As a matter of fact we are consistently seeing nations like China or Hong Kong, where the top 1 team of that country can sustain salaries like 1.5M (bigshoes), you can see that some Chinese teams have 1.3M salary this season. Tell me how many micronation teams are in the 1M+ salary bracket, compared to bigger leagues? That % will maybe, be 10% or less.

You, my friend, are absolutely right about micronations.

It may seem that the game can be easier there for someone who played this game many years in a competitive country, but nothing could be further from the truth in their reality.

I myself am a micronations u21 nt coach and you are completely right about the managers not knowing half the crucial things of training. I don't blame them, most of which only play the game to have fun because they enjoy it this way. In fact it's a matter of numbers and I think I can prove it...

Spain have the most users playing BB among all of the countries, and of course this is a big part in their success, but there are not as many implicated users as someone could imagine of.
Every staff have 5 to 10 people "working" on them and 50-100 users dedicated to fully train the players, almost 90% of them on u21 terms, because once the players reach certain age and salary, they no longer play for "new" teams.

That's a lot of managers, but still is around 4-8% of total country users.

Imagine that % in a country with only 8-15 users.

But this is exactly the point my friend, Folgado is Folgado because he's in the Spanish community.

There are no Folgado's in micronations, because they don't have the same community, the same competitiveness, the same engagement and the same level of knowledge

You brought this point, and compared micronations and very small nations saying that the fact that they earn as much as bigger nations like Italy is unfair and I brought you the facts that it does not change anything them earning more, that is all

Besides the name of this post is literally ''Economic revenue nation by nation'', success of teams from micronations in B3 is one of the most important metrics, because it shows if the top teams that compete in easier leagues like micronations and small nations, have it easier or not.

And in this case, your claim goes out of the window, because as we can see only 3 teams out of the last 32 teams in B3 are from micronations. That is around 9% of teams from micronations, 91% from mid-sized, bigger nations.

I do agree with your point, but not knowing is the same as not having chances

Listen the thing is, the results show it, there is no worry that you should have regarding micronations, nobody is abusing the ''easier'' system, relax and don't worry too much about them, if it would be easy for them to win B3 or have more possibility regarding international competitions I would understand but right now they are innofensive

what about making teams' TV revenue and merchandising being linked to the NT performances?
i mean, not exclusively, but NT performances having a considerable weight on the TV and merchandising formulas.

It's already the case for the merchandising, a NT player from France (currently 5th) gives more merchandising than a player from Belgium (#20) for example ;)

So it's true that a player from a micronation will have more chance to play in NT than a player from a big country but he will give less money.

The difference in merchandise is around 0.1% or anyway minimal, I don't remember the exact figure, per position in the standings, not as much as you're saying. You know this very well, and I don't understand why you continue to use it as an argument.

If it's not about B3/BBM what is the interest of this thread? I mean, you can change the worldwide economy in all the ways you want that will change nothing for the italian users inside Italy, they are currently all in the same conditions and changing the economy won't help them lol.

It's true, but it's frustrating to compete in a market where users from micro-countries are printing money and can steal players from users in countries that earn money through hard work.

So yes it's all about B3 and BBM (in BBM tier 1 the balance between the biggest countries and the other ones is even more in favour of the biggest ones, China, Poland and Spain have almost won everything) and as Coach sergio demonstrates to you the italian teams are not disadvantaged compared to teams from micronations. Teams from Spain, Poland or China are there to prove it. The fact is that currently the italian managers are less good, and that has nothing to see with the economy.

Coach Sergio hasn't really proven anything. I don't think it's a matter of Italian users not being skilled; actually, the fact that Italian users are more skilled works against them. For instance, you in Belgium or Tuoki in Finland can focus on the B3 because you can win easily in the league and cup, while in Italy, it's much more challenging. Put someone like John Peterson in a micronation, and he would probably have some B3 trophies in his showcase.

The post Is about worldwise economy and still you talking about BBB chance.....

Finally someone saying the truth here!!

Also, Italian cuisine is overrated (much worse than Spanish cuisine), Spanish women are more attractive than Italians and our language is much nicer.
