1. France
2. Brazil
3. New Granada
4. Turkey
5. Spain

1. Queen of Clubs I kneel to thee; Queen Anne of France I wish to be.
1.5 Korea as a slot one, I'd be very excited about playing Korea
2. Poland will be preserved!
3. SERBIA RULES!

How are nations going to be decided with 2 or 3 people claiming some of them?

If you'll tolerate a newbie, let me say:
1: Korea
2: Vietnam
3: Sweden
4: Italy
5: Turkey

EDIT: Let me swap Vietnam and Sweden in my ranking. I'll also throw Italy in as another choice.

Moderator fiat. Particularly for prominent nations, claimants are likely to be sorted by track record, as their decisions have the most repercussions.

wish I could play about 4

Colour me too busy to read this now but nevertheless interested.

Nice, we have about 18 players so far, I'll wait until we reach 25ish before deciding claims.

My decisions are based based on a mix of 1. who claimed first, 2. how important it is that certain nations be filled, and 3. track record as talonschild said. I try to rely on 1 and 2 more than 3, in order to make things fair for everyone, but from experience first-timers playing e.g. Great Britain is beneficial for neither the player nor the NES.

1- Virginia
2- Ecuador
3- Zagora
4- Sikkim
5- Switzerland

1 is a meh reason considering timezones bruh D:

Top 5, not in any particular order:

Greece
Serbia
Cordoba
New Granada
Peru

Yeah, but people who claimed yesterday will get priority over people who claim tomorrow

Said it much better than I.

I should note for the mod's benefit that I could play anything outside the endless politicking of Europe if someone else wants Tunis.

alright, so this is what I'm considering stats-wise. (the stats below are for demonstration purposes and aren't remotely final, so don't take them into consideration for claiming)

New England/Player
Dominion of New England
Dominion of Great Britain
Capital: Boston
Constitutional Monarchy: Queen Charlotte/Liberal Party
Next Elections: 1852
Issues: Economic Downturn, Labor Unrest, Louisianan Expansion
Economy: Income-Upkeep/Banked
-Military Upkeep: -X
-Administration: -X
-Colonial Administration: -X
Technology: Army X, Navy X, Economy X, Education X
Army: 20 Infantry II Brigades, 5 Infantry III Brigades, 4 Cavalry II Brigades, 4 Artillery II Brigades
-Haiti: 2 Infantry II Brigades
Navy: 5 Frigates, 5 Paddle Steamers, 5 Screw Steamers
-Haiti: 15 Frigates
Colonies: (+Economic Value/-Administration Cost/Issue)
-Haiti: +X/-X/Natives
Projects:
-National Railroad: 15/50

It's nothing particularly new or complicated, and fairly self-explanatory, really. The military system has pretty much been adapted from what I used for SKNES II. "Administration" is a catch-all for education, bureaucratic maintenance, etc. that's the cost necessary to keep everything running. I've taken a page from EQ and replaced a hard stability/dissent stat with a list of the major issues, since I think it's a good idea.
