I see, also, whats the policy on restarting a new nation once the one you start of with is destroyed?

There is a degree of "character shielding" for a nation. Short of godmodding (which is grounds for GM nation destroying event) your nation can't be reduced to complete destruction unless you agree. Though it can certainly be hurt.

But it is entirely plausible to agree to a storyline arc (so to speak) with someone where they take your nation and, through underground efforts etc the people rise up, hidden armies, robin hood what have you.
