This is a new type of mapclose called a roadclose. 1) Nations are straight lines that either connect to resource nodes or create city nodes. 2a) A road of a nation has to be accessible from roads owned by that country for it to be valid. 2b) You can turn city nodes into Schengen nodes that let you and an ally connected to the same Schengen node use each other's roads and resources. 2c1) If someone who you are not allied with tries to use your Schengen node it won't work 2c2) If someone who you are at war with tries to use your Schengen node they will lose resources 3) To war a nation requires you to build roads through another nation's road, cutting it off, in the hope of severing the connection to the capital node and stealing the connected node. a) you may only sever one road per remix b) severing more than one road will cause smiting 4a) Obey the rules or else God smites one of your important nodes, meaning all your connections to that node are severed. 4b) @thugadugary or @L_of_republic act as God and also a roadnation 5a) Two ticks per backdrop. Two backdrops per remix. Smiting a node gives God an extra tick per backdrop for the smiting tick. 5b) Two roads per tick. 6) Only @thugadugary and @minimapcloses can edit the instructions and rules 7) Don't change the title just change the project number 8) You need a capital. 9) Only @thugadugary and @minimapcloses (joint owners) can invent new node types
