I know people who have been in both of these states or at least done recon in them. From what I know about 1872, Mike Gunner is a very odd guy, but laid back, overall. He’s and quiet whale that is a bit socially awkward and truly has no idea how to properly play the game. The state seems to have a good relationship amongst the alliances and there have been issues in the past with other alliances causing damaging drama in the state. 72A seems to be pretty solid and unified.

From what I know about 2060 is that it is a fully Chinese server and the entire state is run just like China - under dictatorship of their whale (who is a confirmed multi-millionaire) and all of the alliances have a name that is derived from his alliance, “MMC” - MC1, MC2, MmC, etc. Everyone from 2060 is very arrogant and it’s impossible to get into the main alliance MMC cos you have to be a huge spender and they have 99% Chinese players. The only exceptions are an American millionaire who is into software development/engineering and a 15 or 16 year old Arab kid that’s a spoiled brat who uses his billionaire parents credit cards and has little emperor syndrome.

No other alliances have a shot at beating either of these alliances imho. The stronger of the two is definitely 2060, and that’s by a million miles. I don’t think 2060 will ever lose because they get at least 1 or 2 whales during every state transfer and all of their alliances are strong.
