At the start of the game he holds unquestioned power across the six nations of the Warsaw Pact. But there are ominous clouds on the horizon. The new leader in Moscow has declared no more will Soviet tanks prop up tottering Communist governments. The economies, after decades of central planning and stagnation, have reached various stages of crisis. Inside the churches and among the students and their professors there are dissident movements that have been emboldened. From crushing dissent to offering concessions, the Communist player will have to use a variety of strategies in a struggle to hold on to his empire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"A bad regime is never in so great danger as when it tries to improve.\" - Alexis de Tocqueville\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eThe other player plays the Democrat.

On their side are students who are fascinated with the style and pop culture of the west, and the Church. Against them is the vast apparatus of the Communist state.
