Specifically, the Country Details view. It is very briefly described on p. 69 but I cannot find anything else that refers to it. In this screen I can examine the Glory scores of the other nations, as well as National Morale, stockpiles, and such. However, when I compare the Glory score for the nations to that shown under Events, they do not correspond (under Events it is always lower). Also, the National Morale for France (me) does not correspond to that shown in my Economy window. I assume this is a bug?

Also, what do the stockpiles of money and commodities for minor nations mean? I notice that for conquered nations there is a standard 100 gold and 10 of each of certain commodities, but for protectorates this can vary wildly. For example, Switzerland has 1069 gold stockpiled (apparently). Would this be plundered if someone conquered that protectorate? If I capture Hanover, do I get Hanover's stockpile of goods?

another diplomacy screen issue:

There are some countries in game which are listed as conquered on the relstart.txt file. Those are also shown as conquered on the map (flag + conquerors flag, province completely in conquerors colour). Sometimes all Provinces of conquered nations are listed as conquered in provstr.txt. Then those countries don't show up on the map (e.g. the Polish Provinces which are listed as countries in players2.txt are listed as conquered provinces by Poland in 1792 but you want see their flag + the polish flag.)
Similar with Italy in1792: it is a conquered country (by the papacy) and a conquered province and you can't find it on the map. However it still shows up as a conquered country in the diplomacy country details list (like the hungarian provinces which are listed as separate states conquered by Austria - but at least those you can find on the map). I guess this wouldn't matter much, but some AI countries (e.g. Austria) declare war on this virtual Italy. This might be a bug?

The events report is written chronologically, so the glory reported at the top is the glory at the beginning of the previous move phase. On my to-do list is also to report glory at the end of te events report.

Many minor countries start conquered but can become independent during the course of play.

Italia includes some other provinces in 1792...can't remember exactly at the moment, maybe MrZ will remember.

That explains a lot! An 'end of events' glory table would be far more useful, as I assume most people (including myself) always thought that this was what we were given at the top of the Events window.
