The Atterton Monarchy had one less designer,  so they'd be best.

Suggestion:
Prohibit any kind of counter-espionage actions.

Reasoning:
It will disrupt the game because it is a metagaming magnet. Even if most players will not metagame it will create distrust when counter-espionage will be voted just in time or when counter-espionaging nation will be avoided.

War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.

I might join on turn 2. Waiting a turn because, honestly, this seems so cumbersome that it will implode or cut enough corners to roll away.
But if it doesn't, I'll be there picking a nation next turn!

I understand and will agree to this.

To all engineers, keep discussing the focus actions you want to take.  I'm going to lock in what is most popular in six hours, so work on the full turn can be done.

As another suggestion, the results of the focus, spy and production actions are either perfectly predictable or do not affect the following choices. As such, those 3 actions can technically all take place at the same time.

I've looked over the advantages and disadvantages of changing over the system and from what I wound up with, I saw it was better to keep them separate than to combine them.

Lesser difficulty in attempting to determine what the agreed upon action of a specific type is, more focused conversation to make sure nothing is left out by accident, ability to enforce a time limit on each phase to keep things moving, much more orderly in the late game.



By the way, Kashyyk made a map with the current land holdings:



The areas between Ft. Alton and Ft. Combe, and Bradford and Newton represent independent nations that will be rolled over if an attack is made along those routes.

I think you'll find King Richards has the rightful claim to the land. Long live the king!

Speaking of lowest intelligence, that reminds me of the fact that it's probably your first time in prison. Don't worry, I can give you some tips, having spent some time in a few myself. The best way to make friends here is to drop the soap during shower time. Try it, I'm sure you'll love making friends like that!
