An experiment could be cool: having a group of micronations play the Cup like the Uefa cup or the "deceased" Supercopa. Elimination rounds but with diferent nations.
There those countris could compare and anlyze the transition.
If I was in a micronation of less than 10 users, I'd probably leave the game in no more than 3 seasons... but that's me.
PS: Back to 49k managers and growing, go buzzerbeater!
