You can still make a regular order relevant to a treaty or a war if you want to, right? Also, about treaties, you don't need an order to pass them, do you? You can just do that IC, right? Does that mean a treaty order is just, like, if your treaty calls for you to pay a certain sum of money you don't have to use a regular order to pay it and can simply use your treaty order? Right???

Your treaty order is an order reserved to sign a treaty. It can't be used on anything else. All effects of a treaty will be ratified by your signature. You can still use regular orders to sign treaties, but acts of war are confined to war orders.

Stein will GM a war involving Russia. As for peacetime troubles, I'll find out in the update anyway.

Just one question though, how does a nation's international standing affects its ability to implement internal projects? America, as we all know, was isolated for a long time and was still very capable of catching up with the world powers despite not doing anything on the international level. I just don't think punishing a nation's ability to build and progress for not being internationally active or for being 'uncivilised' makes much sense.

Because bigger nations get more done too. They need those orders because they need to compete with others.
