Edited the OP to allow for the use of separate Single-Player characters independent from a nation. These independent Single Characters cannot do Warplans, but can help acquire assets that make others' Warplans more effective.

I think though that "single-player characters" should be able to achieve a nation as a goal and thus not be a "single character" anymore. Same for the nation people who get decimated yet live could step "down" from ruling and play a "single player" or small group... Like with my character. 

Or perhaps I read this wrong. >.> It sounds strange when I read it.
