Basing your guns off what Willy just talked about would be cool and probably fit your criteria.

On a side note, all this talk of "balancing" nations seems unnecessary. From a story point of view some have to be strong and some have to be weak, and we could easily develop the plot in a way that results in the underdogs and little nations miraculously beating some of the huge powers.
[/quote]Balance is important for the free expression of players. It's important to not pressure others to do things which they wouldn't want from the beginning.
On the other hand there's no need for exact balance here. Neither it's desirable. Too much balancing has the same or worse effects than doing it too little.
