Have you considered that the Nation RP section, in general, is doomed to fail because it's pretty dead? Only a handful of people keep it alive. Everyone else just isn't in it for various reasons.

Also, mechanic based NRPs aren't that perfect (as this thread implies), you have to worry about it becoming really number crunching. Then, you have to deal with the people that only join it to win rather than tell a story. 

EDIT: Just realized something. Doesn't this belong in the Roleplay Discussion subforum?
