I just recently started playing Cold War, and I was wondering if anybody knew a country that is fun for a beginner. Not too hard, and not getting wiped off the map. Also not having to do a lot of military action, unless you want to. Preferably a medium sized country. Any ideas?
South africa Has been a decent beginners nation through out the series. I don't see any reason it wouldn't be in Cold war.
Its isolated, Stronger than most of the nations on its continent and has plenty of resources. (I'd suggest Indonesia but i really haven't looked at its starting conditions in cold war)

I second that. Spain is also a good one, but can't attack anyone unless you want to piss off all of NATO :-/ .
Also I think Austrailia is quite good as well as it gives you access to a colony that is close (As does South Africa) so you can play around with building up that.
Supporting Nuclear Power in the UK.
Just because the Japanese happened to build one near multiple fault lines doesn't make them any more dangerous than they were before the Earthquake.
spain is good, the economies not too tight, 3 colonies including spainish morroco (just over the straits of gibralter) and isn't too much of a major player in the cold war. You can fight people without annoying NATO, I fought etheopia in a proxy war then a full out war after they attacked the recently independant state of entriea.

Brazil is pretty solid but if you get too trigger happy then the USA will steam roll you. I liked Iran. Plenty of resources and plent yof enemies to invade.
Well it depends on how you want to find out how different things work. Bhutan isnt bad for a beginner but i found it rather limited and dont have the experience like some here in building up a small poor nation into a monolith which i personally find unrealistic - maybe locally in an economic way. Otherwise Nepal is a good start in building up your resources etc. But i havent reach the military side yet.

My first game I took USSR. Enable the ministers, and solely focused on understanding economics. Turns out 4 years later, that the entire world is communist and my economy is going great. lol

South Africa without a doubt: huge ressources, a good manpower pool, nice technology, a brilliant strategic staring position and easy starting enemies/potential adversaries to wipe off the face of the earth.
Im starting to wonder if its better to play a major power first with these sort of games. Things seem rather long and tedious trying to build up a small nation. But has anyone made a mess of things trying to play either one of the superpowers or another major power? Just curious to know if it isnt all that easy playing them, thanks.
