Kellogg Creek Software had a game called SpiritWars, and won a trademark lawsuit against Hasbro/WotC's use of "The Spirit Wars". (Scroll down to the entry "Software Trademarks" on the second link. I can't find a better link ATM.) "Nation States" would be closer to infringing than Aaron's current "World Supremacy" is to the old boardgame Supremacy.

Interesting. Unfortunately it looks like tragedy has claimed Kellogg Creek.

Personally I feel he should continue evolving his current games.
