In my opinion owning a team in a micronation is a blessing in disguise.

I would not like to see my country get merged with germany (sic!) or switzerland...

no answer for me, cause it isn't unfair but i don't like it. Since they compete against team in the same circumstances.

Agree. Don't like them but Don't think they should dissapear and don't think of other option.

Didn't think of that. I meant not unfair for us, but unfair for you when you play us.

Thanks for being honest ;)

Like you already suggested once, I think micronations in same area should be merged until one of the micronations grows enough to gain "independency". They would still retain its' own U21 and NT players. Not sure how a draft would go though...draftees should be without nationality until they are selected by a manager, gaining his nationality.

Didn't think of that. I meant not unfair for us, but unfair for you when you play us.

Like how in my PL I been destroying NBBA teams. Obviously it is tuffer for them to build enthusiasm and maintain GS. I beat them in the PL but I don't necessarily think I have better team/strategy/knowledge etc. Just circumstances allow me to win out.

but there are also circumstances who amke it tough for you the lack of "homegrown" talent, missing deep in the league which result in lower tv and also visitor income when the teams are young. I believe it is easier for me to maintain a top team, then for you, and nippon is also so competive that tanking and staying in div I won't work which is maybe the road to elite which small country team can take.(in germany the succes of the tankers isn't that great till now)

But i think the great disbalance betwen the league, and the huge steps you could take at the beginning which gives also a big gap betwen team who started close to each other* is frustrating for new users which keeps them also small.

* i believe the difference of teams who started with 1-2 month differences in german div 4 aren't that big that you could compete with the older team quite fast. But in Bahamas two well managed first league teams, will improve "weekly" in their first year.

Teams in India have one year playing against bots before jumping to the top league where the same team has won for the last 10 seasons. There is no time to build up the team slowly and try to get bargain players, which I think would have been more interesting.

Firstly, I'll stick to main topic. I choose "I'm not in one, but think they should stay " option. Everybody should have possibility to represent his own country. Second topic is about "where's easier?". I have no doubt micronations are much more easier to success. Just logic test, Is it easier to beat 3000 users or 30? As you said new teams have tought competition in their rookie seasons. Yup, it's true, because they start from Div3, on the other hand they are already in Div3! In every country it takes season to get to the top, even in Tunisia. The reason why there's discussion about small countries is their influence in B3. This is the only cup where participants are from different countries.
