1: Yes the flag doesn't need to be taken. However I'm not very much for a solution where NT's still are in the game for small nations. We will see a higher competition on the NT scene to if we don't have tiny nations.


If the small NTs are removed, this would probably be a very very bad move. Instead there should be like multiple levels of NT competition, like a Group A, where the top ranked teams play, a group B for the mediocre nations and a group C for the hopeless.

Give the utopia players real nationalities, preferrably overweight by micronations, so every country has a decent amount of players to pick from and we won't need to talk about removing NTs. I would love to see my player Bo Taylor play for a micronation, give the Utopians some purpose.

One thing I haven't seen proposed is a lower hoarding tax for micro nations. If you cap the max amount of money at about 4 or 5 million for micro-nations it makes tanking redundant and makes training players more important. So not only will it stop micros out spending macros it will improve national teams as well.

There's also definitely something to this. One person in this thread pointed out that activity in the Utopian forums is mostly non-existent and they're right. The reason for this is almost certainly the language barrier. Even if national language forums were left alone, the comradery and rivalries built in this game come from the back-and-forth of playing in the same leagues and tournaments as people who share a language with you. Telling a country/language mate about a cup game you have against a team on the other side of the world isn't quite the same as potentially trash talking and having fun with that very same country/language mate.

I agree .... 100% ...... that´s exactly my point!

And what if we leave the national teams as they are? What if a merge only meant that you'd be playing league and cup games against the managers from other Scandinavian countries for added competition? Do you have a problem with that?

This seems to be the clear choice in the national forum merge threads of Norway and Denmark. Iceland just have a few active teams, with one comment that prefer option 1, but I don't know if they have followed the global discussion with all the small changes and suggestions. Sweden and Finland is currently not included in the suggestion. I propose that you will consider asking their communities if they would like a merge of the Scandinavian/Nordic countries on those premises.

I think it is the best solution, since the point of keeping the NTs are a big factor for many. We would get a league of about 450 teams. A good size that can sustain some loss of teams and also have room for growth.
