I'm going to ave to cancel this due to lack of interest. Most of the world is completely blank and I really wasn't planning on working many NPCs. Sorry. I'll do this again when I think there will be more interest.
There isn't a larger amount of people.
Perhaps you could simply give everyone larger countries? Or maybe cut provinces from the game? Don't know. Still, I was looking forward to this at the time, and would still join if it ever does get started.
If a game was designed for more than 15, and it doesn't have more than 15, it won't run.
