If Africa was to be merged I'd put them in with Europe. Same or similar timezone, and the format would work out relatively okay: 8 groups of 7, top three advance to 4 more groups of 6, group winners from that contest the finals.

Guess they're staying in their own bubble for now then. Asia and America can't take them on board as then we'd have a prime number (29) and a tournament format is impossible.

4. Maybe Just one big NT/U21 called "Nations of Africa"?

This could work. Keyword here being could. My logic is that, if countries were small enough that they needed to be merged into one continental league for the sake of making the game fun, they're also small enough that it would be much more fun for them to compete as a continental team in national tournaments. Therefore, make a Nations of Europe/Asia/America team too whilst we're at it. At that point everyone should have a chance to be reasonably competitive on the NT stage, so both continental and world cups should be better for it. Just a matter of drawing up new formats once the merge happens (and do we make Utopia it's own NT?)
