fantastic game, but just a bit short.

I know that the game is just made in the spirit of fun, but here are a few suggestions for #3 (I loved numbers 1 and 2 both).

1)
In both versions of the game everyone who got infected was doomed to death. In reality this would not be the case as a certain percentage of the population would be immune and a certain percentage would survive infection.

2)
Just because borders are closed does not mean that people will not get through and it certainly does not mean that air-born, water-born and pest born disease could not get through. This opens up some interesting possibilities for the news feed: "Scores of Koreans were slaughtered at the border of China where they were fleeing a disease which has decimated their home country. Many governments and individuals are appalled by Korea's actions. " Etcetera.

3)
It would be nice to see some dynamic population density maps (you could use flash's bitmap data class for this). You should have them for population, infected population, contaminated water supply, etc, all done in different colours or something.

4)
You could include side effects to the disease. Economic collapse as nations quiver in fear and lose trading partners, starvation as infrastructure falls apart, Coup d'état, the possibilities are endless.

All in all a fun game, but it has a lot more potential.

some people just don't appreciate satire.
