Absolutely! Here are your options:

1. [b]Choose an Existing Nation[/b]: There's plenty of NPC nations on the board (some are very powerful)! I'll send you it's ledger and you get started. Besides a name, you're free to come up with it's history (within restraint), it's culture, etc etc.

2. [b]New Nation in Faresia[/b]: Faresia is the equivalent of Asia, so it would be themed accordingly but there's unclaimed territory in that region. PM me and we'll get you settled for Turn 4, which is the beginning of 1921.
