Will you conquer the world?

I've been working on a Super Power clone for a while now and so far im almost done with the military attack system and the economic system. So far I have decided to split the world into 20-22 different regions which are in the game geographical area. The only region that is currently added is the United States.

In order to conquer a region you must first conquer its individual countries, military battles are a 1 for 1 deal, you wont win instantly just because you've got a larger force. Military battles will be fought in waves, with larger forces arriving in more waves. The inclusion of waves allows the game to create a virtual battlefield which allows the game to track each waves speed, its attack range, and its distance from the closest enemy wave.

My biggest problem that I have encountered which has stunted the completion of this project has been the slider aspect to the budget. After finding that grid is relatively useless for use as anything other then storing objects that are 32x32 and text, I then was going to simply put an input box and let players enter data. I then found that I can add parameters to the command that is entered from a button, so I made a 21 button slider with 40-50 lines of code, and 21 buttons for each section, I will be able to use sliders for all budget related activities. Heres a screen shot!

Looks good. Sounds like this will be an interesting game.
