@Chris what Yankee said, and also:

The space idea is apart of this "Cold War Score"

In order to help encourage players to compete (or do anything), an event is created in the Mod Events,

an Example is the Space Race. Obviously the space race has been ongoing since the 1950s, and that our attention away from the Space race and onto the rest of the world has lagged our technology behind. The winning side of the space race would obviously get alot of points ticked to their side. Pressure of the points on one side will prompt the other to try to counter it with their own ideas.

Like the real Cold War. But the space expanation up there is just an example of it in action

War is also costly, perhaps even more than the Space idea. It's either the player's decision to take the aggressive path (War, etc.) or the passive path (Space, etc.).

Not to mention if the score ticks too much on one side, the other side will have negative effects (typically unrest from a envious population, this is to encourage them to also compete for benefits as well). Just like the real Cold War.

It's where your money goes.
