For some reason I read that as 'land nations' without the EA restriction - has the OP changed since last night?

Err... there aren't 10 or even really 8 'weak' EA land nations.

Agartha, Abysia, TNN, ... ???

I suppose if you believe the haters out there Marveni and Ermor probably get added to the list, but they're pretty strong. And if they're on the list, EA Ulm certainly should be. And where do you go from there? Vanheim? Yomi? C'Tis? We're into pretty good nations before we hit 4, much less 8.

Now, if you permit water nations, well, all three of them qualify as weak imo.

(Running a weak nations game as all ages makes a lot more sense because the weak nations are fairly well distributed.)
