I am making a map of the world in 1914 it looks something like the following:

I am NOT splitting countries in 2, UNLESS there is a natural barrier that completely seperates the countries. I was thinking of continents, but that may be too little. I will include bonuses for empires, but if they are spread across the world it may be too hard to get any bonuses. I think i may do that and continents. Please look at the map and I will include islands (one territory per chain).

Why aren't you going to split any countries? Russia **is** rather large.

India, china, canada, USA, russia and Austrailia are the ones i would see difficulty in leaving it as is

Yeah, and some of the countries on that map are tiny

Perhaps you should divide the colonies in Africa into their administrative regions.

French West Africa- French Dahomey, French Central Africa, Senegal, Mali, Togoland, Cote d'Ivoire, Algeria...

British South Africa- South Africa, Rhodesia
British East Africa- Kenya, Tanganyika, Sudan

@Ace Windu
Russia will be split in two for europe. It isnt gonna be a 6v6 map. I am editing the map and enlarging the islands, small countries, etc.

@i-like-swords
I was planning to do that, there were some areas that i wanted to split

make some big countries whole bonuses
india
usa
canada
russia
big countries in africa
e.t.c

the problem with making a map with 1 territ per country are obvious.. in a strategic sense.. why would it quicker to go across Asia then Europe.. if an invading army invades, it would take forever to get across Russia or the US, \*thus the necessities of multiple territories* longer to go across these area's then going across the better part of Europe \*hence the reason Europe, despite being more countries, has less territories*

Yeah I got it I will split countries in two if they are bigger than mexico or a major world power at the time.
