If this is going to be implemented than there would have to be some more complex solution. You can't just glue nations together.

For example, merging Balkan could go something like this:

Div I Adriatic league

Then form lower divs based on number of users per country

Montenegro, Macedonia,Albania
1 Div II
2 Div IIIs

Serbia
4 Div IIs
16 Div IIIs

Croatia,Bosnia&Herzegovina
3 Div IIs
12 Div IIIs

That's about 1k users

Promotion system would obviously have to be changed somehow to fit this.

Genarally what I tried to propose in my previous post is to decrease the number of Div Is, but also keep national leagues.

So basically group nations in let's say 15 groups of 1k users at least. The top division should be shared, and lower divisions national.

Only because one nation exists next to another nation, they don´t like each other compulsorily. And there are different stages of "don´t like" - USA-Canada or Netherlands-Germany for example - lots of cliches, but still works. UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan and India in one group on the other hand.... I seriously don´t envy the Mod of this future League-forums.

To put it all in a nutshell: Before even thinking about a merge, u should investigate, which nations u CANNOT merge for political, historical or cultural reasons. Watching ur suggestion, I don´t think u´ve done this (for more than 5 minutes, at least), and because of this, there is no arguable basis.

No offense intended...

I would believe that identity is lost in terms of the formation of youth, as one trains more effort to his nation, and now to train a new existing nation would not be as exciting ... Why not invest in game advertising across multiple platforms of that country? If I remember correctly Colombia was not so small at first when advertising was put into hattrick

I think that it is a good solution to merge the micronations. We used to have a more vibrant community in India but that has gone way down and there is hardly any talk in the forums.

I do think that it makes more sense for India to be part of SE Asia - not because of the political crap but it just sounds wrong to put India in the Middle East. Why not merge all the Asian countries except for China and Turkey instead of breaking into two groups.

I also think that it would be cool to keep the individual flags.

No offense taken. I guess we were naive to believe that certain people were capable of stepping back and realizing that this is only a silly, online, basketball management game. Real world politics and foreign policies shouldn't exist here, but I guess it is what it is.

C'mon, man, you're usually better than a hrudey. He gave you a constructive analysis and you gave him sarcasm. You asked in your opening post for polite, eh?
