This has been suggested by others. I believe N:TW would be a much better game if it allows for the creation of states. This could include new nations or the resurgence of old displaced states: the Batavian Republic, the Confederation of the Rhine, the Grand Duchy of Warsaw are all simple examples of this model. Such nations would be the protectorates of creating power. It would make for more historicity and a deeper stragetic environment.
CA Powers, please give this consideration.
So let it be written, so let it be done.
