You know the drill:

>Nation name
>Starting location
>Color

Rules, you better read them, they're somewhat different that before:

All water routes are accessible whether or not you control the entire country
1 alliance, 1, 3 turn peace treaty (entire game)
+2 Bonus for defeating another nation, +1 for you and your ally if you have one, No bonus for anyone if a nation is defeated by 2 non-allied nations unless you conquered 8/10
When making alliances/treaties, reply to the person you're making an alliance/treaty with and also OP
If you or you and an ally own 8/10 of countries you both win
Allies can't be discarded but if they fall you can get another ally
You can secede land to allies if you want to quit

Sorry If I make any mistakes, I've never hosted before
