If you got a player from a micronation with no managers that would be a bonus. Easier to get him on the NT.

I might be wrong but don't you get more money in merch if your NT player is on a good NT.

It is important yes, as well as his real salary. So, sure, you can have a 50k player in a micro NT, but it will not bring the same merchandising as a 180k in a big NT.

I think you give a lop sided view there. I would say you get more for a 50k player in a micro NT than a 50k player from a large nation who clearly couldn't be an NT player.

Unless I'm very mistaken you'd get the same merchandising for a 180k NT wherever he was from.

Its more relevant to the conversation ongoing that we talk about the higher salaries, since they'd be more difficult for the made up country's players than for real world countries, since there's no NT for the made up country.

So is there any chance to see something happen?

New and so far unseen nationalities would be cray cray (although a bit unfair as those players might make some top dollar just for their rarity).

I'd love to see existing nationalities enrich their player pool through Utopia, might even be a blessing for micro NTs. Let them play for their homecountry and treat them like domestic (utopian) players for merchandise.

It's true. Although I wouldn't say you get a lot of merchandising for a 50k NT player who is not from your nation. Since, currently, you would possibly have to pay more for him (novelty of micronations players, especially if already NT player), the profit is marginal.

You were the one who mentioned 50k players. Not me.

Some people believe Utopia is a money making diversion that not only diminishes the "real" BB but actively interferes with it. For those people, any enhancement of Utopia is a step in the wrong direction, further taking away from and diminishing the "real" BB.

I am not sure where i posted this but i repost my idea from the discussions while utopia was in planning.

Each draft of 48 players consists of player of diffrent nationalities.
One player for each team got a nationality from the nation of the main team.
One player for each team got a nationality from another main team in said league.
One player for each team got a total random nationality.
(in which round a team recives which player is random)

This means the nationalities of the players are not fixed before but calculated after distributing the players.

Another option would be, that you can also scout the nationality of the players.
(with same distribution: 32 players from the 16 main-teams nations and 16 totally random nationalities)

Advantage:
You can fill small NTs with new players even if there are not as many mangers.
Cool thing to have different nationalities on your team with homegrown bonus.
