I am working this weekend so my posting will be a bit sparse still. Something I should have noted but did not is that the average nation size for the area is the island Gowia controls and the average population would be around 5 million. If I miss anything or anyone see any potential problems I am very receptive and understand nobody is perfect and catches everything. GemCat, I do not see any problems, your territory with 3 million people will be a bit on the sparser side with smaller cities and more decentralized population. Given your nation though I assume that is not only acceptable but intended. Gowia, that battleship worries me a little being a modern battleship on the same level as most modern nations. It is a maybe depending on if you can give me more detail on those other ships of yours and their numbers. I could imagine it being acceptable if it is one of only a handful of ships of destroyer size or larger given the huge monetary and resource cost of building and maintaining that. I understand that in order to have it your nation did not only weaken itself but almost outright crippled it's military in other areas for it which is why I am considering it. Legion X51, you claimed a larger amount of territory than I would like though depending on if other people join or if everyone else is okay with it I can allow it though understand that as such a large nation that does already look to be aligning towards another you will find yourself the focus of efforts by the other major powers to overthrow your government or make your nation weaker to strengthen their allies in the region. I have a few other things for you Legion but will have to write to you later. EDIT: I want everyone to understand not everyone will necessarily be on a level playing field as some nations will be more powerful than others as that is reality. Part of the fun on an NRP is trying to take weakness and turning it into strength or even seeing where that weakness leads.
