True - but general consensus is that Karan simply doesn't have enough room for both water nations. Then again - it probably doesn't have enough room for all 15 land nations either.

In a situation with all 17 nations, either Version has something of an advantage for the water nations - one of them is probably going to be one of the nations surviving well into the mid-to-late game, and one will die. That's a 50% chance, better than most of the nations will have.

Of course, Vegas has odds on whether it will be Atlantis or R'lyeh still standing, and those odds aren't 50/50.
