It makes sense then, that big nations should also discuss this topic. sooner or later they could be confronted with the same question

//I hate my comment. In german we have a term for this: "Schwarzmalerei", which means something like paint a black picture/ fear-mongering/ beeing overly pessimistic...

everyone votes? Bigger nations who this doesn't really impact are going to basically make the decisions for us lil' guys?


I believe the term you're looking for here is, democracy.

And as far as smaller nations having it easier, financially they do. I don't even see how this is debatable.


You mean I should be able to vote for the US president IRL bc sometimes his decisions could affect the world? :D

Lol. No.

But you're free to move here and attempt to legally gain citizenship if you're that concerned.

A better comparison would be getting to vote in state elections. I can't vote in Florida or Kansas or Oregon. But when it comes to something affecting the whole I get to vote and so do those in Florida or Kansas or Oregon. This game is the whole, so even though we are separated for the majority of game interaction, the marketplace and possibility of more interaction affects the whole.

I have 1757 players for sale and I'm $25,835,360 in debt. Buy them at outrageous prices, or be selfish and make me go bankrupt. You decide, BB.

A query: everyone votes?

No, it would be a poll set up that only the affected micro-nation managers could vote in. That doesn't mean the results of it would determine the outcome of what's to be done. An overwhelming majority one way or the other would strongly influence that decision, though.

We're not dismissing the concerns of the managers from larger BB countries, but at the same time, the effects of a potential merge isn't going to impact them in the same way. Nonetheless, everyone's thoughts on the matter are still welcomed and encouraged.

Reading between the lines, it sounds like whatever is done will apply only to some of the smallest countries. Very, very, very, very, very disappointing. Ah, well, c'est la vie. The more things change, the more things stay the same. Looks like the slow slide into oblivion isn't alarming enough yet to really shake things up.

Yeah, I remembered wrong. Sorry for giving false information. Perpete predicted that it would take place in 3-4 season, that's all :(
