OK in the process of chasing flags with only nations with less then 15 to go. I have spoken to some managers form there nations and seems the game has some issues from their point. I can not see why someone would sign up in one of the smaller nations and get 50 scrim invites a week and then have little or no contact within their own league on comp.

Was thinking it might be worth merging some of these nations based on region. There seems to be some of the smaller ones with a single team actually playing.

I know it would be some major work but giving these smaller nations a chance to merge would give them more competition and allow them to have a better NT side etc.

Just a quick look came up with this. Sure someone could make it work better then me.

This would make all still a smaller nation but would allow them to have 16 teams in top grades and have their Div II's being mostly full.

the political travesty that would happen with some of your mergers!

give people the option
sure most would prefer to play against someone then to play in a nation all by themselves.
just does not seem viable to keep some of these nations going as stand alones

It would give teams competition in their league and make them fight for the B3 appearance.
How will you Jump start the leagues?
Would you make them start like Utopia.

But, I love the idea.
It also makes the teams who want an
African cup happy.

Yeah, there is no way they should have to play alone.

Good idea they could all go into Div II for first season and promote like Utopia. Or simple put the best sides based on record into the top league. Either would be a better option then playing in a nation by yourself IMO.

I do think that could be an idea, but why do this idea always come from nations which are not concerned ?

Is this because they think their chance is higher in BBB than big nations ?

If i check the last winners, they come from Spain, China, Poland and Iran, which is the smallest nation with 83 managers.

Then, i don't understand why big nations want to do something for/against smallest ones ?

It doesn't. Those of us in small nations have raised this issue many times.

Nothing gonna happen mate, just look at last time's conversation, it ended in something like having a second team instead of merging micronations.

From my end ot makes no difference. Teams can still be based in their nation just share a comp with some overs. There has been one active user in Pakistan for about a year now. A couple sign up and fall over just as quick.

It just seems obvious to me that they should merge. There should be a full Div I and at close to half the Div IIs full in a comp.

We need to do things to build up numbers and making it interesting from these smaller nations seems a no brainier to me.

Even if NTs are kept apart etc still its to give users in small nations someone to play and talk to and some level of challenge in doing well.

It is a no-brainer. However, developers decided to take the easy way out with the second team. Seems to me it would be rather difficult to implement stuff with the second team being in a micro nation, so they went away from micro-nations completely as of now. I wish the second team was in a micro-nation. I would have payed the 10 bucks gladly, it was disappointing to see the second team option handled this way.
