when it comes to other places . . .
like i said, i only have the energy to give background, more history, some stats, etc about a few places. but i think it would be fair to discuss the world at large in a very general sense. only democracy is au india, more monarchies and dictatorships, fewer countries in general, etc.
i think the justification for more countries combining is that, with such big empires dominating the world, it's simply not "safe" to be a small country. even if you don't like your neighbors and there is a ton of in-fighting within the au country, they probably hate the idea of getting sucked into the british or prussian empire more than they hate each other? so more like . . . trying to be big enough that these other places have to at least think twice before trying to take them over. otherwise they'd just get bulldozed for being so little.
then we maybe list a few combos to help us out with the idea that we can determine others as needed. for example, i would guess there's some kind of scandinavian alliance. we wouldn't need to go into detail that covers the entire planet. but you know, just some basics maybe!
