-In the previous version of the game, the focus was on just one city, **Romero City**, a place beset with many mundane problems of its own even without the outbreak of a terrifying pandemic. In **UN: State of Chaos**, we have extended the perspective to explore what is happening across the whole state. Five cities (of which Romero City is the largest) are all struggling with their own troubles and turning to the State Governor and the National Guard for help. Will this be enough? or will the state Governer have to sacrifice valuable political capital and go, cap in hand, to the Federal authorities and the President for Federal help.+In the previous version of the game, the focus was on just one city, **Romero City**, a place beset with many mundane problems of its own even without the outbreak of a terrifying pandemic.

 In the Netherlands, this game will be played on the 1<sup>st</sup> of July 2017 in Wijkcentrum De Ark van Oost in Nijmegen. Since it is necessary to play in the same time frame, we will play this game from 10.00 till 17.00 BST (British Standard Time) or 11.00 till 18.00 CET, so one hour later than we usually play our megagames. In the Netherlands, this game will be played on the 1<sup>st</sup> of July 2017 in Wijkcentrum De Ark van Oost in Nijmegen.
