US Worlds

US-3 and US-4 will be the worlds, 1 airline per player in the group.

US-3 will go from 1990-2005, 15 minutes is one day, 75 max players.

US-4 will go from 2000-2025, 20-30 minutes is one day, 150 max players.

The US worlds will work like this: You choose a state, and you can only fly out of that state as if it's the home country.

One Airport Worlds

OA-3 and OA-4 will be the worlds, 1 airline per player in the group.

OA-3 will go from 1985-2005, 15 minutes is one day, 150 max players.

OA-4 will go from 1995-2035, 20 minutes is one day, 300 max players.

The one airport worlds can only fly out of one airport, even if you open a hub in a separate airport.

These would both go in special worlds.

I like the US world idea. I've seen people play around with airlines bound to certain states before (especially Texas and California), but they usually open a hub in a major airport elsewhere when they grow too much. There's certainly more than enough demand to make this very playable and fun.

 

Here are few ideas and potential conflicts I see:

 

I know you probably just mean the literal 50 official states, but I think it would be more interesting to include the territories of the US as well.

 

So would you think including Puerto Rico, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, and the pacific protectorate states like the Marshall Islands and the Federated States of Micronesia be a valuable addition/inclusion? ... and would they be all individual states? Or would you lump Guam and NMI together? Maybe Guam plus NMI plus pacific protectorates? You could also maybe add American Samoa to Hawaii because of its super low demand?

 

Also, some states may be a bit stronger than expected due to the actual locations of some airports. For example, Cincinnati CVG is actually in Kentucky, and both Dulles IAD and Reagan DCA are in Virginia. What I mean is, these airports are generating demand for a city in a different state. Newark EWR is in the same situation. I guess one could argue that because it is operated by the New York Port Authority it could be lumped into New York as a "country" in this scenario. Because CVG is meant to serve southern Ohio it could arguably be lumped into Ohio as a "country". Then there could be the issue of making Washington D.C. a state to lump IAD and DCA into it, just to add more variety I guess.

 

Then again, you could just leave all airports in the states they are currently in, and make Puerto Rico, Guam/Northern Mariana, and American Samoa into states. This would probably be the easiest and fairest outcome. Only downside is that American Samoa would be quite difficult to operate profitably in.

I think it would also be good to pair up FS Micronesia and Marshall Islands with Hawaii because they have really low demand. Despite that I really think in regular world we should add open restrictions between F.S Micronesia, Marshall Islands, and Palau with the US because United has no fuss operating routes between the US and I think it would be more realistic.
