Serbian town Cacal should be Cacak
Somber should be Sombor

Niksi in Montenegro should be Niksic

The game also doesn't seem to support the letters Ž,Š,Đ,Č,Ć, and there is one town you wrote with Ž, it shows as VARA?DIN, so you may want to replace that ? with a Z, to make it VARAZDIN. It's in Croatia. Spotted nothing else though.

I think you should use Seoul as I presume the ŏ letter is not supported.
It is Seoul. Ask any Korean neighbour or even the Korean Government

In Tunisia Al Hammamat should read Hammamet, Al Munastir should read Monastir and Al Qayrawan should read Kairouan. I have personally visited these towns and that is what you will see on the local road signs.

I'm not sure if this is where it belongs. In China, there is an industrial complex called Nanchang. It is located on a narrow river hex. I can't build on it and I think it should be a city.

I also found another one similar to this near Kolkata.

Noticed on the 2020 main map - the Republic of Cyprus is not represented, but shown as Greek territory. It is actually an independent nation and a member state of the EU. As as larger country than some represented e.g. Fiji, Seychelles, Mauritius, Sao Tomé etc, it seems odd that it is not properly represented. Any idea why it is done this way?

Not an error, but the source of endless debates between George and I. Cyprus got independent region status for the Global Crisis map. You'd have to ask George for exactly why he wanted it that way but IIRC it was due to Greece and Turkey having such strong influences on their respective sides of the island.

Suggested name changes for S Korea/Tunisia not implemented, as previously indicated we are sticking to one source for names. You can always edit your own .OOF file if it's a serious issue.

To paraphrase Douglas Adams; We support the highest level of accuracy and wherever it is determined that the game and real life differ we are confident it is real life that has made a mistake. ;)

Hi. This is my first post. I've noticed that there are no romanian players of the game, witch is kind of sad. Anyways there are some errors in Romania's cities names :

SIGHETU MARMATIEI should be SIGHETUL MARMATIEI (probably too long, not a big problem);
BAIE MARE should be BAIA MARE (big problem, my home city);
BISTRATA -- BISTRITA;
FROCSANI -- FOCSANI;
GHEORGHE GHEORGHIU-DEJ -- ONESTI (serios problem, gheorghiu dej was the second communist dictator of Romania);

another problem is the reversed T shaped river in the north of romania, that does not exist, there are other rivers there.
and also the main road goes cluj-napoca-baia mare-satumare also rail connection along with the road. And no rail connection ,as i know of ,with ucraine.

off topic. About the hungarian city Hajdúszoboszló : ten friends of mine went there about 2 years ago for a high school experience exchange. late at night, in a bar some hungarian started a fight with my friends. they went outside where some 15 were waiting. The hungarians got a beating to remember but still called for more friends. 15 minutes later, about 10 cars arrive and start chasing my friends. my boys split up and try to make the huns split too. they get to beat another 15 huns untill the police arrived.
the hungarians got all the blame and a good beating.
The final was that one of my friends knew hungarian and shouted "We won the battle of Hajdúszoboszló!!!" while the police arrested the huns. :evil: :evil: :evil:

Yakutsk in Siberia has an aircraft fab on the city hex and there is no airport! :lol:

Also, not sure how the pop distribution works. I know it can't be 100% accurate. For example: The city Victoria on Vancouver Island is far under populated. I know how you arrived at that pop though, because although Greater Victoria is a CMA of ~340,000 people, it is divided into 13 municipalities, and Victoria proper only has 78,000 residents. However, the hex you have labelled as 'Victoria' would have more like 120,000 people [including Victoria, Esquimalt, Oak Bay, View Royal], the hex with 'Saanich' on it would have more like 150,000 people [including Saanich, Central Saanich, North Saanich, Sidney], the hex x;197y;146 [directly the northwest of Victoria and including Colwood, Highlands, Langford] would have about 40,000 people rather than 356, and finally hex x;196y;147 [directly west and including Metchosin, Sooke, East Sooke, and bits of Langford] would have about 20,000 people rather than 48. I should know being a resident of Victoria. I also find that Vancouver Island [and undoubtedly other places as well] is ridiculously under-populated, with barely 300,000 people, less than half the current day population of some 730,000 people. Obviously a minor issue, but puts into doubt the accuracy of geographic population distribution, especially since I noticed that there tends to be a very high pop concentration around capital cities. ???

Industrial Complex x;184y;133 should be named either Port Hardy or Port McNeil, as those are the two most important communities in that area.

Population dispersion is set manually for cities and then a formula distributes remaining population.

Thanks for the info.
