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.

You should soon include the Swiss community in this discussion. The Swiss is a country with 3-4 different languages so I am not sure if they would be 100% supportive of the germanlanguage-merge

So hypothetically speaking, you wouldn't have any problem playing with Swiss or German managers then, right?

I don´t see such a urgent need to merge for Austria with it´s 54 Managers. Nevertheless, a view days ago I wrote about my preferences if BB decide to merge Nations like mine (278268.408)

There are 14 Nations with max. 5 and 31 with max. 10 users. Most of them probably won´t be happy by loosing his country. You can cut some nations and let the users decide where they want to play. (btw: I still don´t know why beginners should not decide where to play ... maybe the problem would be solved by itself ;-)

For me as a German-speaking guy playing in Middle Europe I first would like to merge with DACH- Nations, second with Europe and third with the hole world.

The problem with merging continental could be, that for example South-America will be a Micro Nation compared with Europe .... therfore I would prefer a new BBB (like in Football - Champions League, Euro-League, the European Champion plays against the Champions of North America, South America, Asia a.s.o.) so there will be more competition for more users. Not for everybody, thats right, but for more than just the national winners. And I really don´t think, that there will be more competion in, for example, the VII. Divison in Europe (if there will be a merge)
