The Lost and the Damned
It has often been said that all nations are created equal. Yet sometimes one finds their harmonious society disrupted by a nation that is undeniably less equal than its peers. In such circumstances one can grin and bear it, hoping that with time, and a generous dosage of patience, this nation will become a productive member of international society. But if that proves impossible, it may yet be better to remove the proverbial grit from the oyster, and unceremoniously boot the nation from your region.
Previously, nations ejected from a region have been forcibly relocated to the Rejected Realms, a shining beacon of civility and land of second chances. They are now joined in this role by the Plains of Perdition, a land of eternal torment, and the Outback, possibly the worst place in the world, although they serve a mean kangaroo steak.
With the addition of these fellow "Sinker" regions, the Rejected Realms has been given a glow-up and along with its fellow Sinkers is now finally able to eject and ban nations. Of course, this opens the possibility of an incorrigible miscreant finding themselves forcibly relocated from region to region in an endless circle of torment. Truly, these are the lands of the lost and the damned.
