[@Voltus_Ventus]Did you copy the OP of the previous game?
Just asking if you made any changes. Kinda easy to miss.

Anyways, I of course join with the Heavenly Empire of Yllendthyr.
I'll also call the other players. They are newbies to this site but not the game.

As well as a few other topics to discuss.

1. Starting date?
2. Starting tech level? What are allowed?
3. Map? Fantasy or Earth? (doesn't change whether you can have custom nations with fantasy races)

The fourth is something I must elaborate upon. I feel our nations were gigantic. While having a cap on nation sizes is also counterproductive we need an incentive why people should creatr average sized nations the most.
Having Europe as the gathering point for adadvanced nations is one such method because you have limited space and people are naturally inclined to create a nation kinda similar to the one from real world. That's why I support Earth map among others.
[@ClocktowerEchos] There are of course spots for you and for a long while to anyone.
