In any case, I think merging the game worlds into one, where continents are traversable by sea zones, would be a good first step towards whatever other measures are required, though I suspect it would require a massive overhaul to the code and DB.
Yes, it would. Each island has island-specific region numbers--meaning that there is a region #1 on every continent. So your brave new would would require renumbering every-single-region. And then redoing the mapping between every-single-region and their neighbors. And then adding the sea zones, ferry routes, and the routes between worlds. It would take forever.
Also, it's possible to have a "Bob" on Atamara, and a "Bob" on FEI, and a "Bob" on EC. You'd have character name collisions--which character gets to keep their name, and which has to change their name?
And then, how do you deal with the judge "deport" option? Are you going to make is to their only option is to execute banned nobles? Or are you going to keep the Colonies separate, due to the one-turn-a-day, so that everyone deports to the Colonies?
