The astute DIPLOMAT serves his homeland in a variety of ways.  He establishes and maintains contacts with other powers, he reports back to his ruler on developments of interest, and, when needed he engages in less reputable activities. These may include sabotage of enemy production; espionage (including the theft of new technologies); and subversion and bribery of enemy cities and military units. Possessing no apparent military strength, the DIPLOMAT, when properly employed, is nevertheless a potent weapon in the arsenal of the intelligent ruler.
