A couple of points

1. If you type in the search bar "List of countries in the World" England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland do not appear in the list! Give you 3 guesses what does!!

2.Of the top 80 countries in order of size, the United Kingdom appears at number 80 with 13 Asian countries above it!

I was just explaining his point.

About the suggestion: some time in the past I have suggested a "Rest of the World" NT which seems to be more practicable and logical to do. But all the same points were vented and obviously nothing changed. The most difficult part of this idea is how to vote for this NT coach.

By the way... Why some NT could not be excluded? Some communities have fewer teams now than in the time the NT was created... I think it is a better idea in terms of GI WC.

So what is the exact number of teams a country needs to have in order to get their own national team? like a few comments earlier they said 6... then we should get a national team because right now there are 7 Chinese teams

I think if you have at least 10 active teams, then the admins will consider it. Get some friends to join and give it some time to make sure they are here for a bit and then send the admins a request

The original numbers was 15 teams. It has never been a solid rule. I'm pretty sure NZ got in with 4 teams. But they were all long established teams of 3+ years of play.

I think the idea of a nation "rest of the world" is very good, everyone who participates in GI, likes the idea of participating in a World Cup, and it is unfair that someone can not, because they are few in their country , and a little selfish to my understanding to deny him the possibility,

I also find it ridiculous that some regions have hundreds of teams and in regions such as Asia or Africa do not reach 10, clearly would have to reorganize the regions, joining the two or three with fewer teams, to make it more competitive and therefore fun for all.

Japan, Korea, China, India, Kuwait, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines and Iran, all uniting together to play American football.

Even John Lennon couldn't have imagined that one.

I don't know how Bosnia ended up with a NT but just by looking through the Highest Earners tab for Asia, a Chinese NT would have far more players to pick from right now than Bosnia does.
