A few weeks ago we presented criteria for the anticipated re-evaluation of NomadMania regions. Today, we present the optimal scores for regions per country based on the criteria and their weightings decided by the NomadMania Executive Committee.
The updated Optimal Number of Regions by Country comparing to the current NomadMania division is the following:

The first total score represents the general total of these elements: however, this is not out of 1301, which is the number of regions that NomadMania has, so we need to recalculate this out of 1301 – and this is the OPT column, coloured in blue, which gives us the ‘ideal’ number of regions for each country based on each of the criteria and their relative weightings.
The NM column shows the current number of NomadMania regions – after taking away territories which are considered ‘essential’ – and the last column therefore indicates the difference of how many more regions there are now in NomadMania compared to the optimal.
What Does It Mean?
This does not mean that countries with a positive difference necessarily warrant new regions, as in very many cases the results are inconclusive.
What it does, however, mean is that for the countries listed below, we do have a conclusive result – no new regions.
.
* Syria will be considered as a special ‘sui generis’ case vote, where the community will be asked to decide whether the Eastern ‘Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria’ region, currently controlled by the Kurdish forces, should become a distinct NomadMania region.
.
* Countries whose territory score is marked in red are those affected by our rule of reducing territory by 25% when a country has more than 30% desert. This rule will also be put to a community vote as we attempt to open up decision-making to all of you. Also note that the decimals for countries which here appear as 0 territory are absolutely calculated and available in the full-screen version.
Conclusions
Russia is by far the most generously divided country, with a number of NomadMania regions more than double those suggested by the optimal. The United States, Argentina, Brazil and Kazakhstan are then revealed to be the next most generously divided countries, with a number considerably exceeding the optimal. As we go down the list, we reach a point where the difference is 0 – meaning an ideal division in the cases of Tunisia, Samoa and Oman.
From this point on, things become less clear – and this is where we will open it up to the community to decide, in cases which are in the ‘grey’ area as well as where the optimal may suggest more regions but it would be entirely unreasonable to follow this – think Nauru!
Final observation: we are humans and it may well be that a mistake has been made or perhaps a source of data could be mistaken, or a more recent figure is available for a criterion. If you feel that the data above is not correct, please contact us so we can review it together.
