Eh, maybe I'm just nostalgic for the old RP with more republics. Still, half those things you mentioned there are one of and half the other nations are autocratic empires. If that's the way it's going to be though I can't do much more than complain (but I'll leave it rest).

[/quote]Imperialism is in the theme of this game.
Remember WW1 which lead to the fall of empires never happened here so everyone (or almost everyone) is still in their Scramble for Africa colonization glee.
Also technically empires aren't deciding if a state is democratic or autocratic.
Britain is kinda half the birth of modern parliamentary democracy and it's a constitutional monarchy which also used to be an Empire until just recently.
If I have to split this RP between monarchies and non-monarchies the result is roughly half and half.
If i have to split this between democracies and autocracies the result is similar, or may even swing for the democratic side.
