My memory's a little hazy, so forgive me if I'm making all of this up.
In days of yore, long ago, I seem to remember there being the option of not being in a region and just be a rogue or independent nation. I'd like to know, please:
1) If this was the case, and I haven't just made it up
and
2) If this was the case, is it still possible now? (As far as I can tell, I can't see a 'leave region' option anywhere, just the option to join a new region.; then again, I'm probably just being stupid)
Thanks.
