What's wrong with you? Can you rename Washington D.C. to Squashington D.C. so I don't mix it with the state?

If you convince the local parliament of Venice to oficcially change it's name to Be Nice, we'll change the map.

Please, rename it to Motherland so we don't mix it with Prussia.

I think we should just wait until venice is submerged by the rising sea levels and then redraw the map to prevent this happening again.

why don't you take a couple more seconds and double check your orders?

haha poor venice, that would be an interesting map :) you could attack tyrolia with a fleet :)

Unfortunately, you need to get a time machine to get it changed back in 1900 or earlier.

Nice is in France. That would add to the confusion. Just be careful.

@ TGM: Yes, but if he went trough the trouble of getting it changed officially, we can make an exception and name it after the current name.

I understand that there is a Galicia in Spain too.

There is.

While we are at it, it's hard for me to call the country "England". Can we refer to it as Great Britain? I always want to type "British" instead of "English".

I also want the colors on webDip to match the colors on my board game. Russia needs to be white and Engla... Britain needs to be dark blue. Germany should be grey for that matter (black would be too hard on the eyes so I'll compromise there).

And I want a sandwich right now. Why doesn't anyone attend to *my* needs?

hahaha.

While we're on the topic, it would be very convenient for me if you all would just surrender whenever you're playing against me. That would be a real help. Thanks.

I am anti-war and this game is offensive to me. Could we please shut down this site and burn all remaining hard-copies of the game?

k, thanks guys.

No we wont. Rumania has become Romania - thats an entire nation that's changed and we still haven't!

Also whilst all this is sarcastic, I have to agree with grumbledook's first comment: I'd much rather have Britain than England.

The terms were until relatively recently used interchangeably.

@ The Ghostmaker Central Asia Minor has been known by a varation of the same name Galatia.

I call it Britain or Great Britain, and i'm from the US. so i'd be all for the change :)

Why not just call it by its true title - Scotland.

Because that would confuse the scottish nationalists (and no, they don't deserve capitalisation:P)

How could you decapitate the SNP?

Its very temping! But first they can have the honour of decapicating the BNP for me!

I would like to request that Africa be added to the diplomacy map. I find it quite racist how the Africans are not included.
This whole game is elitist. I would demand that this take into account the masses and include units for them.

Actually, there's a talk about adding them on goondip for a variant. Egypt and Lybia, I believe.

That's already happened. The modern diplomacy variant includes the northern portion of Africa and has Egypt as one of the powers.

Is this thread satirical?

Lol you can call them whatever you want.... I call England Britian like... all the time.

Zienna... Vienna. I'm sure they'd no what you meant.

Or you could say "Austrian V" and "Italian V." Those are totally different names but people would know what you meant.

But yeah I know what you mean, OP. I always mix up North Sea, North Africa, and North Atlantic. Ahhh!

they'd KNOW, not no... obviously.

I second LeRoi's comments about adding Africa. I personally would like to see Noobia as a supply center.

'What's a Nubian'?

(Name that movie)

While you're at it just add Antartica and use penguins for units!

Chasing Amy

good call L1star, i think cuba would be a good addition to the map, it just makes sense to me.

Well, Atlantis might be within the borders of the map?
