My climate is based upon my map. I currently have just a large map that is drawn on paper, so until I get one made that can be uploaded onto NS it may take a while to visually represent my climate.

A few other things will be changed:

1. Hyperlinks to my treaties will be added.

2. I will be adding some more detailed information on my alliances and treaty organizations.
