I just got this today, going out on a limb, noone had heard of it or knew what it was. Turns out to be very interesting, if a bit too complicated for a peasent like myself.
It turns out that Paradox Interactive are the publishers of this game (I recognised the "PARADOX" stamped on the back and went 'hmm, sounds familiar...'), explaining the superficial similarities it seems to have with games like EU. Now all I need to know is how I'm supposed to play the game! HELP!
