DESCRIPTION
       The Earth fills up with countries one at a time, solving international
       relations like a jigsaw puzzle.

OPTIONS
       --visual visual
               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the name of a
               visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
               visual.

       --window
               Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.

       --root  Draw on the root window.

       --delay number
               Per-frame delay, in microseconds.  Default: 20000 (0.02
               seconds).

       --speed ratio
               Animation speed.  2.0 means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as
               fast.

       --wander | --no-wander
               Whether the planet should wander around the screen.

       --spin ratio
               Whether and how fast the planet should rotate around the axis.
               2.0 means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as fast.

       --roll | --no-roll
               Whether the planet should wobble.

       --stars | --no-stars
               Whether to display a star field.

       --underground | --no-underground
               Whether to show the seamy underbelly of the countries.

       --fastforward | --no-fastforward
               If you are impatient waiting for the countries to fill in, this
               will initially skip ahead a bit.

       --wireframe | --no-wireframe
               Render in wireframe instead of solid.

       --image file
               The image to use for the Earth's surface.

       --fps | --no-fps
               Whether to show a frames-per-second display at the bottom of
               the screen.

               to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global
               resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
