I don't think Tommy thinks much of Welshmen, tiger.

Imperial II , my favorite variant of all time (right Ninja?), has a few naming quirks. This is partially because the people who encoded it into RealPolitik did not consult with the map designer, and guessed at several names. Michael's origninal name for the space now called Barrier was Great Australian Bight. Similarly, the territory abbreviated as BAN was called Bandar al Abbas or something like that. When it got converting to RP the Bight became Barrier (or Barrier Sea or Great Barrier Reef), and Bandar became Bangalore (which is in India). Michael spelled Irian Jaya correctly on his abbreviations page, which was sadly lost somewhere in time.

I guess someone is always going to poke holes in the naming choices those. I'm still bitter at Tom for the "Bull Run" affair.

I wish it were the ONLY such mistake! When having to name so many spaces, every so often it gets easy to confuse your directions. Remember you guys are using an older rev map, kaner is programming the most recent and just yesterday he asked what "MVR" stood for (a sea zone off Namibia) turns out I must have been standing on my head as that spaces was supposed to be WVR. There is (and has been) an abbreviation page http://www.freewebs.com/tomahaha/ww4abbreviations.htm
This however is for the most current map design (less the several just added spaces that is). No excuse other than ooops!

Maybe kaner can correct it while he's at it?

In the WWIV variant, some of the chinese territories are incorrectly named

Yah - at the moment I'm making the connections between territories.

Then I'll correct a few of the misnamed ones.
EBR => WBR
MRC => WRC
MWA => AZP

What territories are misnamed in china, tiger?

There is that one Manchurian territory that currently does not have a name. I think it should be JIL.

I do not believe anything in China is mislabeled and nothing is un-named. Maybe the old map you have been playing on is wrong from past coding? But the new one as compared to the chart looks good to me (I actually spent a LOT of time on China trying to get things as accurate as I could, it being an area I was not as familiar with as far as provinces and such. There are certainly some liberties taken with the map lines as is seen everywhere (can't help that) but they SHOULD be fairly accurate and one person from China actually told me he was quite surprised at how accurate a westerner did on China! (though he did get a chuckle out of the Sichuan and Song Empires, especially the Song since that was pulled from OLD history and that starting territory is iffy at best as far as even past reality)

Yunan=Yunnan
Zhengzhou=Zhejiang
(I think)

well there you go, Yunan is simply a spelling difference and I have a map that showed it as the single N though looking closer, I do see the double N is more accepted and the correct way of spelling though it does not affect the map abbreviation and Zhengzhou you are absolutely correct there! (though again, the map stays correct)
