As a result, a tie-breaker round of voting was held from Monday, March 12th to Friday, March 16th. Participants could only vote twice, could only vote for Atlantis, Aztecs, Kingdom of Jerusalem, Mongol Empire, or Vietnam. There was a three-way tie for second place, but rather than hold another tie-breaker, we decided to simply accept four countries in Round 1.
