I'll just make the thread now. In truth, I don't really know when this will get started...kinda depends what the participants want. At any rate, I might as well post the country assignments and stuff like that so that when we do start, we'll be ready to go.
Just saying, Lala is taking a month-long break from PC soon, so he's dropping out unless the game is delayed (might as well, with a few of us also being busy).
