Missions

The Humiliate a Rival mission

Missions are packages of individual tasks which are available to a country and serve as a guidance for the country. Each country can have only one active mission at a time. The mission can be changed at any point but this will reset all progress.

Missions are only available if they are enabled in game rules. Depending on game rules, missions or their tasks may or may not provide rewards.

If a mission is aborted it cannot be selected again for 5 years. Missions are automatically aborted if the country no longer meets the requirements to have the mission.
