People that are participating in the game are not necessarily being Tony Blair, Goerge Bush, Shroader, Putin, or whoever, you are just portraying the role in the game as the leader of your country and handling the situation in accordance to your government's policies, and the way they would handle it in real life.
Everything will be clearer after you watch the video.

Yes I understood that, Scotland has its own Parliement, and hence forth its views are important to the politics of Britain.

Speaking of FM's, it would be cool if Fat Middle would be the leader of Spain.

Interesting. Well if we're making up new characters based on what is realistically possible, I'll do the same for Canada.
I'd rather do that than pretend to be Paul Martin. I wouldn't represent his ideals and vision for Canada as much as I could with a made up yet realistic PM. Let's see... I think I'll be the leader of the Liberal Party. This party, despite some serious objection from Western Canada, has the most nationwide support. (Hence, they won the last 3 elections.) The support for the Conservatives seems to have actually declined in Eastern Canada, though it grew in the west. Support for the NDP (it does exist in some Maritime provinces) and alas, the Green party, are almost non-existant. Support for the Parti Québecois does not extend outside Québec, and in Québec there's a healthy contingent of Liberal supporters. That's the political climate in Canada, more or less, so it makes sense that PM "Nurvingiel" would be in the Liberal party (and hoping to put this dreadful Sponsorship Scandal behind her, since in the "previous" election it resulted in a minority government for the Liberals). Are we saying that we follow whoever the current leader of our countries is, or we "replace" them with our characters? Now I just need a good real person name and background. I think I'll be from BC since I couldn't do any other province justice, if our backgrounds ever become relevant.

So Nurv and LC - no you can not just be who you wish - they must represent the POLICY'S of the existing government (adminsitration for the US). Also- I have a slight problem with the FM of Scotland being included. Then we would have to include people who wished to be governors of the states. The FM would only be a minor character - just like the governors of the states would have to be. I might allow it - but he's not going to have a global role - just like he doesn't have a gloabal role now.

Aw nuts. Well, that would have been fun.
At least this way I'll learn a lot more about our Prime Minister (who has actually been the Prime Minister for more than a year).

When I post the Nightline show of the war game (it'll be in two 20 minutes parts) I would like EVERYONE who is participating in the game to watch that (basically that's just a nice way of saying IT'S A REQUIREMENT). I will be converting the show to a real player video. This will give everyone an understanding of EXACTLY what a war game is like and especially this one. People seem to not fully understand at this point what it's like.
Also - I'm unsure if Jonathan should be a journalist if he doesn't have much time. Basically the journalist is the one that is the "game master" and sets up the scenarios and throws the wrenches into the planning. PM of Sweden is less of a consuming job than the journalist role.

Okay, I'll watch JD. What kind of world leaders would we be if we didn't keep up with important world affairs like the outbreak of smallpox?
Does anyone want to be China's president Hu Jintao? I think China would be a very important player in this game. However, I've never played a war game before and I'm not quite sure how it works. Maybe you should explain before we start JD. EDIT: We'll get it just from watching the Nightline broadcasts?

Blair as Che Guevara? Is that at all realistic? I'm afraid your personal hero won't have much of a part to play in this game. Not that I'm the details nazi plaguing RPGs...
