-	~~In each of the Sim3.0 worlds, time moves at a rate of 30 real-life minutes = 1 day of AE. (except for AE1)~~	+

	'''Open Worlds'''		'''Open Worlds'''
-	** In this world, ~~there~~ are no restrictions or political boundaries limiting where an airline can fly. ~~Expansion is generally quicker~~, ~~and~~ airlines can fly any city pair in the world.	+	* Open worlds are defined by worlds that start with the letter 'O' (e.g., O1, O2, O3).
-	** Each airline can lease up to 40% of all gates at an airport, or 75% if it's a hub.	+	* There are no restrictions or political boundaries limiting where an airline can fly--i.e., airlines can fly any city-pair in the world as well as open a hub and build terminals at any airport in the world.
-	** The current Open Worlds in AE are: O1 and O2	+	* Each airline can lease up to 40% of all gates at an airport, or 75% if it's a hub.

	'''Realistic Worlds'''		'''Realistic Worlds'''
-	** These realistic worlds ~~contain more rules governing flights~~. Airlines ~~are not allowed to fly between two points both~~ outside ~~of its~~ home country.	+	* Realistic worlds are defined by worlds that start with the letter 'R' (e.g., R1, R2, R3).
-	** Each airline is limited to leasing 5 gates at an airport (or 15 if it's a hub). Further expansion requires building a terminal.	+	* Airlines can only open hubs and terminals in the country they start operations in; airlines that start operations in an European Union nation can build terminals at any airport located within the European Union.
-	** For example, consider three countries: A, B, and C. An airline based in Country A can fly between A and B or A and C but not between B and C.	+	* Airlines cannot operate routes in which the departure and arrival airport is outside their home country; this restriction is lifted for those that operate in an European Union nation after the round has reach the year 2000.
-	** The current Open Worlds in AE are: R1,R2,R3,R4,R5,R6	+	* Airlines may further be restricted to flying to certain countries due to political restrictions. ([[List of all political restrictions]])
		+	* Each airline is limited to leasing 10 gates at an airport (or 25 if it's a hub). Further expansion requires building a terminal.

-	'''Special ~~Worlds~~/Theme ~~games~~'''	+	'''Special/Theme World'''
-	** ~~These~~ worlds operate with a special restriction such as a hub limit, or propeller planes only.	+	* Special/theme worlds are defined by worlds that start with the letter 'S' (e.g., S1, S2, S3).
-	**Current Special worlds are S1 (Gate/~~terminal/hub limit)~~, ~~S2 (No leasing) and R~~-~~Delta (Unlimited airlines)~~	+	* Special/theme worlds operate with a special restriction such as a hub limit, using propeller planes only, high employee salaries, etc.
