First off, on the matter of massive states: I was aiming for a Russian Empire-esque state, so I purposely went large, however seeing as this is against the playerbases liking, I guess I am forced to downsize. I'll cut 54, 36 and nameless unnumbered region from my empire, leaving the still sizable 40, 39, 38, 37 and 35.On population: The super plague wiped out 80% of the population 500+ years ago (Assuming the Golden age was not 1 year ago or less, it could have been more than 500 years, even 1000 years). The Black Death killed 1/4 of every person in Europe some 600 years ago and Europe recovered pretty damn well. Still, the mass of 100+ millions is alarming, however I can't say anything as a Russia-expy I am one.

I don't know what point I was trying to make, I forget these things. Just gonna keep typing though because I can, and there's almost nothing you can do to

OH, oh yeah I remember now. Looking at this map, these countries are not countries, they're continents. It's all well and good for a few people to play a Chinese/Russian super sized giant, but it looks like everyone wants to. Everyone realises that you can't actually "win" a nation RP right? It's been tried, rage quits ensue before things reach their conclusion. 

It'll be best to play a nation that's just fun to play, rather than trying to alpha dominate other players with your ability to put together numbered territories into the bestest country there ever was. 

But anyway, let's see what Kilo has to say. She's the captain.
