Thanks for the feedback.
Problem with not doing random is people will likely think and/or complain "why did this person get chosen over me". Would it be better if people listed the countries they would be willing to do, and then choose randomly from those per nation?
I'm not turning away from some kind of random element. I want no perceived element of favouritism on my part (which doesn't exist as I despise all of you equally of course) and I want people to be objective enough to form descriptive opinions on other nations rather than one they already support/follow. I thought more people would be up for investigating and finding out more about other teams but perhaps that's just me..
Like I said, if this gets too convoluted I'll just do them all myself.
