What is the maximum number of countries? (Fearless Blue)

What is the maximum number of coutries that can I have?

There is no maximum. However, a number smaller or equal to ten is advised, to keep government costs under control.

None is best. Saves all the heartache. :P

Lasher on FB used to run a Level 5 Empire with 19 countries in it.

I have trimmed down to 15 Level 5 countries for better management and protection.
Below 9 countries would be better for newer players as you will not have Rebel attacks on factories to deal with all the time.
These attacks start when an empire has 9 or more countries and can become great annoyances.
If I were to try to reach Level 6 or better I would have to trim down even more.

I would suggest never go above what you can protect.

To have more is more to lose.

It is 10, and attacks begin for higher numbers.

Oh sh#t I'm glad i read this thread. Rebel attacks you say? I was preparing to conduct air strikes against the country I suspected of sneak attacks.

Thats the same thing I thought when it happened to me.
