 SYNTAX:
   [mc ##] Command : spy <SECTS>

The spy command allows you to  gather  information  on  military  deployments,
populations,  and  military supplies in neighboring land sectors.  You specify
the sectors from which spying will occur.

Spying actually takes place only from sectors owned by you, that have military
to perform the reconnaissance, and that border on a sector not owned by you.

If the sector into which you are spying contains patrolling military, there is
a  chance that your spy will be caught.  That chance is around 5% if any mili-
tary exist in the sector increasing to about 90% if 1000 military are present.

What the apprehending nation does with your spy  depends  on  their  relations
with  you.   If they are at war, then your spy will be shot.  If relations are
neutral, then your spy will be deported.  If they have a defense  treaty  with
you, then the spy will be ignored.

If successful, your spy report will reporton the approximate number of troops,
