I'm still interested. I would volunteer to admin but I have small children. You don't want your admin really sleep deprived.

If I can make it through this game I may try my hand admining.

So what is the procedure for picking nations? BSE didn't really lay it out all that clearly. I would propose something like take all the names of folks who expressed interest in the original thread, randomize them into an order, publish the order, and then each person has 24h to say what nation they want. At the end of this process we will have definite committments from some portion of the large number of prospective players, and you can choose a map based on the number of players.

Edit: I agree with dropping the multiplier to default settings. In general default settings are probably best for a newbie game.
