I think I'll avoid Greece in that case, then. Since I feel like a faction Greeks wouldn't be too happy about Armenians in Constantinople, and don't want to step on any toes. And as far as Scandinavia goes, I feel like Denmark would be too heavily policed by Germany to do much without Hugs, and Sweden is taken by Moose. So that would leave Norway, or the non-commie Finland. Neither of which really seem like they have much room for involvement with others. So... leaving Scandinavia aside for the moment, which of the Ottoman remnant states would be best, for activity with others, as well as story flexibility? I think Palestine's history is at least slightly solidified, and I know Egypt's' is. Then Turkey proper would probably be int he same situation as Greece, and Libya i feel may eventually get assimilated. So... Syria, I suppose? Unless there's any additional input anyone wants to give. Edit: I was also considering trying my hand as Japan again, now that I've got the experience in nation RP's and actually know what I would be doing over there. Though I'm not sure if Japan would fall into the same realm of Britain of "Too much potential for my current posting speed." I can at least say that I know enough about the nation to write an appropriate history. That might even urge me to write more frequently. Less time spent researching, and more time spent actually writing for it.
