[@Vilageidiotx] Those are some good suggestions, and we already do some of these like the "focusing on individuals that make up the nation". Problem is we might not go far enough. There seems to be a small handful of characters who revolve around the leader and we barely see any actual character development when we are not in our IC yearly convention. 

That is to say a bunch of leaders holding hands and making trade deals. Now it was better in the earlier iterations of the genre there was more War, several people got wiped out, and returned. Another problem I thin is; we burn though posts. We tend to move faster in general, it's not odd for there to be several posts every other day. Which I'm just throwing out as an example. These posts are roughly anywhere from a couple sentences or three or more paragraphs depending on what the reply calls for.

We don't do as much collaborations on posts, just general stuff where to be or what we want. We'll partially flesh out the setting to suit our needs. We do base the entire RP of a game series so there's already a lot here and there, all we have to do is fill in the blanks regarding unexplored regions of America.
