Also, as the game progresses, perhaps counties hat have been completely encircled by one player should be given to that player automatically as no one else could possibly get them?
That would entirely change the pace and aim of the game though, and make it unfair to those who haven't really been as focused on encircling, or went ahead and filled theirs in as the Florida player did. Moves should still be expended to collect them as long as there are counties to claim.
