Myland decided to save the citizens of Otherland from the perils of their government annexes it. However, some other countries do not like it and may impose sanctions.

When you select a country, click icons to build/shutdown various “unbiased” media (Web, TV, Radio, Newspapers). Click on Myland to see details of your budget.
Should work, although the balance is not great. Not tested in IE. Needs a lot of screen space – sorry, no responsive UI.
