Re: Sitting on the fence
If the game host was not playing (eg, Pasha in the RAND games he runs), he could review all the pretender files to verify. Of course, this requires someone want to host the game and *not* play.

Bidding would work best in a non-forum environment if its going to be active, such as IRC or other chat client. Its too tedious to bid via forum post if you need to potentially do a lot of it.
Perhaps first everyone submits a blind bid set to the organizer, who then announces the bid set after all bids are received, and then a regular auction occurs in which players can increase their bids if they like.
Some rule for what happens if you win multiple nations should be instituted - I can see choosing the nation of your choice, or being obligated to take the nation you won on which you bid the most points.
