That's a brilliant idea, we should only allow proposals to be submitted by those who come in the top 100 for best nation, as otherwise it's a waste of WA time to vote on a proposal from an unworthy author.

If you have no number, it means you have yet to be voted on yet. With so many nations and the glut of puppets, it could take time (or never happen at all).

Yea kind of a bummer... Seems like if your nation got an upvote earlier on it is likely to remain in the top and receive more chances for votes, while if your nation was rate down once, or never rated you're unlikely to ever make the top 30k.

Great, so with the ridiculous number of puppets it could take forever until I even get a ranking in this silly event. This doesn't feel nearly as fun as previous April Fools events to me.

So early success by chance compounds on itself until we have an elite class that is nearly impossible to break into and the same few nations vie for the top spot.

Goodness, these April jokes always seem to turn into dark recreations on the dangers of unregulated capitalism.

Hopefully after 8 hours, any nation that has no "Best" votes is removed from the pot.

every 4 hours after that they should make more cuts so that by the end its just comparing the nations folks have actually upvoted

The problem with this is that with so many nations and so many puppets, it will come down to luck on whether a nation has been shown to anyone at all.

I do wish there had been a way to weed out inactive or puppet nations. The game might have been less uninteresting.

The amount of puppets scattered about is* just- absurd. The few nations that get lucky enough to be seen are the only ones to get votes and get on the leaderboards... kind of disappointing, if you ask me.

There aren't actually *that* many nations. I've seen a number of nations multiple times already. I'm sure most nations will have appeared at least once on someones screen by now.
