User blog comment:Batmanary/A New Map Game?/@comment-1589986-20110509004540

What I'm thinking is the player-country model more accurately simulates how a country will act, and it makes sure countries are on track rather than going in random directions. Also it keeps historical trends going. If you look a the original map game, it looks like the world just keeps spazzing out randomly. Just saying, if this isn't going to end up like the original map game, we need to have restrictions. Maybe we could say a certain country can only be mentioned every five years?

Also, why China, India, and Europe? Maybe we should start with a bunch of tiny balkanized countries and tribes to give people more options?
