.BUDGETING PHASE

.Social Programs
In order to keep your people happy and paying taxes  you must donate money to 
social programs. The minimum amount will be shown on the screen,  but you may 
opt to give more or less than the stated recommended amount. Giving more will 
cause your 'State of the Nation' rating to rise.  Giving less will cause your 
'State of the Nation' rating to fall. It IS possible to have your tax rate at
High or Shake Down and not have your State of the Nation  drop as long as you
give them enough to make them happy. By experimenting with these combinations 
you can become an effective money manager.

.Defense and Propaganda
Here you may allot  money to your Defense Budget.  Later you  will be able to 
use your money to buy the basic components of the missile: Plutonium, Control 
Circuits,  a  Delivery  System,  and  a  Technician to  put it  all together. 
Missiles can be converted to Smart Bombs with the purchase of a Smart-Pak and 
converted to Viper Warheads  with the purchase  of a Viper-Pak.  Any  of your 
money  that you  do not allocate  for your Defense  Budget will automatically 
go towards Propaganda.  This Propaganda  money will  be re-entered into  your 
overall money if you choose not to spend it. You MUST spend what you allocate 
for defense or you will LOSE it.

.Defense Spending
This is where you will purchase all the items required to build you defense.

|Plutonium|
1 lb of plutonium is required for each missile you plan to build. This option
is not needed if you have a reactor and can produce your own plutonium.

|Reactor|
Reactors  will pay for themselves  in no time at all and  are used to produce
your own plutonium, thus eliminating the need to purchase it.

|Technicians|
1 is required for each missile  that you plan  to assemble at  one time.  The 
more technicians you have the more missiles you can assemble each turn.

|Control Circuits|
Basic component required for each missile assembled.

|Delivery System|
Basic component required for each missile assembled.

|Smart-Pak|
These are used to convert already assembled missiles to Smart Bombs. Requires 
1 per bomb.

|Spy Training|
This is  where your  spies get trained  to do their job. When you select this
option, you will receive 1 fully trained spy.

|Saboteur|
These are needed to Sabotage  your enemy's weapons  as well as checking  your 
own to make sure no one has sabotaged yours.

|Scud|
These  are inexpensive weapons  that do not require assembling. Although they
are cheap, they are not always reliable.

|Viper-Pak|
These are used to convert already  assembled missiles to Viper Warheads which
are used for Biological Warfare.

|Bio-Suits|
1 of these packages contain 1 million  protective  Bio-Suits that are used to 
protect your people against Vipers launched by your enemies.  You will need 1 
for every Million of your population.

|Thieves|
Buying Thieves allow you to steal from your opponents.  They can steal 1 or 2
Missiles each turn.

|Intercircuits|
These are required to convert conventional missiles to  Patriot Interceptors. 
You must purchase  1 Intercircuit for each Patriot  that you plan to Convert.

|Scientists|
These are a must for maintaining your Nuclear Reactor during peak performance
periods such as  'Maximum Output'  and will almost eliminate a core meltdown.

|Diplomats|
From time to time your State of the  Nation may be below  'Fair' and you  can 
utilize your Diplomats to bring it back up a little.
