A geopolitical simulation set in 1993

I'm posting this with permission from u/Instrumental_X.

There's a simulation (run via a forum) set in the world of the 90s. It's called Balance of Power. To quote from the brief rules:

Players may join as countries, parties, individuals, militant groups, intelligence agencies, or most any other position they can think of.

The game is played by sending a private message to the Gamemaster (aka GM, person in charge of the game, in this case Ismail) describing what you intend to do. "Issue threads" are created by the GM and dedicated to a specific issue. The messages players send to the GM result in him updating the thread as the issue develops throughout the course of days, weeks, months or years.

I figure since the 90s are generally considered a good time for neoliberalism, and a bunch of players would describe themselves as such, I'd mention it on here.

Here's the link: http://eregime.org/index.php (the forum also runs other games, such as one set in the Mexican Revolution and another during the Latin American wars of independence.)

The game started in 1990, and three years in the world is basically like the real '93 except worse.
