Iberia instead of Spain! Portugal and Spain are 2 different countries.

[El-Rey]

Its untorable!

Portugal is not spain. Portugal and Spain are Part of IBERIA .

Portugal and Spain are two different countries!

Call it Iberia. Its totaly disrespectfull

[EspiOne]

yeah, this is has been discussed with in the forum in the past, the developers can not separate each and every country in the world.

[El-Rey]

There is no need to separate! Called it Iberia and it will automatcly include Portugal and Spain and Gibraltar and the Kingdoms inside Spain.

Easy , simple and fast.

[Hells Malice]

No one actually cares. Just deal with it.

[Ndemic James]

Sorry - I didn't think as many people would recognise Iberia so I went with a country name still. This was only done for gameplay reasons. Hope you understand

[Str8_Newb]

awww ♥♥♥♥ not this again!!!

[EspiOne]

yep, that is what I said, when I first read it. Hell, I should complain, after all

TEXAS, it is SO BIG, it's a whole other Country. TEEHEE.

[Go Yankees!]

WHERE THE ♥♥♥♥ IS GIBRALTER?

[brothercake]

And what about Rockall?

Okay so it's less than a quarter the size of a football field, and nobody lives there ... but that's no excuse! :-D

[El-Rey]

So will they recongnise Spain? You guys live in America ??

Ok I get it... Guys I am not trying to offend nobody, but americans are quite dumb in geography terms + history facts.

Portugal found 2/3 of the known WORLD MAP.

We are know everywhere! India, China, Brasil, Angola, Australia, South Africa, Timor, Indonesia, Macau, Labrador(canada) .

Do you know who is Ronaldo? Mourinho? Durão Barroso? if you dont , you should.

"I Didnt think as many people would recognise Iberia" sorry ADMIN, they are ignorant. What is the problem? Did you guys think GLOBAL? this is a global game.

I suggest you guys exchange names for regions,people will COMPLAIN LESS.

You guys dont even know WHAT SPAIN IS! Spain is made of Navarra, Catalunia, Galiza, Basco ,Castela and Andalucia plus the Islands.

Guys, its not a lot of work! This is a terrible position for your company.

Or even better, put one of those announcements in the game that scroll across the top, "Tensions flare over country naming contraversy in games". (^_^)

Actually the devs are British. So am I. And my perception is that most people in Western Europe have never heard of Iberia, never mind the rest of the world. It's just not in very common usage. Not compared with "Spain", anyway.

A few people complain about this from time to time, but most understand that the limited number of countries is for practical gameplay reasons -- too many countries make the game too complicated, and very small countries are hard to click on.

Contrary to what you think -- it would be a huge amount of work to update the map. It's not just a case of designing a new image, it's all the relationships between countries -- sea routes, population distribution, position of ports, forts and labs. The nature of the map is fundamental to the game's mechanics, and changing it would have a knock-on effect on almost every aspect of the game.

Ultimately, all you're complaining about is that your country isn't on the map. Well guess what -- I live in Wales, and my country isn't on the map either. It really doesn't matter -- it's just a game, not a geography lesson.

You didnt understand what I told you.
I am not actually complaining to put my country in. I am complaing for not using the propor name instead of highlighting the big one .

Again, use the region names. If you can use the country name without disrespecting nobody FINE, GOOD!

If not , use the regions names! Roman empire have left LOTS OF IT fOR europe!

Portugal , Spain,France, and UK DId the rest in the new world. Africa have also region names.

Asia , Same.

Yeah fair enough, Iberia would be a more accurate name, but it's not a very common one -- lots of people won't have heard of it, and that would cause confusion.

There are lots of cases where country names are used to describe a group of countries -- like Spain (encompassing Portugal), UK (encompassing Ireland), China (encompassing Tibet and Nepal), India (encompassing Sri Lankia and Bhutan) ... and so on; there are loads of them. In fact the majority of countries on the Plague Inc map actually encompass more than one country.

In cases where a well-known collective name exists, then these have been used -- examples are Balkan States and Baltic States.

But in cases where there isn't a well-known collective name, then the name of the largest country in that group has been used, because that's the one most people will have heard of.

You've provided one example of a more accurate collective name, but it's not a good choice because it's not well enough known. This is the reason the devs already gave.

Wow,just wow.

I LOVE how your whole post history is dissing games for being historically/geographically inaccurate...and how you don't even own those games,lol.

Soo,did you pirate them to criticize as you're doing? If so,do you realize that's even more disrespectful that the issues you're having?

Also,did you knnow that using terms-fromyour post history-like:

"Guys I am not trying to offend nobody, but americans are quite dumb in geography terms + history facts."

"
Deutshland ??? AHAHAHAHAHAHA

My child, while you were playing who ♥♥♥♥s most in europe, we were exploring the world. While you were converting to god and gods will we WERE SPREADING FAITH,

WE WERE THE NEXT STEP.

WE WERE THE 5TH EMPIRE.

I dont need to tell what you are, cause thats exactly what you are, nothing...

Ask to poop and leave !"

You show that you have no absolute idea what "respect" means?

I think this is overall embarassing,and you have no right to ask for changes,or respect.
