With the information tab selected you see four small symbols in the center of the lower part of the screen. Each of these symbols leads to different information: diplomatic status (such as treaty, war, or peace); relationship, (a measure of hostility or friendliness); and trade policies.
This information will change according to which country is selected on the map. Your nation is selected by default. Click the map to change the selected country.
Clicking on the tab directly beneath the information tab lets you know which powers are winning the game. Approximately every ten years, a world council of governors meets, nominates two great powers, and then votes to determine if one power enjoys the support of a majority of governors.
At the beginning of the game the council has not yet met.
