Hello everybody. This RP has piqued my interest and I'd like to join. Would the OP or whoever else be opposed to me playing as a mercenary troop of ~40 dudes rather than a complete nation? Of course, I understand that I won't be able to participate in moots though, and that's fine by me. I'll be upfront and admit I have a bad habit of dropping out of RPs due to IRL distractions, and I think it would be less jarring for you guys if a relatively unimportant group disappeared as opposed to a giant chunk of the country going AWOL.
