Give it time. This summer would certainly be better.

The admins should take people's neat plans and screw it up with a new sinker. When everything is all settled like now is the perfect time for this. Political Gameplay should be uncomfortable.

I also find it odd that some are opposing this. If you don't want to be involved nobody is asking you to be. Your current regions will still be there.
Edit: For the record, I don't actually suggest creation of that many GCRs but I reject the idea that the existing GCRs have to be too full in order to create some new opportunities for fun and activity in this game. The game has frankly been lagging lately and there's nothing wrong with admins stepping in and doing something to generate activity.

This is actually a compelling argument for creating more GCRs, particularly more Feeders but it wouldn't hurt to have another Sinker. It shouldn't be easy to take over a GCR but it also shouldn't be impossible, and in most Feeders we've gotten to that point due to their Delegates' endo counts. Diluting the endo pool a bit and giving each GCR Delegate fewer endos, by creating more GCRs and spreading out those endos, would be a great way to stop GCRs from being impenetrable fortresses.

Actually, that is not too bad of an argument with making the feeders more dynamic. But would it thin out the already (in some cases) thin GCR's?

I don't think one more Sinker would necessarily dilute the other Sinkers too much. But yes, I do also support the creation of 2-3 new Feeders in order to make them more dynamic.
Another option would be the suggestion someone else made earlier in this thread when they suggested making the new Sinker a Feeder-Sinker hybrid, that receives both new and refounded nations. Rather than doing this with just the new Sinker, admins could do this with all the Sinkers, which would prevent them becoming too diluted while also diluting the Feeder endo pool a bit. If they then also created another Feeder, that should bring endo counts to a level, in my view, that would make it possible but not easy to take over a GCR.
So basically my suggestion is this: Make all the Sinkers hybrid regions that receive both new and refounded nations, create a new Sinker and a new Feeder.
