Some minor geographical mistakes.

[GeorgePaul]

I have noticed some geographical mistakes on the map. The first is that the game says that Greece is part of the Middle East, which is false, Greece is part of Europe. The second is,, according to the game, Egypt is part of Africa, which again is false because Egypt is part of the Middle East.

Here is a map of Europe:

and here is a link to the "Middle East" wiki page:

Just looking at the thread title I was hoping you aren't Greek

You are correct in your observations but they were intentional changes for balancing reasons (and a necessary walkaround against some pretty nasty engine limitations).

[GeorgePaul]

What do you mean you were hopping I wasn't Greek? I am Greek, but why does it matter?

I think there was a pretty heated thread once shortly after release, the OP was excessively patriotic, you can make up the rest Don't take this in a bad way, I mean no disrespect.

Probably because he was hoping you weren't offended at being transferred to the middle east without advance notice

@GeorgePaul - The designers weren't trying to set the funding boundaries according to some official standard. They are set to a certain contiguous geographic area that made sense for funding source and air coverage. Greece is much closer to the Middle East than England, so they put it in the Middle East funding zone. I think you'll find other funding zones that don't match the technical definition of certain geographic areas. Nobody is picking on Greece.

True.

Parts of southern United States are considered "central america" by the game. Although I know some Texans who would vehemently disagree.
