Thirdly, National Security is the name of a Strategy Game invented by Mr. Thomas Walker. Mr. Walker currently teaches World History at Holy Family Catholic High School in Victoria, Minnesota.

The idea behind the game is that each player controls one of thirty european countries twenty years after World War I, in which the U.S.A. did not participate (for the purpose of the game). The players must survive each other, and though it may sound easy, it really isn't. The players have full capability to declare war on their neighbors, and often times players will become too big for their britches and attack a stronger power.
