OK, so we are up to ten (nine with turns in plus Anaconda) with 24 hours to go til the deadline (I'll likely call it slightly before the turn would flick over).

Once I've got the final count, I'm going to pick a map that seems to suit the number of players and the breakdown of water / land nations still in the game, and do the restart. My thinking is that you want 12-15 provinces per nation (with 15 being the absolute max). I'd guess we will be in the 10 to 12 nation range, giving us a range of about 120 to 180 provinces. If anyone has any suggestions they'd like to throw into the mix that fit these criteria, post them here and share :-)
