(+) this comment if you find this stupid. my older brother showed me this game and i played 4 games that day. every single time, i got the disease into madagascar with no trouble. i looked at the comments and found the whole madagascar trouble wierd. the next day i play the game again and i could never get madagascar, not once. then i realised something; i started in japan every time i played that first day. is japan really that lucky? sure emough i started in japan again today. yea, i got madagascar. too bad the vaccince cured everyone too fast. doesnt that suck? if your doing bad with madagascar, try starting in japan. my only hope for this game now is not to win, but to see madagascar on the "forsaken regions" list.
