Oops. This is a bit embarrassing.
I forgot to mention something in the OP.

You guys... may or may not be the only ones with AIs. But regardless of that, you guys DEFINITELY won't be the only ones acting in matters of war and international relations. One problem with the original game was that non-player-controlled nations were too passive and didn't do much... broke the feel, somewhat.
With that said.

OT:

@rapid:
"Good question! I'm an AI. Rather intelligent, if I may say so myself. Also, I'm bored.
So.
Better question.
What do YOU want?"

@gordy:
((Hope you don't mind if I spur things into action a bit here. Alternate history begins... now.))

Before the voice says anything else, you notice some clamoring outside. Loud. Some shouting.
What could that be?

People. Shouting in the streets, about... something.
There also appear to be some armed people. No shots look to have been fired, yet.

((You suppose correctly. Though... revolts, armed soldiers, and Tibet... meh, not too many directions to go with that one.
Though I could try something with East Turkestan... hmm...))

OT:
There appears to be a stand-off right now... guns drawn, pointed, civilians angered but without having taken an action... yet.
You aren't quite sure what happened, though the basics are rather clear.

"Ah. Oh, I don't really care. Whatever's easiest for you to remember.

Though... how easy it would be to intervene right now...

Fine, fine. As you wish."

You grab the dusty old computer.
