Hmm, after reading the megapost and some comments I would like to double my population numbers, especially the humanoids.

Ok, in an effort to save myself some grief again I started whipping up a spreadsheet to definitively provide myself with some data. Here's what I've found so far, according to the LGG and some of the IR rules that Serpenteye has provided:
Pre-Lemminglike population boom the total listed population of the Flanaess is 31,638,530 and post rabbit-engaged coital gymnastics it stands at 63,277,060.
The average population figure of all nations in the LGG (probably helped by the Great Kingdom's serfs) is 585,899 and that figure expands to 1,150,492 after everyone's finished knocking up every female within arm's reach.
LGG figures and the new formula make the average IC of the Flanaess 17.26, which increases to 34.51 after everyone puts their buns in the oven.
The total available IC in the Flanaess would have been 882.92 before, and now stands at 1,898.31.
All figures take into no account anything but the LGG data, and the data is missing the Scarlet Brotherhood because there's no data on the Scarlet Brotherhood concrete enough to plop into spreadsheets.

Since there appear to be IC posts made...
Edena
A weird figure aproaches the gates of Erelhei-Cinhu. She seems to be a half-elf of drow descend, incredibly beautiful in an exotic way, who is dressed in white and silver, moving with unhuman( and even un-Drow) grace. Detection spells can reveal her as a very powerful Undead. She claims to be Lanfear, Princess of The Dark Moon, and wants to speak with Eclavdra as a messanger from her father, Vampire King Gallador.
OOC: How can I hide posts? Also, my current email is kooligar@op.pl, I should update my profile.

This is an issue I will have to deal with, yes. I'm hesitant to make the secrets of Castle Maure TOO vast, because then, well - other people will beat me up and take them from me. I have an idea I think I will bring up with Serpenteye privately.

They should be doubled. I will be making rulings on all nations and territories.

Who's claimed the Knights of Luna?
Celadon Forest belongs to Bugbear, but Thomas has a strong influence in the area.
Most territories have some influence by factions or groups other than the official owner of the territory (as per the Infiltration rules). I will assign those fractions when the claims have been finalized.
Greyhawk, Ratik and Dyvers are claimable, as are the Suel-barbarians.
The Grandwood, The Lone Heath and Medegia belong to Knight Otu's Ashardalon. No longer outposts of good, but gradually and inevitable brought under control by the growing order and power of Aerdy during the last 20 years.
Almor belongs to Bugbear's Greater Nyrond.
The Lordship of the Isles and the Hold of the Sea Princes belong to the Scarlet Brotherhood.
Generally, regional alignment is a less important factor of how a nations borders look than real-politik. Small regions like the Lone Heath or Silverwood are not viable as nation-states or isolated enclaves of a far-away Empire. Their destiny is to be swallowed, not by their brothers in faith, but by their more powerful neigbours.
Since those areas still show up on our official map they are still claimable, but they will be assigned to the nearest possible nation.

Quite a few factions are a bit under the average power of the IR, and any of them are free to make additional claims, but that doesn't necessarily make them unplayable.
A lot of the Big powers of the West are still unclaimed. Lynn, The Celestial Imperium, Ishtarland, The Red Kingdom, Erypt and The Tarquish. If you guys don't play them I will...
Generally, I'd prefer if we avoided creating too many factions with widely separate main territories. And it would be possible for some of your organizations to be transplanted halfway across Oerth and be put in charge of their own great exotic Empires. But that's mostly out of concern for realism and for your ability to defend yourself. Those of you who feel very underpowered, consider it.
Some faction already have the characteristic of consisting of separated territories. Since they already have that strategic problem it's less of an inconvenience for them to take on new territoires abroad. And for nations built along racial lines it's not even unrealistic for them to do so.

Those numbers seem reasonable.

I know very little about the Kuo-Toa, most of it from Baldur's Gate II
. I do know that some hundreds of yesr ago a tribe/nation of Kuo-Toa were fighting a little war with the expanding Empire of Aerdy, but that's pretty much all. Nothing really came out of the war, as far as I know.

Actually, what the heck, I'll ask now. I'd like to claim a sizable population of succubi/incubi servitors who I used to gain dominance and rulership over the Bright Lands - as many Elite PL as Serpenteye feels would be prudent to balance my faction.
The important thing is that succubi and incubi can no longer be summoned (being cut off from the planes as we are) and so I would have a unique advantage. These demonic enforcers would be the justification for my faction being an Infiltrator faction.
And no one jump any guns yet, folks. We're still in pre-game mode here. No point in diplomacy when no one is finalized.
