Tokyo does not count. LOL
Canada has more inhabitants that the average European country. It seems overvalued like hell, but meh...

While I do really like the map, I'm kind of bummed about the USA downgrade and the map could really use country bonuses for easy scenario creation, similar to my Europe map.

I may add them in when I do an update. It's honestly not too bad, but They would be kind of useful.

I think it was a fair update to remove most of the US territories. The US is still the most powerful country even after having around half of it's territories removed, it's just that it now only has around 100 more income than china compared to around 300 more before.

I think Canada in particular should have a bit more division in territories . It seems much weaker than it.

Ha ha, it was the most overepresented country here, and it was in 2012. It's a well-developed, resourceful country, but noone lives there.

Java has about 5 times the population about Canada: Java gets 3 territories, Canada gets 20.

Anyhow, here is a rough list of overpowered/underpowered countries now (income).

Overpowered:
Canada (+++++)
Spain (++)
Mzansi (++)
America (+)
Russia (+)
France (+)
Turkey (+)
Iran (+)
Thailand (+)

Underpowered:
Nigeria (----)
Vietnam (---)
Hanguk (---)
Germany (--)
Tagalog (--)
Argentina (--)
India (-)
Pakistan (-)

Ok:
*China
*Brazil
*Japan
*Mexico
*Britain
*Indonesia
*Italy
*Egypt

For greater realism i most of the time use GDP (PPP). That way China and the US are on par (in reality, an all-out war would be unimaginable, considering key war industries: China produces more steel than the rest of the globe combined)

I already gave the US a major nerf once, originally it had something like 3 times as many territories as it does now (Here's an older version of the map: https://www.warlight.net/Play?PreviewMap=53200).

I've been thinking about doing an update and just cutting every bonus value in half. That could solve the problem with incomes between poor and rich countries being so drastic.

and the map could really use country bonuses for easy scenario creation

+1. Takes a long time to distribute China/Russia/USA.

I hate to nitpick but why is Roanoke the name of the bonus for western NC when it is actually farther east than Raleigh?

No, that's far from the whole tale. Besides sources never being sure on that, most sources will say something like Russia and Italy having the same power...no, obviously Russia is way more powerful than Italy.

Well, it's helped balance things, but it's not a big enough nerf.

What are your sources? I always see Russia way ahead of Italy( and often with bigger numbers than Germany).

Someone did bring this to my attention, and if you check the bonus name, I actually did change it to Charlotte, I just forgot to rename the territory. This issue was originally introduced because I'm retarded and can't tell the difference between virginia and north carolina (There actually is a city in western virgnia named roanoke).

Ah, I think that was nominal GHP. But still, according to the IMF, Russia is about 30% stronger than Italy, and less powerful than Germany...then there's Indonesia being more powerful than Britain...and Choson being about as powerful as Bosna.

I think the CIA world fact-book is a better source than the world bank. ;)

Why?

It's run by the CIA, do you realise this? An organisation filled with evils and lying as part of their mission purpose, even. Also, IMF is not the same as World Bank.
