                              Concept : Prayers

 There is one country in the game that has no material  possessions  yet  owns
everything...  That country is country #0 (often called The Deity).  The power
of this ethereal country is unbounded -- it can do anything  from  creating  a
civilian  (as was the case with the first civilian), to literally moving moun-
tains.

Despite this great power, The Deity generally does not involve Himself in  the
affairs  of  nations.  However, when something goes wrong, it is to country #0
that people must turn to when in need of aid.  The most common form of  prayer
is the telegram; if you need help, type:
   [mc ##] Command : telegram 0
When the program requests your message for The Deity, (by whatever name He  is
current called), state it simply:

   Enter message for The Deity; end with ^D
   <512> My internet connection has been down for weeks, and
   <461> all my people have starved!  HELP!!
   <454> ^D

                              Concept : Prayers

If this doesn't get helpful results then you should send a second prayer  with
more specific details. e.g.

   <512> I'll donate 500 bars of gold (to charity)
   <473> if you can give me a few more civilians!
   <433> Okay?
   <428> ^D

This last message is sure to move the compassionate Deity to provide help!

Note that The Deity wouldn't consider  providing  instruments  of  destruction
like  guns  &  shells  (unless, of course, the church had a particularly great
need for a new set of gold candlesticks or the like).
