ETO House Rules.
2. Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Spain may never be subjeted to diplomatic activity. They may only be delared war upon.

ETO Changes.
12.Changed the orientation of Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Spain to Comintern and fixed their political strength to 50. It is now prohibited to do any action with these countries except declaring war on them. The reason is (A) now both the Allies and the Axis can declare war on these countries, and (B) to emphasize that the chance of any Scandinavian country joining the war by itself borders on the ludicrous, and (C) Franco was firmly determined to stay out of the war. Germany can declare war at any time at the Axis player’s desire. Allied players can only declare war if they have at least 50 DPs.

There is one side effect of having Scandinavia Comintern. When any of the above mentioned countries goes to war, they will fall under the leadership of the USSR player. Once this happens, the countries.csv should be altered to instead make them either Allied or Axis partners. If not, the play sequence in PBEM-games will be more complicated with more mails sent for each turn.

How is the faction determined?

ORIGINAL: Uxbridge
The original faction is pre-set in the scenario...they will remain neutral if their activation level is below 100.

ORIGINAL: Harbinger
....how are their activation levels going to increase to 100 if they are not subject to any diplomatic activity except DoW?

ORIGINAL: Uxbridge
We can change it in countries.csv. Normally it doesn't matter. One can simply asign the country in question to any player, regardless of faction.

ORIGINAL: Harbinger
These nations have in effect been removed from the game until a DoW, at which time they are assigned to their respective faction via administrative control.

ORIGINAL: Uxbridge
THat's about it.
