To go one step further on the not deleting states and adding land per turn to new people, WHAT IF: We also added land to inactive states and after the 2nd week of inactivity it pulls them out of protection and allow them to be be attacked. (at random times so people can't sit and wait for grabs at the exact moment)

This would offer grabs for new smaller states but these would be out of reach for the larger states. Granted stockers would be able to grab them but we could figure something out for that. This increases the amount of land to grab and also makes the game look more active.

Question is, if you are an active member and take a set off and your state gets grabbed even though your not playing, would you care?
