I was still playing yesterday evening, but now my express country is no longer there. The country number it had was #162 and it had about 650000 net worth. Could it be returned somehow or is there some kind of explanation? Please help me!

New reset has started. Express resets are 5 days long, and resets every Sunday night followed by a 2 day break.

Oh... so what does it practically mean? Do I have to create a new country or will it return automatically and will I lose all the progress I have made?

I just started playing yesterday and I don't know much of these things.

hello Nena. As Xinhuan said, the express server only lasts for 5 days.

everyone that chooses to play in the next round, start back at turn one every wednesday.

If you want to play a server that is a bit slower, meaning more time than 5 days to develop your country, then may I suggest Primary for solo play, Alliance for clan based play, or even Free For All where you are allowed to play up to 16 countries at once.

If I want to play in the next round, will I wait until wednesday or make a country now?

And I have to start from the beggining after every round?

you can make a new country now, but you wont be allowed to play until wednesday.

and, yes. it makes it so everyone can start on an equal footing. but like I said, we do have some servers that last for 2 months, where turns are issued at a slower rate.

...and where you can be killed just as quickly.

Nena didn't die, the round simply ended.
