The main problem with adding unlimited tags is tag spammers - regions who add literally every available tag to their region, making the search useless. We've discussed limiting tags-per-region while opening up more possibilities, but it's not high on the To Do list.
The side effects of hearing a view you disagree with can include confusion, nausea, and vomiting. Just try and listen to someone say anything politically incorrect without doing any of those things. Obviously, then, we have to consider the precious feelings of everyone we talk to. Some people don't want to be triggered, guys. It's their right as Americans.

This seems like a nice idea, too. Usually, embassy collecting regions are the ones that use all the tags. But they can pick something like anyone else, or just the fewest possible.Galiantus VII wrote:Have you considered making certain tags exclusive of one another? Technically you already have such a system in place for region size, it's just all on the server to recognize it's time to swap tags and do it automatically. Because seriously, there is no reason for a region to tag itself as both "Communist" and "Anti-Communist", "National Sovereigntist" and "International Federalist", "Democratic" and "Dictatorship", etc. even if there is a tag cap of some kind. Just pick one, darn it!

The process itself is simple. A game moderator adds tags manually.
The harder part is convincing a game moderator that adding such a tag would improve the game. We could easily add hundreds of tags because people have requested them, but at some point the tag cloud simple becomes unmanageable. That's why we've resisted adding tags that aren't directly associated with government types, gaming events or tools, and various types of roleplay.

What if you sized the tags based on the number of nations in regions with that tag, or let it at least influence the size of the tag? Obviously you wouldn't let that come into play for the tags which describe region size, but at least it would destroy any incentive for players to manipulate the tag cloud, and consequently mods wouldn't have to watch out for that.
