Yeah there is no land to "acquire" that isn't already important to somebody, and there is no nation you can create without coming into conflict with existing nations or tribes. Terra nullius doesn't exist!

It's interesting to me that they're named after four thieves. Not sure if it's a deliberate joke or just another manifestation of the anarchist herbalism tendency that seems to have developed in the last 20 or 30 years.
