[[File:1962 Cold War Rankings.png|right|Cold War Rankings in 1962]]
The '''Cold War''' refers to the three-way geopolitical conflict between the superpowers of the world: the [[Greater Germanic Reich]], the [[Empire of Japan]] and the [[United States of America]]. By 1962, all three countries are nuclear powers, making direct conflict practically impossible without a [[nuclear war]]. Therefore, the Cold War consists largely of economic competition, proxy wars and other rivalries, such as the [[Space Race]].
