[spoiler=Round 1]You are born into a working-class family with two parents who are employed into factory jobs, and are the oldest of five children. As you easily pass through elementary and middle school in your hometown of Kent, England, your parents land you a job at the local factory. This is normal for a high-school aged child, and so you compete with many other children of the same age to keep your job.

[spoiler=Round 2]Your bright intelligence and hard work ethic are rewarded when you receive a surprisingly large scholarship to an American University, titled CCU. You instantly take it since you're tired of the dirty conditions you live in and have heard all the great images surrounding the United States.The competition at the university is stiff, but the experience is as you expected. This translates into large games with normal settings. The largest cutoff rate of the entire tournament is used in this round, since most students either drop out or party too much to succeed.

Only the brightest students remain, so the groups are small but diplomacy will likely be used.

The brand catches on, and the railroad construction materials are quickly used to build an expansive network of railroad systems throughout Russia.
