Question for the Community - Region Groupings

[Deus ex Machina]

on a side note: while germany and austria share many things beside the language (like the market structure) combining them is a bit of a touchy subject.

it was even an extra paragraph in the conditions of the versailles peace treaty after WW1 that forbid such a combination; not that hitler cared about that treaty....

(even a french diplomat allegedly said: "that no peace treaty, thats a cease fire with a timer; it is said that he was 3 days or so off..........)



so for the sake of easy programming its fine, but for the historically inclined it might be a problem because of the stuff above; and below is the reason why it might open the game to flames or prejudices.




for the austrian plebs a good german is the one that either stays in germany (or at least outside their life) or doesnt reveal him/herself everytime he/she speaks. (if he does he might get a lot of flak, flames, snide comments or volunteer as a scapegoat for rumors.)

in the other direction we are viewed like the cousin whos a little bit on the dumb side.

Please regard the two sentences above as my personal experiences, not as an absolute truth, or my personal feelings (since im half-half im not really in a position to talk ).

Well, considering we'll probably combine Aus and NZ as one, and England, Scotland and ALL of Ireland as one, I'm sure the region groupings will upset someone

* Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan - a16a1c

Iran is probably heaps more urban and stable than Afghanistan so no.

Maybe an Iran-Armenia-Azerbaijan as they are relatively similar geopolitically (For the lack of a better word)

I would put Iraq with the Saudis, really.

Daffy and Zeuss are you have telepathy with me coz what you think about the region is
exactly same like me and here in Indonesia(f*cking country)cars(especially from Japan)
is no different,a little rebadging and that was it.And we also imported cars from Thailand
with exactly same model and also in South East Asia there's a lot of rubbish Japanese Cars
like Toyota and Honda
And There's my neighbour The Moron Malaysia were always rebadging
cars from around the world with their dumb brand like Perodua,Naza,Proton they're just
rebadging Daihatsu's,Mitsubishi's,Peugeot's
thats all i know,hope its help
and one question:can i built a formula car ??????

Proton today use their own design. With lotus tuned suspension.

Oh and if you buy those Thailand Imported car. Some bit of your money is now a bit of my road. So I don't think I'm gonna recommended that. And it's not only about re-badge. I know about Indonesian build Toyota Avanza/Daihatsu Xenia. Build quality is shit.

Oh and can you join me in Livechat? I'd like to speak with some South East Asia comrade.

You also have Switzerland they have car factories too.

You have grouped Portugal and Spain but the tax system is very different between the two. The taxes in Spain are much lower than in Portugal.

For example: Spain Portugal
Peugeot RCZ 28900€ 30440€
Porsche Cayenne 66370€ 89583€

I have an idea for Latin America:

- Brazil is a market on itself. Just check out our demographics from 1946 to now;

- Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay can have a Mercosur grouping, along with Chile;

- The other South American countries might be grouped in an Andean Community, with the exception of Guyana and Suriname, considered caribbean until the creation of Unasur (which will group everyone listed here so far);

- Mexico, Central America and Cuba can be considered a single market (remember, all other Latin American countries have normal commercial relations with Cuba). The rest of the Caribbean should be separate from them.
