One account, one nation. Though nothing will stop people from having multiple accounts.

Sigh, I am still against such manuvers, because spying, i feel, should be an integral part of any game where teams are involved. also, timelimit would hurt newbies, as it would keep people from switching teams in order to deal with pirates.

There is a difference between spying as a RPG character and exploiting the system to spy. IMHO, spying should be carried out by the same character in a ship that has been painted on the black market to look like the ship of another nation. Unfortunately, that option may not be available for a while.

"Though nothing will stop people from having multiple accounts. "

This won't be a problem in the final game. People will have to PAY for extra accounts.

Spying won't be a problem in the final game. The teams will look "drastically different" and there will be an advanced messaging system with different groups not just public, team or private. So this is really only a temporary problem. If it's such a big problem that the game is no fun you could stop until the message system changes or capping goes away (this could take a while months, years, days I certainly don't know).
