lol. Velusion did his map and took la ermor. I will have no
more advantage in knowing the map than Dr. p, who had his 1st pick of choice. I am going to pick a nation that no one else selects with their 1st pick. And it will be a "lesser" nation. trust me. there is not a power nation left.

Besides, since I have no idea where I will be starting, that is an extra incentive to make all starts good.
