I have a question for BBs or EGMs. What happens if by some strange phenomenon a nation increases its userbase significantly enough and it isn't a micronation anymore? I assume the merge will not be reversed for some time or ever.

We still need some changes to make sure micros after merge still have a decent number of players to go in the NT/U21.

So if when this merger happens do we have to start from scratch again? I finally got into a decent team and good trainees and I don't wanna lose my players.

i'm wondering about the fate of my team..
for the last 13 seasons i've been to the finals of my league (won 6 titles)
but this year i forced into a rebuild so i'm not expecting a good result.
what effect will my bad season have on where my team lands in the merger?

Yes that makes sense.

To weigh in about the ranking system after the merge. Would you at least consider a 'reverse Utopia' system? All these managers are currently in D1. What I proposed for Africa was: make 2, 3 or 4 D1 leagues in this new country so they will have a season without cliff edge. Distribute the teams among the leagues based on World Ranking. The top 16 teams after that (by record, playoff participation or whatever other set of cirteria) will go in a single D1 from the 2nd season, the rest will all be demoted to D2.

This seems fairer to me. WR across nations is influenced by how top teams do in the B3 and since the schedule for that is random...

I've made a mock of what Div 1 and Div 2 will look like once the merge takes place. Still need to post it as the format didn't translate to BB well.

You will definitely be in division 1 though. I can't see you dropping that far down.
