well, i've distributed more countries out... so we now UK, France, Russia, Japan, and Prussia filled. Looks like your left with Austria or OE Strategist.
Presumably no one will have a problem with the country distribution. if you do, now is the time. we have 6 people now technically, but due to the mix of NA, Euro, and Aussie players we now have, my connection best not take any more people on. I doubt we'll get any consensus on a starting time in the near future, from what i see. We've not even discussed any sort of rules and stuff yet either, which are likely to be difficult to agree upon as well.
So, it'd be more than helpful i think, if each player now in, would make 1 post, in which they would confirm if their assigned country is to their liking, state if they have any problems with the other current players, suggest a start time (if you could all provide a time in my MST as well (2 hours earlier than EST), that would be appreciated), and give their suggestions as to what rules/guidelines they feel are most important to the game.
i'll wait till everyone has posted, before i post anything further.

edit: thanks to clamp, for actually covering everything i asked. the rest of you that have posted, have failed at this task thus far. for example: Strategist, if you don't post a time or range of times, we can't very well work out the time differences now can we? then we won't have everyone in that case...
