CHROMATIC DIPLOMACY
===================
 
V2.0 JimmY Millington, Robs Schone and Lynsey Smith
 
Five Different Coloured Powers vie for control of the Rainbow Coloured
mapboard.
 
Map based upon Romans V1.0 until I can draw up a new one.
All provinces and sea spaces have been renamed, in tune with the multihued
nature of the game.
 
THE MAP
=======
 
Take a Romans Map, and convert province names as follows:
