What about maps like Arms Race where there are a fair amount of neutrals at the start but they aren't always the same? Or is this only for territories that are ALWAYS neutral.

All in for it. It could be included in the map's image.

In any map, any region can be neutral, therefore it should be put for all the regions, no matter if they start neutral or not

This is a no brainer. I have often clicked on maps and looked at them and thought "what idiot decided to leave all of those spots blank?"

Yeah, I don't think it really requires that much work. Out of the two places that I suggested the information be (the foundry AND the clickable map image from various screens on this site), I actually would prefer it be in the clickable map images, if it's only going to be in one place.

The advantage to this is that it really shouldn't require any additional work on the mapmaker's part. It could be coded from the XML. I can't imagine that this would be a very hard thing to do, given that the site retrieves this information in every game played.

Even better!! Save many more manhours of work that way.

I definitely support this suggestion. That information will be helpful for anyone new to a map who wants to learn it.

Thanks for the support guys. Just FYI for anyone concerned, I will not be using my new mod powers on any of my own suggestions. Anything I say in my own suggestions like this will be as a common user and proponent of my own suggestion.

I will use my powers to head over and talk to some of the tech guys to see how possible this is and maybe have one of them come back and talk about it. All I was saying was that I won't be stickying this or moving it to submitted. I'll let another mod do that.
