While initially waiting for my nation to start, as I said I must have made a mistake the first time, I started getting disenchanted when I realised I couldn't conquer other countries. Now I have my own country I am sort of anxious to see how it works.

One thing that occurred to me was if there were other nations near me. Turns out there are 3 other nations in Tasmania I could find. One is a little green one in the nearby national park. My first target I think. One is up north and not really a problem for the time being, but there is a large established nation encompassing the entire island. I suppose I'll keep quiet. He won't even know I exist untill I grow so large I can defeat him. I'm not too happy with having my nation inside his though. The following won't make much sense to anyone who isn't Tasmanian but his capital is in Queenstown. Queenstown! I'm not taking orders from someone who can't even grow decent vegetation. His environament rating must be 0 since excessive mining killed off everything.
