Well the only changes were the newly created state in central India and Russian intervention in Crimea.

Actually, Crimea has been here since 2012, able to be bit of Russia. Boko Haram is tiny and Yemen is insignificant, but still divided into 3 territories anyway.

My point still stands. Because this map aims to show all the world's nations (hence the title), and because the definition of nation is slippery, the map is going to need frequent changes to account for things like ISIL and other civil wars like the one in Libya.

If I really wanted to nitpick, the map currently called "World Nations" should be a map of ethnicities that think of themselves as a nation or deserving of one (Catalonia, Palestine, Brittany), and this map should be renamed to "World States" (not as catchy though).

Yes please, a new map with more territories would be what I need (there are larger maps, but not with territory-bonuses)

And I wouldn't considere merging, but making many more territories.

Yemen is not three territories in 2014, it's 2.

Socotra is not it's own territory in 2014? It is in 2012.

...Oh wait, I keep forgetting Socotra. Dammit.

Indeed 3, but then again Socotra is mostly there for intercontinental battling. I like that. Not much of a reason to merge back Yemen as split it's just way better for making scenarios where the British Empire appears.

African territories are too big, by the way.

Scotland should be at least 4 territories, while England should be merged, and Wales made into 2 territories.

Ha, are you sincere, Ox?

Why would merging Indonesia? It would be super ugly.

Agreed.

Lybia could be reworked into Cyrenaica, Tripolitania and Fezzan. It makes more sense historically and would help making scenarios in it much smoother. I mean, these roman empire/ottoman empire/any other empires that took only mediterranean parts of modern day lybia scenarios would look way better.

Also Egypt. It could have 4 territories: Cairo, Alexandria on the mediterranean, El Mynia as it 's desert region and Sinai in, well, sinai.

Most Africa is too many territories; the only ones that could perhaps use some more splits is Nilic Egypt and south Nigeria. Libya needs to be merged into one.

The other way around, juq. Lybia needs a split. With a nerf. But a split anyway. It's too hard to make a roman empire look remotely good with lybia as-is.

Well, i want a complex diplo map.

You said that it would make empires look better. I don't really think so, but save that for World Nations 0001.

It's the only world map we have for custom scenarios that is one territory one bonus, so it has to fit some historical empires too imo.

There are several maps with one territory one bonus and some are of the world. Also, Belgian Gentleman is working on a super massive diplomacy world map which probably makes most of this thread pointless. Somaliland, Artsakh and ISIS are not recognized with the only one being a little recognized is Artsakh with 3 non-UN countries recognizing it. You may as well call Catalonia and Scotland independent even though they are clearly not.

Heh, no I wasn't sincere at all... there are so many improvements that this map needs, and there is no way that it is going to please everybody. Really, what people should be using is Belgian Gentlemen's map when it gets released.

It won't stay this way!!!
