Actually. This thread also proves that communities can grow if their managers work for it.
I remember when Stefan's community was so small that his NT was bot and league prizes were low. Stefan asked for better conditions and he were requested to bring more people to the game. Stegan did it, Maltese league grew, now they have promotions and relegations, same prizes than bigger countries and a NT participating in a World Cup, so as i said earlier, congratulations for Stefan and the whole maltese community, they are the proof that communities can grow, if their members do something different than just complain.
Fair enough, but Malta is not
that small of a nation. It may be small small in size, but it has a fairly large population (~420K) for its size, more than Iceland, Belize, or Andorra.
IMHO GKO should take the national population of micro nations into consideration for determining the threshold for awarding a NT manager.
I don't think that GKO should require more than 1% of 1% (1 per 1000) of a nation's population to play GKO in order to get a NT manager position! If that level was required of larger nations, only Thailand would have a NT manager, I think! Only nations with populations greater than 500K should have to meet the 50 user minimum imho.
Using this threshold, to get a NT manager:
Malta would need 42 users
Iceland would need 33 users
Samoa would need 19 users
Grenada would need 10 users
Bermuda would need 7 users
Cayman Islands would need 6 usersThe 8 GKO nations with less than 50K population would require 5 legitimate users to keep these nations from being "bought". This includes Faroe Islands, Liechtenstein, San Marino, Turks and Caicos Islands, British Virgin Islands, Cook Islands, Anguilla, and Montserrat.
