Hey everyone. I have a question that might make me look like a noob, but I wanted to clarify it. I was surprised I didn't find the answer in the manual, but you guys have been playing the game longer than I have, so maybe you've got it fully worked out.

On the game map, I know what red, green, and purple mean, obviously. But what exactly do orange and yellow mean?

Based on what I've seen so far, at least with Union Republics and Warsaw Pact countries, orange seems to mean their loyalty is starting to waver, and yellow indicates they're starting to consider declaring independence. Is that right?

And what about when parts of Russia itself turn orange and yellow? Does that mean that, say, Southern Russia is gearing up to declare independence? Or does it mean actual civil war is brewing, or what?
