I propose we merge micronations if following way: Make top divison shared, keep lower divisions national.

+1000.

My honest opinion is that this simply isn't an issue that can be fixed easily and really is difficult to envision a fair and proper solution absent a reboot of the entire game world, which is entirely unpractical, or a new parallel game world, which is mostly unpractical and a lot of work for development staff.

I think if that if something were to be done, though, a continental SuperLeague structure is probably the way to go. Not just for the micros, though it would give them something to aim for, but for every continent. Heck, maybe even a World SuperDuperLeague made up of champions of the continental leagues as well.

There are a metric ton of balancing issues and mechanical issues regarding promotion and relegation of the different nationalities that would need to be fixed; it's easy to have 1 team promote from each of four national leagues, for example, but if three of the four teams demoting are from country A, they can't all go back easily to the national league.

Still, I think of the ideas I've seen now that I let myself read this, I personally like yours the best.

Personally I dont think that the merge will solve the issue. I may be wrong.....
Why not make a test it with some volunteer countries and then check the results....if it works then we discuss using this method for merging other nations....

Keeping NTs, flags, Players nationalities and forums seem to be the most important things to players. Its just whether the leagues get merged, the cups get merged, just the top division gets merged and creates a 'champions division' or nothing gets merged at all.

SOme compromise will probably have to be reached.

...this notion of losing identity has been mainly used as a cover up for "I don't want to play with Ys ever and no circumstances") even though most of the ideas here are based on retaining the flag and nationality of players.

Exactly, this would be no problem if we merge leagues, but keep the flag, NTs and the national forums. This solution sounds like it needs more programming, but it is obviously the one that has a broad appeal. I don't care if I end up in a lower division, as long as I get to play some real teams.

I am glad BB is looking into possible solutions, and that they let users air their opinion. Keep in mind that the user numbers are dropping, in micronations mainly because there is a lack of competition and challenge. Something needs to be done. If it is at all possible to create new leagues with mixed micronations, that is the choice that changes the least about the community, and it creates an enviroment for balance.

The number of managers in each league should allow both further decline for a while, but also growth, since I think by doing this it will once again be fun to play with a micronation team (in a mixed league).

The tournament should also be within those mixed leagues, so every team in each mixed league gets the same amount of tournament games.

Well that is your opinion. I respect that, while I don't agree with you.

Iran community I think is working just fine and I believe that we should not be included in the merge.

Well like I said, I can't speak for sure about these countries with so few users.

I do open with saying that I'm still completely against the merge, but a common league seems like the reasonable way to go if a merge were to happen, of course on the condition that NT, U21 and flags stay untouched. But then again, how would this work ? What about the national tournament ?

Also I'd like to point out that with a common league, there would be a common draft. We have so little high potential players as it is, the way that players names and flag will be generated when they get drafted to their respective teams won't work. This will lower the NT competitions even more I think

I talked about a common league in my previous post.

If merges were to happen regionally, Middle East would have much fewer users compared to other regions and this wouldn't work.

We do have and Arabic based religion, but most people's knowledge of Arabic here is at best primitive and basic. English is better overall, but that too won't work well.

And I assure you that nobody in here knows Russian

:D
