1. All countries must make up ONE, PRESENT DAY WORLD.
2. The smaller the better, but I won't restrict size. Make big empires if you must, but put them in terrible locations i.e. Siberia. I want the world to finish in enough time to let history unfold, but slow enough for everyone to participate that wishes to. I hope you understand what I mean.
3. Feel free to make as many nations as you wish.
4. Do not wank your nation to ASB levels.
5. Flags are fine, but not required.
6. Please post a map, but it's not required. If you don't post a map, then describe your countries location well enough for us to interpret where it is. When using maps, please use the map I used in this OP.
7. Have fun, and be creative. (But not ASB)
