A few comments on how trading positions works - supposing that I didn't like my team (to which I was assigned at random), and supposing that Micah didn't like his team, we could trade *with each other*.

So I would get the Pythium/Marignon team (and which nation I got, I could work out with nozshand), and Micah would get the Mictlan/Abysia team with Folket.

If Micah and I wanted to be on the same team like in the first team game, either I'd need to trade with nozshand or Micah would need to trade with Folket. Micah and I couldn't decide to be on the same team on our own - we could've done things that way, but I decided that random assignment was more fair.

Furthermore, you don't take the nations with you when you trade! The nation-based teamings were picked for game balance (and I think I did a good job, despite all the *****ing.)
