After reading the rather lengthy backstory, I realized that no new players are going to spend the time to read it before they start playing. But they really should have a feel for what they're getting into before they pick their nation. So I'm proposing filling up the rather empty "Create your character" screen with short descriptions of each of the nations. Just a simple one or two line description:

Serco - Cybernetically doped up war-mongers who's sole ambition is to crush the wussy Itani.
Itani - Tree-huggers with magical mental powers who's sole ambition is to let the Secro continue to attack them.
NT - An anarchistic collection of opportunistic corporations who's sole ambition is to make a buck.

(OK, so maybe the descriptions need some work.)

I don't know what you're plan is for long-term mission advancement (e.g. joining The Order), but if there are some missions that require you to be of a certain nation, it's _essential_ that players know the nation philosophies before they create their characters. (If there will be nation-only features down the road, a heads-up in the forum before the reset would be appreciated.)
