HERE ARE THE COUNTRY SELECTIONS!
The Dominions- Shadowbound: May the Welsh always feel the yoke on their necks.
Holy Roman Empire- Seon: A tall order is ahead of you. Careful, careful thought will be required before each action.
Hispania-Tyo: Hispania's world empire is at the edge; I have confidence you can pull it away and steer it towards new heights.
Sweden-J.K. Stock.: There is no debate; I think you'll be great.
Poland-Omega: Make liberty golden again
Rome-Bair the Normal: The Empire's glory will require perseverance. Persevere, and you will ensure the Empire lives until the end of time
Egypt-Ahigin: Ok we get it, you like Egypt

I'm excited to see how you make Egypt survive and thrive
Persia-SouthernKing: Really excited to see where you take this Persian state! Just remember, the more you conquer, the more you can rename!
Houji-Christos: A white dude loving Chinese culture? You'll fit right in
Japan-Decamper: The
kamikaze blows once more. Are you prepared?
Song-Double A: I couldn't resist. Kowtow to the Zhao.
Jin-inthesomeday: I found your goals for Jin well reasoned and thought out. Excited to see how you play.
If you received a country, I will be sending you a PM with detailed information about your national situations. These should be arriving over the course of this week.
If you did NOT receive a country, I would invite you to stick around; either as a reserve, or as a player for any new Great Powers that arise (and there may be a few!)
I'm finishing up the ruleset and Update 0. Once those are ready, I will post the main thread and we shall begin!
