I read about the update in the WA guide. When do these occur?

Like this?


When do the updates run? What do they do? How long do they take to complete?

There are two update times, which (regardless of any official terms) I call the "major update" and the "minor update". During both updates, any issue choices made by your nation are processed and for nations set to two issues per day (or per weekday), an issue is placed in there issue box. Extra things happen only during only the major update. First off, the Delegacy of a region can only change hands during this time. Also, the WA rankings are updated during the update (as it cycles through the regions) and the new list is posted at the very end of the update.

do they happen at the same time?

relatively. It takes a few hours, but considering the thousands of regions we have, and the fact that they are randomized order now, means that it won't be the exact same hour and second.

do they happen at the same time?

No, they're about 12 hours apart.

Oh okay, but what I posted is probably a generic example and some may be around it
