For rule differences between Machiavelli and Diplomacy, see the file

This Machiavelli is played on a mirrored map of mainly Naples and Turkey.  
The variant starts in 1454 with four powers.  The powers and their initial 
starting locations and owned provinces are:


N: North Naples  A-North Bari, A-North Messina, A-North Naples, 
                 F-North Palermo, North Aquila, North Capua, 
                 North Otranto, North Salerno

S: South Naples  A-South Bari, A-South Messina, A-South Naples, 
                 F-South Palermo, South Aquila, South Capua, 
                 South Otranto, South Salerno

                 North Bosnia, North Herzegovina
