World Map
This is divided into 50 different sized territories. Color coded according to the
controlling Syndicate, the slices bear no relation to current conceptions of national
boundaries but are solely the result of decades of inter-Syndicate rivalry (see Equipment
& Territories
).
After a successful mission, the World Map has changed. The territory in which you
have been successful is now your Syndicate’s color, and the Territory Box reveals
population Status and Tax Rate. These two factors go together like ham and eggs.
Raise the taxes too high and the populace gets annoyed – just check the Status! That’s
when they can become rebellious and need some discipline, Syndicate style!
New Calendar
The day, date and year display in the top right of the screen throughout the Syndicate
challenge is reckoned according to the New Calendar (N.C.). This was introduced as
the globally accepted calendar, regardless of race and religion, when the information
revolution had progressed to such a degree that calendar differences threw up
unnecessary barriers to communication.
