 New players who have not yet made a character will be alerted during character creation about which nation is Underdog and will be offered bonuses to gold and experience gain for joining that nation. Those bonuses will be in effect until the nation loses Underdog status. All current players on the Underdog nation also receive those buffs.
-New players may freely change nations as much as they like until they reach level 70, regardless of underdog status. This can be a good way to get a feel for different nations. It is recommended to make a new character for each nation, so that way you can do 1-69 on each nation if you so wish, rather than trying to keep 1 character under level 70 long enough to check out all the nations.
+New players may freely change nations one time before they reach level 70 on any character on the account, regardless of underdog status.
 Nations marked as Underdog give fewer [[Nation Points]] to enemies, get more crowns and loot from NPCs, and gain XP buffs for taking territory from non-underdog nations.

 In this case, the Tournament will allow in 13 from each nation because it balances the match  based on the nation with the 2nd highest registration. Midlanders will have 12 people in queue, and any additional Ismirs wishing to join will also wait in queue until Sangmar reaches at least 13 players. Sangmar will be able to join the event freely as it goes on until they reach 13 members. In this way, although the Sangmar are outnumbered, they can join the event more easily than the other 2 nations.
-Non-loot sieges that spawn directly after the Valley of Death operate on a queue system, so as more individuals from each nation join the event, the parties increase in size at similar rates. Note: players who are in queue can physically travel to the location by foot or by horse and participate without waiting for the queue. This is an intended mechanic.

Players who skip the queue to run to an event are still counted among the population for that event as long as they are in the event area, so it is not possible to "evade" the counting system for the queue.
 Nations with higher populations will receive events on both [[The Map |front lines]] for non-loot sieges, further potentially splitting their forces, while smaller nations will receive one event on one front.

 Players owning 2 or more Gloria Victis accounts they are playing on the same computer may be subject to log in cooldowns if those accounts are on different nations. The length of the cooldowns depends on the behavior of the individual player. This system was put in place to reduce the amount of nation hopping between players trying to circumvent various systems, reduce spying, and reduce toxcity. A community manager is responsible for placing cooldown timers on individual players.
-When this system was added to the game, some players' were given cooldown timers by the community manager based on previous reports of rule violations.

 In Gloria Victis, many valuable resources and high level content is located along the Native Territory borders between nations. For example, the [[Holy Temples]] and various  world [[Events]] are in these conflict zones. it is much easier to complete events and quests in these areas when your nation controls the area, but it is not impossible to do the content otherwise. Each nation's native territory offers similar quests, resources, and events. Expanding your nation's borders puts pressure on opposing nations who want easier access to the resources and materials, and it provides your nation with a larger [[Territory Bonus]].
-The center of the map is not considered to be any nation's "native" territory and is dominated by guild castles. There are valuable events and resources here as well.
