	Not being able to even DO A MAP after the 'action' time
has passed really sucks! I understood that you couldn't do anything
that CHANGED your country after the  magic minutes have passed.
It's kind of dumb for the game to disallow STATUS checking commands
(as long as I have the BTUs for them). I couldn't even send a
bloody telegram to complain (hence this mail message).
