First off Id like to say that this is a really neat game! Really educational and fascinating with a pretty original concept.

I do have a lot of complaints or suggestions, though.
-I hate it when a single country shuts its borders/shipyards and youre entirely screwed because of it. I had every transmission vector on, the country was totally shutdown and how are they drinking "infected" water?!
-Would like the symptoms to be a lot more accessible, plentiful and open. Why cant I have a disease that is ONLY mental related and destroys the mind of whoever is infected?!
-The countries are rather unrealistic. Why can a 3rd world country outlive a 1st world and why doesnt Americas government start purging its own citizens? I think thats what would happen...
-On that note, the economic statuses are extremely vague and pretty much redundant and impossible to exploit.
-Needs more explanation for a lot of smaller things like economics, how to maybe re-open borders, what to do during certain situations, etc.
-I had the "Forsaker" trait on where the infected are supposed to kill the non-infected. A vaccine was created and the infected didnt so a scratch to the remaining non-infected. Why?

Otherwise its a really cool game with a really intuitive idea! Hope to see it come another long way. Thanks for reading!
