I asked ChatGPT to read the events.txt for me and it came up with the following. Veteran players, could you please confirm or point out the inaccuracies below?

I’ve parsed through the WarPlan event script you uploaded. Here’s a **plain-English breakdown by country**, with the conditions under which each event triggers. I’ve excluded the AI-only events so this is just for human play.
