Ian,

Good stuff..!
I have an idea of which nation(s)I'd like to control, but I think the
better option would be to draw them from a hat - that way, there's a
chance that people will be forced (in the nicest way) out of
their "comfort zone".
Between one thing and another, I've had a hectic week, so I've not
had an opportunity to do anything with the information you posted -
Janine was admitted to hospital for a couple of days earlier in the
week so everything else was dropped (she's home now, and feeling a
lot better..)

hugs
Bob
