Country:


27 Apr 19 UTC Spring, 1937: Are all those purple territories throughout the map one country?
27 Apr 19 UTC Spring, 1937: Probably supposed to be British. This map seems to have a bit of alternate history with Portugal/Brazil as one country and several colonies colored strangely
27 Apr 19 UTC Spring, 1937: Note: don’t use diplomacy maps to study for history exams.
27 Apr 19 UTC Spring, 1937: Writing an essay about WW1 like: The Turkish-Russian Juggernaut alliance declared war on Austria-Hungary after the archduke attempted to move an army into Rumania in the fall of 1901, prompting Germany and England to strike a deal to capture Warsaw and St. Petersburg,
28 Apr 19 UTC Spring, 1937: Britain's everywhere
28 Apr 19 UTC Spring, 1937: T E A T I M E
28 Apr 19 UTC Spring, 1937: I admit it's been a while since world history class, but why are the French in Argentina?
28 Apr 19 UTC Spring, 1937: Because argentina hates the brits?
28 Apr 19 UTC Spring, 1937: Ummm.... I’m on Wikipedia right now...
28 Apr 19 UTC Spring, 1937: What's the point of having tanks in The middle of the ocean?
28 Apr 19 UTC Spring, 1937: I think the tanks in the ocean is a great way of blunting japanese expansionism while ensuring the US takes a defensive position.

Re French in Argentina, other historically questionable elements include England in Peru (Paddington Bear?) & Victoria ceceding from Australia, and New Zealand and Malaya lost from the British Commonwealth.
28 Apr 19 UTC Spring, 1937: And the Brits in the Congo too!

One option on this map could’ve been combining Belgium & Holland (still 2 SCs in Europe) as a single Low Countries power, then given them the Congo, Indonesia & a random island or something in the Caribbean. Just a thought.

But let’s play this as it is & work it out later.
28 Apr 19 UTC Spring, 1937: This variant is super imbalanced. Some would find that a problem but I think it is going to be interesting.
28 Apr 19 UTC Spring, 1937: Trust me to get little tiny Thailand :'(
28 Apr 19 UTC Spring, 1937: I always seem to get Britain or Germany on these types of maps. Lo and behold...
28 Apr 19 UTC Spring, 1937: No interactive map order interface in this game?
29 Apr 19 UTC Spring, 1937: GameMaster: NMR from France. Send the country in CD.
29 Apr 19 UTC Spring, 1937: GameMaster: NMR from Japan. Send the country in CD.
29 Apr 19 UTC Spring, 1937: GameMaster: Missing orders for Spring, 1937 (Diplomacy) from a country with 2 or more SCs. Extending phase.The game will continue after this phase even if you do not find a replacement.
29 Apr 19 UTC Spring, 1937: GameMaster: Someone has taken over France replacing "LovelyPinkEgg". Reconsider your alliances.
