The Curse of Ra

The Curse of Ra is a noted phenomenon where those who claim Egypt end up becoming inactive players soon after claiming the land. The phenomenon, first occurring back in season one, has an unknown cause, although a theoretical reason could be the fact that Egypt is enticing enough to be inviting to new players, but not interesting enough to keep a player invested in playing there.
This phenomenon in particular applies to the two main Egyptian nations of IMMC: Riko's Egypt of Season 1, and Keme of Season 3, however the theory falls flat when Atlantis is brought into the picture, as Atlantis was very much an active nation. This discrepancy, however, can be explained by the fact that Atlantis never considered Egypt it's homeland, and was also not around long enough to fall into inactivity,
