Having 16 teams in a country's top league all do this in the exact same year would make for an even better competition.

(Which should kind of be the point of this whole game...)

I don't have much experience with lower leagues but I think there are problems in League I. The winners make significantly more money which makes it harder for others to catch up. It works ok in the lower leagues because the top teams promote out.

I started in the league II in Montenegro, and have big tv contract and attendances. I can basically afford to train couple of season without worrying about winning.

Because of that, i think you should increase your ticket prices to high. So you can make more profit. And make sure you stay in the div.2. :)

After season 10 the only winner who started playing BB before season 3 was ESV Laim. Many current macronations was made in season 3. It's only a detail and it makes no difference in the long run.

What's more important macronation doesn't give an advantage in the long run, only if we take a look on B3 competition. I'll explain why. You showed probably right calculations. It only means we have higher incomes, but not profits. Those profits are the key to success. There (in micro) is easier to tank, to gain money and still playing in top league. To win B3 you need only one shot. One season budget, which is easier to built in small nation. Check Bahamas, Tounes or Ghana (my favourite). Incomes might be 150-200k lower in comparison to league winners in macronation, but check their salaries. 5-6 season and they could fight for B3 champion. The difference is only "know-how". They (probably) don't know how to use their advantage.
