28 May 21 UTC Autumn, 1861: [Brazil]:“Whatever dude.”

Best diplomacy tactic ever. Thanks for the education.
28 May 21 UTC Autumn, 1861: [Brazil]:Just noticed. Six out of thirteen powers are worth less than their buy in bid, the second the game starts.

The four imperial powers are worth 35 bid points out together, worth more than every other power in the game put together (39), but for four points — and five powers are worth exactly that four point difference. I will keep track of bid points, round by round, in rank order:

28 May 21 UTC Autumn, 1861: [Britain]:I like the play by play Brazil, but Britain is at war with nobody - we are the friendly nation that is spread around the world and just trying to promote democracy. I will only attack communists and racists and nobody has claimed to be either yet.

29 May 21 UTC Autumn, 1861: [Brazil]:Since communists call a “racist” anybody who disagrees with them, I guess you’ll be a busy Non-gender-specific-presumedly-though-not-yet-confirmed-hu(person) being, won’t xou?
