Will team nations have grouped starting locations? I'd personally prefer it that way so the more experienced can support the less experienced in an early war if necessary.

I'm open to clustered starts if there's no popular opinion against them.

My experience with clustered starts that it is by no means a guarantee you'll spawn together. In the Disciples game I played, we had clustered starts, and despite that a couple of nations were completely isolated from their team mates. They were rapidly eaten up, skewing the balance of power very... unfairly, for lack of a better word. I'd suggest placing the starts manually, if that hasn't already been thought of, even though that involves a bit of effort.

Me miserable! which way shall I fly
Infinite wrath, and infinite despair?
Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell;
And, in the lowest deep, a lower deep
Still threatening to devour me opens wide,
To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heaven.

I'm open to that, too, once we get to the point where we've picked a map and such.

I'm skeptical that we'll be ready to start playing in a week. I'm open to being proven wrong, but we have enough mucking about left to do that being ready in around a week sounds like the low end of things. So that should not be a problem.
Have the teams deliberated to the point where they have a clear vision of how they'd go about drafting nations? I mean, I know mine is still indecisive, but where do the other three stand? Are we close enough that we should fix a time (tomorrow? Wednesday? 1 January 2016?) as to when we'll start drafting?

I haven't had too much communication with my team, but i've been sleeping off the effects of a week of graveyard shifts, so hopefully we can put something together soonish.

We're working on it. We have some top picks set down but still working on the backups.

I haven't even had time to look at nations yet, so there is that.

Team 1 has a rough approximation of a draft strategy, which will no doubt fly straight out the window as soon as the draft starts, but we can at least pretend we're ready to go. How are the other teams looking?

I... have no idea, honestly. We talked for a bit but that was a while ago and I haven't heard anything since.
