Suggestion for eUS regions in eRepublik V2
Rainbow Slash
Perhaps the eUS could get less regions in the new version of eRepublik, 51 regions seems like way too many, eRussia is a huge country in size but only has 12 regions, this allows them to have a high iron region, this would be a fair split-up of the eUS into 11 regions, Russia is much bigger in size compared to the US but the eUS has over 4 times as many regions as eRussia, they should not have made every state its own region.
Also I think nations should be able to set regions as "recommended" for new players, this would make it easier to get new players to join regions with a hospital constructed in them.

The second idea is a very good one.
In regards to the first idea, I like it I don't think it would work strategically because we border so many enemy nations.
Four regions when bordering so many hostiles seems bad for us..
Tbh the 51 regions arn't so bad; it gives us breathing room.
And any citizens who actually intend to keep playing the game correctly WILL move. Eventually.
51 regions means we can give up 49
keep in mind folks that this would give us a high iron region, being able to retreat 40 or so times does have its perks, but having a high iron would be much more valuable.
[FFFFRAGE]I would like in any new version for Ireland to not get entirely shafted by devs too lazy to google "Ireland natural resources" for five seconds...

Excuse me, WHAT? So they get more regions of more value while in real life having identical topography to us and with similar landmass(that is to say the land itself is of the same strata and so any excuse of better natural resources in life versus lazy chuckle**** devs is invalid).

As for the eUS it would be nice for you guys to have a high iron factoring the US is a geologic hotbed. I'd imagine it'd be in appalachia or the west somewhere.
Jon has a point as well, the eUS probably wouldn't have survived the early days without 51 regions. "Quantity has a quality all its own" and all that. But if you guys finished your baby boom you could make it work in a v2 by having a large starting pop to defend fewer regions.
This is an amazing idea, and I'm only 6 months late to the article!
