It's a real pity that it cannot be nominated. The rule that stops it from being nominated should be revised.
i would just find it satisfying to enter all the years lol
For countries that declare independence in the same year, they appear to be in alphabetical order which is a bit odd. Wouldn't going off the date of independence be better? When I noticed the USSR was collapsing, I tried typing them in the order they declared independence and was quite confused when things weren't working.
I personally disagree with ordering by exact date. The alphabetical order by year is very helpful when it comes to working things out if you're not good at remembering exact dates (like me).
