Well I was for one.  The country that is now Nowapan started out
as a small country to which I just kept adding neighbors.  This was
3 years before Nova was officially born.  To this day I appreciate
a country that is shaped nicely.  I don't like the shape of India
for instance but I find the shape of Brazil very attractive.
