I'm one of the new players looking to join! I was thinking of taking region 19 in the North it that's acceptable? What do the two crossed swords on the borders represent? Also I know I have to stick to the races/exports that have already been created, but can I change everything else (e.g flag, government, society, history)?

Region 19 is being invaded, by me and Meeky of all people. They're Orc slavers who've gotta die. However, me and Meeky were talking about handing the region back to NPC control, as neither of us are imperialistic (yet). So if you wanted to wait a day or two, you could have it. The new flag would then make sense, and as it's a slaver state, you could bring the former slaves in as the new population. You'd have to think about what happens to the Orc masters though - unless you wanted to be the Orcs, in which case, you could be the guys left in charge after the invasion who promise not slave again.
