• All the abbreviations have been replaced with official 3-letter codes
• Some of the territory names have been moved to make them slightly clearer
• The Greek peninsular has been connected via a land bridge.
• Different coloured army numbers have been put on the map to show how it looks... The blue numbers are nice and clear; the most difficult to see are the yellow-on-yellow, but I wouldn't say it's problematic...

a) ALB - Albania
b) ALB: Albania
c) Albania (ALB)
d) Albania - ALB
e) Albania ALB
f) something else...

How should the abbreviated countries by shown in the XML/Game Log?

a) ALB - Albania
b) ALB: Albania
c) Albania (ALB)
d) Albania - ALB
e) Albania ALB
f) something else...

Personally I'm inclined to go with option C...

Because there was a poll and capitalization lost

Really?

They're proper names, though...

Gilligan wrote:Can I ask why that was even a poll?

Here's my first ever attempt at some XML...
I haven't put in any coordinates yet, and the large image size is empty; other than that, I'm hoping I've got all the borders and continents right

Updated the XML using the "Albania (ALB)" syntax for abbreviated country names.
