Do you have more specific ideas than an expansionist party?

It sounds interesting, but we should think of more things than just that :P.

Alright. How about we have a landlocked country in a recently balkanised area that used to be united, but is now divided into dozens of ethnic groups, each vying for regional power.

How about we have the coast half of the Kaliningrad Oblast, recently made independent and torn between remaining with Russia or joining the west, with each political party using whatever ruthless tactic they can to enhance their agenda?

Sounds interesting, I like the ethnic divide idea, that could certainly produce some interesting politics.

Either parties that transcend politics for support of a particular ethnic group, or x separatist groups, etc. I like that.

We have a long standing NSS unspoken rule of not taking territory from real nations.

So, are we forever banished to island nations? Well, how about an island OFF the coast of the Oblast?

Well no, when NSS was in Calaverde for example, we simply jammed a bunch of land onto Costa Rica and Nicaragua, effectively dooming them to shat economies :P.

EU based nation would be pretty interesting with everything that is going on...
We could return to Aurentina except this time it is member of EU. Or alternatively maybe something like Gibraltar which votes independence because Brexit screws them over?

Again, striking a balance is key here, making a leftist paradise hastens inactivity and death.

There is certainly no such rule. This has been how we've done it, but I'm strongly opposed to the idea that this is something we have to follow.

In that case, then next iteration should go all in and take all of the territory of all existing countries and act as one world government. :p
