Awesome, thanks Falkor. I'll PM you the password. If you get eliminated from the game, please ask someone else to take over (or PM me as a last resort), since carrying on admin-ing once you're not in the game is no fun.
Everyone else: Please ask Falkor if you need something admin-y doing.
I've just set Marverni to AI - it wasn't looking like a fun position, and they are at least bordered by at least two nations, so they will still have to fight over the scraps!
It seems like a lot of people are running into borders quite quickly. I know I have 6 provinces currently, and border 5 other nations (hello Tien Chi, Neifel, Agartha, Ulm, and, uh, I forget the other). Marverni's position sounds enviable.
