About how much freedom do we have to tinker with the nations as they are? Like, are we to stick with mostly historical, or are we free to alter them into being our own creations that are somewhat similar to the original?

You may alter them somewhat, but you will not be forced to sticking entirely to the original. More guidelines will be up when I have the full OOC up.

January 1st, 1866 is the start date for those interested.
