Fundamentally people hated at the time but it could work . Basically you’d split Atlasia up into 4-5 nations that each govern itself domestically and could conduct player to player foreign policy . Of course they would have to be uniform rules as well :
- Basic requirements to hold elections in the regions
- no war on Atlasian territory but to nations in Atlasia could go to war with each abroad
- uniform registration rules
- no loss of voting rights in a region without a conviction too
You actually would revitalize the game and see actual foreign policy skill of players too
Somewhat related I wish more Atlasia players would learn and play Diplomacy. It's a great FP simulation that requires a little bit of practice early on (and time and level of interest/dedication - but that's expected for all this stuff) but it involves far more political strategy than what Atlasia normally has, which is more personality-based.
