The RPM will observe the claim and block the application if it it not conducive to the following standards:

• Realism and it's definition, everything that is and has been, as far as nation-building
  
• No superpowers, a nation cannot be massive and all-powerful at everything, for example like the US, China or Russia.
  
• All other established standards of realism in the rules.
