Ok, can do. Should Florida be Atlanta or Miami?

And, i'll make the lines gradients, from one color to the other.

There's nothing wrong with the word Eskimo.

Eskimo Canada stays. :D

Don't worry Rueben. We all like you no matter how space-cadetted you are :P

I think this map is coming along, maybe for the founders I should use the star as the army shadow... opinions?

It looks ugly, every single color/border line you have there needs to go.



Also, I'd say use the colors I put on the one I recommended for you.

Let's use the example of Portugal. Portugal has red and blue dots. Therefore, Portugal may attack all ports in Canada and USA.

Puerto Rico has blue, green, and pink dots, meaning it can attack all ports in Canada, Western Europe, and Eastern Conference.

Looking at my posts, rants, and political alignment: Do you honestly think I care if it is PC? They don't mind.

Oh please, you really think 'Brussels' is the country?
Brussels is the capital of BELGIUM, and you forgot the Netherlands, they're also a NATO member.

The word Eskimo is not offensive to the Eskimos.

Labels were too big to have both. So I merged them. Brussels is the HQ of Nato, so I figured instead of offending someone by naming the area "Netherlands" of "Belgium" I named it "Brussels." Do you have a problem with that?

I'd recommend to use 'BENELUX' in that case, as it is the official name of the cooperation between BElgium, the NEtherlands and LUXembourg.
Cause maybe the dutch people may find it offending seeing there country under the Belgian capital

Ok, let's all vote: Benelux or Belgium?

Benelux covers the whole area, while Brussels adds a nod to the fact that NATO is Headquartered in Brussels.

'Script' fonts, won't ever be very good, due to lack of clarity.

Regarding the country names...keep consistency. If you switch out brussels, get rid of Detroit, as it is a city also. Or if you keep the cities, might remove the state/area names.

IMO

Eskimo Canada should be Northwest Territories
Anglophone Canada should be Ontario
Francophone canada should be Quebec



Why the retarded names?
