Proposed Countries¶
The Proposed Countries page displays all community-proposed countries that have passed staff moderation and are awaiting final approval. This is where the player community votes on which proposed countries should go live.
Finding the Proposed Countries Page¶
All logged-in players can view proposed countries. Click the Proposed Countries link on the main countries page, or visit the dedicated page to see all proposals that are currently open for community voting.

Upvote Strategic Countries
Countries with strong mechanics, creative lore, and active proposers tend to be prioritized for launch. Upvote countries you'd actually play in!
How Staff Uses Community Votes¶
Staff members review the upvote tallies along with other factors to decide which proposed countries are ready to go live. Countries with:
- Strong upvote counts
- Balanced and viable mechanics
- Unique and engaging lore
- Active proposers ready to support the country
...are prioritized for final approval and launch.
Sorting and Finding Proposals¶
The proposals page displays countries sorted by upvote count (most popular first), making it easy to see which countries have the strongest community support.
Proposal Status
Only proposals that have passed staff moderation appear on this page. Proposals still awaiting moderation are not visible to the general public — proposers can only see them in their "My Proposed Countries" section on the countries list.
Next Steps¶
Once a proposed country is approved by staff and goes live:
- It appears as a playable country on the main countries list
- You can create or join a party in that country
- The proposal page is archived
- Community votes helped shape the game!
