On a serious note though, I'll edit my sheet to spell it right XD

The mid 1940's is well past when the Model-T was invented, so cars would be rather common in many of the more modern countries. Perhaps the available cars wouldn't be super luxurious, but then again it can be even more profitable to follow the Kia model and sell tons of cars for cheap as compared to just selling a few super expensive cars like Lamborghini does.

@Hael

Didn't we say that Tin purchases a lot of its tanks, cars, etc. from KalMea? That's big money right there. Maybe other nations will buy military vehicles from you, and if not, you could just have the headquarters of Osetia's equivalent to Bentley, Mercedes-Benz, and Lamborghini. Make lots of fancy cars for individual cotizens to buy rather than governments. I bet the douchebag elves would appreciate having Lamborghinis.

Does gravity count as AA defense? Because...that's mainly what I have

Hey, does anyone want to secure trade with KalMea? We can make almost anything!

@Hael

Holy crap that's amazing! Can Tin import some of your gravity? I know it's really high-tech but we're allies!

With the Zanjar Islands' area taken into account I reason that Tin is a bit larger than Eisenkreis, but barely. My nations' land is also much more hostile for farming and such. Ideally I'd be the biggest nation by a decent margin but I suppose that's not happening. Admittedly Eisenkreis seems like more of a confederation than a unitary and singular nation, which is somewhat consoling. If I think of them as a group of smaller, largely autonomous states that are culturally united, I can still claim IC that Tin is the biggest nation and the almighty Russia-blob.

That's fine, I'll put it back. I'm not taking sides here, just showing what the two versions look like. I think Avalia has a bit too much too, Tin should have a bit more of that southern land.

This is all an approximation since the political map has no physical landforms.

@Mihndar

Thanks. Hope I didn't come off as hostile; I appreciate you making the maps.

The Sun Will Never Set (A Statisticless NRP)(It had a good run)

I'm cutting a bit more out of Tin, but keep in mind a lot of Tin and a lot of the northern nations is useless tundra, whereas you're near the equator and have a much higher percentage of usable land.

@Mihndar

I'd like to all be friends here and not get too heated, but I'm actually rather pissed that you cut swathes of Tin out, in spite of the fact that the borders previously made sense geographically (following mountains and rivers) and that I'd already drawn my own relatively detailed map and how my sheet talked about how the northern riverlands and southwestern mountains were important economically (both features seem to have been taken), and now all that will be redone. To boot you didn't even ask me.

As in for the neighbors having mostly useless tundra, even if we assume that's true (which I could argue against) they chose that land and didn't object when I plopped down Tin to the south. You're also ignoring the fact that I probably have the smallest ratio of usable land of anybody. Half my land is desert and plenty more is mountainous, which is good for mining but not much else. Incidentally, what grassland, riverland, and mountains that I had were what was was taken out.

With 125 million people I'm about in the middle for population. I don't have any special materials and I have the worst technology and industrialization out of all nations so far, and when I make my military section you'll see that my navy is just decent, my army mediocre at best, and my air force almost nonexistent. I did all of this just because I wanted to be the Russia-blob across the landscape. That was all I wanted, about all that made Tin stand out, but now it's actually looking like there might be a few nations that are actually bigger than me.

So needless to say I'm annoyed and disappointed by these changes to the map.

I like the political map. I also like that I am giant, red blob. There's something oddly satisfying about it.

And yes Hael, literally all your people are smashed together into the tail of a giant tin man. That is the extent of their lives, their only purpose in this world.

Hey, you said it didn't need to be changed :P

Would you like it to be a third? A quarter? A fifth? A sixth? Just some random dude's house?

@Hael

By the way, I added my side of our nations' history to my sheet.
