On the map, Armies are depicted as squares, and Fleets are triangles.

Make sure that when you meet with your group, you quickly determines roles, and then change your Zoom name to look like this [Role] your name [Country]. For example [Executive] Jane Doe [England].

Don't forget the following amendments to the basic rules:

Each round the team chooses up to 2 diplomats, one executive, and one historian. It your team has fewer than three players present, then players may take up more than one role.
Diplomats are the only players who may enter an opposing teams room.
The executive is responsible for writing and submitting orders.
The executive also has the power to ask an opposing team’s diplomat to exit the the executive’s team room, and if this happens, the diplomat must exit.
Historian records a narrative of all actions including diplomatic conversations, and who their diplomats and executives were that turn. Player selected as historian serves for a full day (if we do more than one turn then they are historian for all turns performed that day). Historic accounts will be submitted and available to all players prior to the next week’s discussion group.
If there is a winner, the winning team will submit the official history of the game.
Players may not be executive two turns in a row. How teams choose executives is up to the team.
Change zoom name to [Role] Your Name [Team/Country].

The breakout rooms in Zoom have been set up to allow you to move freely between them without needing the Host to assign you to the room. This is the best way that a Diplomat can find a degree of secrecy and/or privacy while negotiating with a foreign power. You may need to make sure that you have the most recent update of zoom for this feature to work. If you do not have the feature, the Game Master (instructor) will remain in the main room and reassign players to different rooms per their request.

As a reminder for the Executive: it is important that you write your orders correctly, which includes making sure that the orders are possible. The Game Master may - at their discretion - decide to interpret incorrect orders, but only at their discretion.
