I could be wrong on this point, totally. Maybe this game just isn't appealing to people in the world living in lots of countries like Japan etc. etc. and they never have a chance whatsoever micro or otherwise. So there is no point to do anything at all. Maybe. All we know is that micros are unable to contribute to this game, too few users, too few clicks, too few support, too few everything to make it worth their while to populate their server with hundreds of empty countries. Pointless. It doesn't work.

I think that's at the heart of the matter. Now... if it were on a mobile phone (and in Japanese)?

Thing is - I still don't understand why there's a belief that the existence of micros is "bad business". Reiterating: my understanding is that $$$ is calculated on total numbers, not on the basis of micro/macro or otherwise.

I think the owners need to take a huge risk and leapfrog other available games out there.

That's if they want the game to continue. If they do, you're right. If all they do is crunch a few small nations together, they won't need to walk away from the game, it will walk away from them before long.

I believe he [Marin] is trying hard.

I do, too. Now we'll see if they waste all that effort or do something worth all the hard work.

I propose the secession of the state of Illinois from BB USA.

Hi everyone,

First of all, i am happy to see this debate open

As a senegalese manager, i vote without any doubt for option n°2

All countries would continue to exist in their current form. Micro-nations would still be grouped together to form new leagues but the current flags, NTs and U21s would not change in any way

I speak for myself but NT is a big part of this game for managers like us. To remove nationalities would be a big big mistake !

Now, as an african manager, i fully welcome an african league. It would be easy cause we all speak french and/or english so no big deal. Elsewhere it is much more complicated.

Balkans
Albania
Montenegro
Macedonia

Scandinavia
Iceland
Norway
Denmark

East-Asia/Pacific
Vietnam
Japan
South Korea
Thailand
Macau
Indonesia
Singapore
Malaysia
New Zealand

British Isles
Scotland
Wales
Ireland

Central America
Dominican Republic
Puerto Rico
Bahamas
Costa Rica
Panama
Guatemala
Jamaica
Barbados
Mexico

Middle-East
Lebanon
Iran
Saudi Arabia
U.A.E.
Pakistan
India

South America
Paraguay
Ecuador
Bolivia
Colombia
Peru

Eastern Europe (For lack of a better name)
Moldova
Belarus
Azerbaijan
Armenia
Kazakhstan

Little Europe
Luxembourg
Andorra
Austria
Malta
Cyprus

I understand what you're tryng to do but to me it appears that option n°2 is the best for areas like Africa, Central America or South America. For others, option n°3 seems better : Andorra should merge into Spain. Wales, Ireland and Scotland should compete with England. Do mexicans want to play in Mexico only, in Central America or in South America (like IRL in soccer). Iranians don't want anything to change, so be it.

All those things said to ask : would it be possible to vote by countries and/or areas you propose and to do what each area wants to ? One week nations vote. The week after the areas vote.

Regards,

Nuff

There are only 200 countries in the world give or take. If there were 40 in each that would mean 8000 users. Outside the macros- the micros are meaningless and pointless...unless of course you want to invent a new universe wtih thousands of nations in it.

Except... that's still not an answer as to why you think that it "costs more than it's worth". Pretty sure that it costs zero for them to exist.
Look, if this is about consolidating profits, there are other things that need addressing over this.

Awesome. Now get that recognised in real world terms, and you're on your way to having that actually occur.

I do not know how true it is today but in the past many African managers were representing the flag of a nation they did not actually live in because their nation had not been created (yet)

Anyway do you agree it would be much greater to have more flags, at least in Africa and probably the whole world?

I can't tell how many african managers live in the country that is not in the BB world. There was one from Mauritania in Senegal but he is does not play anymore and he had no problem playing in Senegal cause his family was from Senegal.

To be honest with you, i think that BB has no intention to add more nations in the game. And when you see that there are only 10 active teams in Morocco, 8 in Senegal, 7 in Nigeria, 6 in South Africa, 4 in Algeria, 3 in Ghana, 3 in Egypt and 2 in Tunisia, why would they create more NTs ?

An african league would be a great improvement. With so little users, more NTs in Africa make no sense
