Maoria will be kept NPC for the while. Even the mods are not in an agreement what to do with it. I advocate deleting it, others say no.

Would be a shame to delete something with so many possibilities.
I, for one, hope it will stay.

Perhaps a popular vote could be taken in this thread to lay the issue to rest?
Give us three options:
Keep
Downsize
Remove

Im for Keep it lol

Keep, but I'm biased since I more or less put it there.

Navalism isn't a democracy.  But we can coat it with sugar.

Then just vote amongst the mods and let us know. I don't care either way, but a definitive answer would be nice.

While not a democracy, it is always good to know what the people think.
Not even wort autocracy can rule in direct opposition of the people.

As for maori: Remove, or at least reduce I think. We do not need more fantasy geography, and it would be better to make sure the countries that is already in and started get players (Ukraine, Bavaria and Turkey is the main ones i am thinking of).

Honestly i do not see much point in the place, it is really too far away from anything to make much of a counterbalance to anyone, and making maps and charts over fantasyland is time consuming.
Related, I think that anyone that have fantasy terrain relay got to make some detailed maps over it, as that was one thing that created confusion in the last war.
