The Cold War refers to the three-way 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.
Each power has its own faction and economic sphere: Germany has the Einheitspakt and the Großraum Kontinentaleuropa, while the United States has the Organization of Free Nations (OFN) and the American Sphere, and Japan has the Co-Prosperity Sphere, covering both groups.[1]

Colombian Civil War (La Violencia)
Main Article: La Violencia
La Violencia is a civil war in Colombia between the central government, radical Liberals, and radical Conservatives, originating from the assassination of President Jorge Eliécer Gaitán in 1954. A ceasefire has been in place since 1956, but the conflict will resume in 1965 with the Second Patriotic Army. This is one of the few proxy wars where all three blocs are involved, alongside the Malagasy Rebellion and the Oil Crisis. Guangdong also plays a role in La Violencia.
Indonesian Civil War
Main Article: Indonesian Civil War
The Indonesian Civil War began in 1965 as a rebellion against the unitary government and the Free Government of the Republic of Indonesia (PRIM). It was a proxy conflict between the United States and the Japanese Empire, deciding the fate of Indonesia and its oil and rubber reserves. The conflict was triggered by government complications, rising instability, and disdain for Japanese control. The United States, Commonwealth of Australia, and Japan intervened, with the US supporting the PRIM and the Japanese attempting to uphold the Sukharno administration. In 1968, Suharto deposed Sukharno, ending the war with PRIM, but other separatist factions continued to fight.
Oil Crisis
"Victory"
To make it easier for the players to visualise who is winning and losing in this 3 sided Cold War, points are given to keep track of the different factions in the world,
For every victory in each of the following crises, points are gained and lost for each sphere. These can range from minor losses of 50 points for a "defeat" to a colossal loss of 200 points for a "total defeat". Additionally, as more members join or leave spheres and factions, points for sections such as naval dominance, economy, military size and nuclear stockpiles also influence who gets to rule the top spot of global superpower.
Note that, there are exceptions as well. During the German Civil War, the German Reich is temporarily removed from the Cold War Interface. Additionally, should the 2nd Northern Expedition under Long Yun succeed, reclaiming all the way to Manchuria, the defeat for the Co-Prosperity Sphere is an entire loss of 1000 points.
Notes
- ↑ In-game, Japan's faction is the Dai Tōa Kyōeiken (English: Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere), while its economic sphere is the Co-Prosperity Sphere. For the sake of ease, they are treated as the same group here.
