The same. W3C didn't finish replace the $E denomination on all pages for $SC.

Originally and for years, our money was called Eurodollars. It changed for... convenience purposes?
The reason was never explained. It would be amusing if they received a Cease and Desist order. Something that isn't exactly unheard of in Govt Simulator Games history...

John (or do you prefer Laguna?), your reference to other C&Ds rings a bell, but only faintly in my distant memories. Can you give me an overview or a few terms to google?

Either Laguna or John is fine. As long as I know its me, its good. :p

I only recall one amusing Cease and Desist order.
On the 1st of April, April's Fool, the game NationStates received a Cease and Desist order to rename their "United Nations" from the REAL United Nations.

We have a Security Council, but we aren't proudly flashing any copyrighted emblem, so... do you think we are gonna get a Cease and Desist order? ;-P
