Pop quiz - who can name the first country to emancipate (give the vote) to women?

When was this?

I definitely know that it wasn't Switzerland :lol: I guess there it was about 1978? I don't know for sure...

in Austria it was 1919 I think... in the US 1921 I think... so, when it was in New zealand?

Ok topic, but still, I wanted serious thoughts about the game I want to play. A few mechanics, not too difficult, but just so the game isn't all about luck. Some strategic issues please.

How about the republican can go foward 3 spaces once per game, riding on an Elephant. The Democrat gets to go foward 1 space per turn, riding on a donkey. :lol:

Lol. :gp:

Well, what'd you think of my suggestions? Btw I also suggest you keep the focus off resources, but on the people. Your government's agenda and policy will have different affects on different classes and people will can be happy, unhappy or content, depending on your actions. I have a pretty well-developed idea for the game; PM if you want me to explain it. ;)
