Is it just me or has the usual one region that plays the role of the "Sick Man of Atlasia" now two? Indeed, I'd say every region sans the Northeast is pretty sickly, and even they don't seem as robust as I recall it before my absence from the forum.
Am I correct in recalling that towards the end of 2012 there were just a tad under 200 registrants while now we have around 160? Is that ultimately the problem?
No, there have been times when the game has been as small as 90 members and everything has functioned relatively well. Obviously, though, the continued sickliness of the regions has only one solution: their utter abolition. Especially if this bicameral crypto-Midwestern-abolition amendment passes.
