Honestly , 2014 world nations has a bad overflow of islands where they really detract the fun. Adding more to Pacific and some to Atlantic was good, but Indian Ocean and south seas just blehhh.
LOL that's too big an income jaja I think it's better to use 1:1000000 scale or something. In any case there is too big a diference in income from some countries but I guess that's part of the game, as I said i'm not used to this so I will start in my corner and see how thing goes :P
I don't think that you should judge everything by GDP. Many people would disagree the United Kingdom and France being above Russia. If they got in a war, Russia would definitely send them to hell, considering that Russia has 3x the population of France and UK. And Italy should be lower as well. Russia would clearly defeat Italy. Everything beyond the top 10 looks passable (though even there I would change a few things). Anyhow, I will be India.
To reorganise the top 10:
1. China (Superpower) 2. US (Superpower) 3. India 4. Japan 5. Brazil 6. Russia 7. Germany 8. Nigeria 9. UK 10. France
I would like to play. I don't have an opinion about which country I would like, however.
I'm curious about how no PEs works though, since I thought that the point of that was punishing those who break the rules. The only hard and fast rule that I see is the "you must roleplay' rule after looking at it though, so I guess it shouldn't be much of a problem.
