The variant is Modern Diplomacy II. . . with a twist. The ten nations form the UN, which leads to a number of changes. First, there are no solos by SCs. It will be decided by a UN vote. Each surviving nation has one vote for every capital they own. Capitals must be home supply centers and they will be designated by the nation before the first turn of each game has processed. The vote goes like this.

Each turn before the process nations will cast their votes. They may split their votes or cast them all for one nation or coalition. Votes may not be cast until the fifth Diplomacy phase of the game. Nations wishing to form a coalition to vote must announce this before the phase processes. In order to win, nations must gain 2/3 of the vote and coalitions must gain 3/4 of the vote. Coalitions may not exceed four nations. Players may choose to draw, concede, or cancel regardless of this, but solos may only be decided by UN vote.

Treaties: Nations may choose to sign protectorate, defense, and alliance treaties with each other for a period of time up to them. Treaties may not be broken during the duration of the agreement. All treaties MUST be made public. Violations will result in the removal of the offending player from the tournament.

UNRATED games. Thoughts?
