I'm genuinely grateful for the gesture - but don't you think they ought to be Orthodox crosses?
Try the following, which ought to be large enough for playing around with:

So there will be no new KBB ranking after the qualifiers?

I'll assume my personal bias over the issue is obvious.

It's up to you whether or not you want to sacrifice your main nation in order to allow The Holy Empire to defend its title. Otherwise, I don't think it would be fair (true, they are defending champions, but they are puppets nonetheless). I'll defer to Dancougar though, in case his opines otherwise.

I believe they were originally allowed in an attempt to boost numbers in the face of sagging participation, which has been a less serious problem - if at all - in recent cups.
Mac's response is more or less what I was going to say. We could add a provision stating that nations who have their puppets dropped may opt to replace their main nation with the dropped puppet, but as one of the themes of this bid is increasing individual participation in the World Cup, there are no plans to differentiate between puppets.

If the latter, I don't mind doing it (in the new international friendlies thread, even... although, technically it wouldn't be a friendly). In any case, before we start to automatically drop puppets in reverse order, we will of course ask for volunteers to drop their puppets first..
