I'd like to clarify the contest in relation to the We Are The World event. The contest is to reward creativity and add ministers for ideologies in countries where historically there are lacking examples. We do include historical ministers, and we are not only adding the contest winners. We include all appropriate entries in the We Are The World event and we greatly appreciate the historical input players are giving us. Thank you all, and an extra congratulations to the winners of the first round! Good luck to everyone submitting to Round Two! Click to expand...
