What if someone successfully develops a Controlled Region to its next Development Level, and then the region becomes independent again?
In this case, the region’s current Development Level is equal to the Development Marker on the card, and players can extend Influence cards to it as appropriate for that Development Level. For example, let us assume that the Communist player gained control of Indonesia and developed it to a Level 2 Region. During a later Conflict Phase, the Fascist player replaces half of the Influence cards at Indonesia with his own, forcing it back into the center as a Level 2 Independent Region. On a later turn, someone else fires a WMD at Indonesia, removing 2 Cultural cards and 1 Economic card. Because new Development Levels are only assigned to Controlled Regions (not Independent Regions), players on subsequent turns can now add up to 2 Cultural cards and 1 Economic card to Indonesia, since it’s still considered a Level 2 Independent Region.
