Rankings are updated at semi-regular intervals, we don't usually change the ranking of individual countries. At the moment, we hope to have a new update in a couple of weeks. For Narikaton and Darnussia to be considered for an upgrade, it would need to have evidence of being role-played as such in line with your "assessment criteria".

No comments on the new rankings. I think they are balanced enough.

Would just like to request moderation to be more pro-active with updating the voluntary rankings. The original intend for the dynamic system was more frequent and "dynamic" changes. I would suggest having that be reflected in the future.

The objective of Moderation is to update the rankings around every three months. In this case we wanted to allow a little time after the Rapa Pile conflict to let the international landscape settle before making changes. Moderation has no intention at present of increasing the frequency of the dynamic rankings, we don't think the game is active enough to warrant this and the process consumes considerable portions of our time. If players feel strongly that the rankings should be more frequent then we can consider changing this in future, I'd suggest discussing this in the thread that deals more generally with the rankings.

Istapali had been almost completely inactive for several years before you arrived in the country. The decision to downgrade it was not a reflection of the country's military power deteriorating but more that we felt it was too highly ranked to begin with.

If you compare it to other countries in the "average power" category, most have at least some recent history of notable military and political influence whereas Istapali does not. Lots of countries were in a similar position and dropped down a category in this update and that was partly due to the introduction of the new "limited power".
