. This meant that Moenia were going to represent Mexico instead of them.

MaNga

**maNga** is a rock band from Turkey whose music is mainly a fusion of Anatolian melodies with electronic elements. They represented their country in the Current Music Competition once in June 2018.

## History

MaNga was formed in the year 2001, being named after the word for 'cool man', 'Manga'. Initially, they were mostly underground, playing covers of other rock and metal bands. They came into the public spotlight after finishing runner-up at the Sing your song' music contest. This caught the attention of artist manager Hadi Elazzi (GRGDN), who immediately promoted the band to Sony Music, which resulted in their first, self-titled album being published in 2004, becoming a mass hit. Following this, they performed at various music festivals and have worked with such famous Turkish singers as Koray Candemir (of Kargo fame), Vega and Göksel. Most of their songs are written by the group members.

On 12 January 2010 the Turkish broadcaster TRT announced that maNga would be the Turkish representative at the Eurovision Song Contest 2010. They came second with 170 points, behind Germany.

MaNga represented Turkey in the first edition of the CMC in June 2018 with the song "Yad Eller".
