Well, you could make it a rule that if you return a city to it's
founders, you get a free trade route between the city and one of
yours.

 Comprehension test.
 Please read the text carefully and answer the questions.

         "Trusted Information Systems, Inc. believes that the
 Microsoft CryptoAPI will have a fundamentally positive effect
 on making cryptography available worldwide. We expect a large
 number of Cryptographic Service Providers (CSPs) to quickly
 emerge supporting this standard. TIS will work with CSPs and
 applications developers to ensure key recovery technologies
 are available throughout their product lines. In addition, 
 our International Cryptography Experiment (ICE)  will take 
 advantage of the CryptoAPI, which will ensure the success of
 the experiment." 
                Steve Walker,
                 President of Trusted Information Systems


 Questions: 
        Where will the CryptoAPI be distributed ?
        
        Who is supporting the standard ? 

        Which field will TIS work on ?

        What is the goal of the experiment ?
