I'm still thinking about who to choose for Co-GM.

[@MonkeyPants] Accepted!

[@ClocktowerEchos] Give me a location, even if it's just drawing on the map in MSPaint. But, you're accepted in principle.

[@Willy Vereb] You said the word "jet" and I got worried, but if I recall correctly, what few jets existed in the late war were mostly too fast to be useful anyway. Since you mention it, what [i]are[/i] the ramifications of developing a jet engine in the 30's, anyway? I'm curious.

[@SgtEasy] - total gut feelings with no research behind it:

-Persian Empire: I'm also entertained by a stronger player in the middle east, but I think you might run into territory conflicts with the UK?
-Assyrian Empire: Unless it's a "modern" revival, you'd have to have a lot of butterflies in whichever timeline to make this work.
-Byzantine Empire: it'd be interesting to see Italy replaced with someone more competent, but it'd be difficult to justify its existence
-Aztec Empire: Decent, interested to see the timeline they came from, also gives USA something to do in its own backyard
-US of Thai-Phil-Malay: I like this from an RP perspective, because of how much Japan you'd have to deal with all the time
-Dutch Empire: Part of me's intrigued by the Dutch East India Company, and that part is more intrigued than the idea of the Dutch Empire itself. But that doesn't really mean much as to whether or not you should choose them.
-Australia: A safe and reasonable choice. Probably the most viable and easiest to make.
