After giving this more thought I now hold that RAND concept is sound at it's core. The main issues are: 
a- subs, specifically newb subs in a vets RAND. The situation is all too familiar. The vet player is replaced by a newb. His nation, whether a strong empire or a humble kingdom is either quickly devoured or is extremely passive. Both ends unfairly impact the game result. 
b- nation selection should be semi random. |  Good points, me thinks. |
