China.
which is a shame because about 6 months ago I thought they deserved a place as a legitimate superpower. Now I want to blockade them back into 1840.

Re: NRL announces the re-start of their season May 28
Not sure about the new six again rules and the single ref. It seams very subjective and has put one team on top early in most of the games I have watched due to extended ball possession.

Oil was the key and Germany never had enough. Even with a friendly Russia Germany would have run out of fuel and not be able to fight effectively.
