i like sword this is the uk argument for there are loads of countries in Europe claiming their are a country let loki use the map he is using

I agree with Iranheart, for example Abkhazia, Nagorno-Karabakh, Transnistria, South Ossetia...

About the bonuses:
There is 4 type of countries,
1) Dwarf countries, 0 - 100 000 residents
2) Small countries, 100k - 5 milions
3) Middle size countries, 5 mil.- 30 mil.
4) Big countries, more then 30 mil.

B-sum of bonuses
Nt-number of territories
C- centrality of bonus.
Nb- national bonus
Sb-sub bonuses
Capital city bonus is not included in this calculation.

For 1) is 1 army per turn. Maybe it should be 2,3, 4 or even 5??? Please vote for any of this.
2) Small countries is not absolutely based on population number - you notice that for Iceland or Slovenia... I have add for 2 mil. countries one more point. Reason for this is that countries doesn't have sub bonuses.
B=Nt+x*Nt (x=0,15-0,5, it depends on C), here B is actually Nb.

3) Nt=2*Nb (+-1 or 2, depends on C)
B=Nb+Sb (Value of Sb depends of Nt and C)

4) Nt=2*Nb-(0,15*2*Nb), /+-1-2, depends of C/, Nt is as you can see, smaller for big countries and they will have the biggest B.
B=Nb+Sb (Sb depends of Nt and C)
Big countries is hard to conquer and more harder to keep it so it will have biggest B/Nt.

B/Nt: 4>3>=<2>1 in case that 1) have 1 point
We see here that 3 and 2 countries can be equal, small countries may be more valued and inversely. It all depends on C.

For dwarf countries, please keep their bonus as 1. Reason: if you don't, manual distribution will break; people will only select the dwarf countries (al of which are just a single territory) to get a, relatively speaking, huge income boost for the first turn.
Also, it would be weird if dwarf countries are worth more than small countries...

loki don't foget to add Malta the island country one that is most of the time forgotten

pls don't forget to add the isle of man to this map it is not a country on its own but it will be a good strategical point as part of the uk/england

Missing connections: the northernmost territory of Austria with Trnava.
Kosovski Okrug with North Montenegro and North Albania

<trolling>
Add Sealand, it could be great strategic point between UK and Netherlands/Belgium/France!
</trolling>

I'm in favor of adding Malta.

pls add malta

and one of venito's areas is called ? for some reason

I mean veneto's areas

Of course I will add Malta.
"Add Sealand, it could be great strategic point between UK and Netherlands/Belgium/France!"
I have never hear for Sealand before until now. Thx, great idea!

One territory is called "?" in reason that is actually a "Venice"

On the other hand i have used this map for drawing Italy:
http://www.geographicguide.com/europe-maps/italy.htm
There is one more territory east from Treviso as you can see. I was thinking that should be called "Favaro Veneto".

I will add two more territories in The Netherlands, then i will change bonus in 16. Flevoland will be split in two parts and there will be Texel island as territory.

i researched sealand i have many reasons for loki not to add it
1.it is too small to add
It is only recognised by 2 countries and this is a map of recognised eropean countries
it is not on loki's map either so no point adding it

Loki, if you add Sealand,you should definitely add Malta too, it is much bigger and can be a strategic point between Italy and Africa.

Haha, he pointed out in his post about Sealand that he was trolling! Lighten up!

@LOKI:
If you split Flevoland in (what would be to me) the most logical manner, ie. dividing it in the lower-left two-thirds and upper-right one-third, then the best names for the new territories would probably be "Flevoland" (for the lower-left part) and "Noordoostpolder" (upper-right). I know it's a little weird for a part of Flevoland to also be called Flevoland, but that's really how it works.

Entirely irrelevant background story:
It could be because the Noordoostpolder was reclaimed first (early 1940s) and the other parts "much later" (late 1950s, late 1960s). Originally, the Noordoostpolder was part of Overijssel. Only after the rest of Flevoland had been reclaimed we created a twelfth province, which the Noordoostpolder then also became a part of.

@TexasJohn, Moros
Yeah, I was trolling the "add X" posts :D
