How about regions? For example, in the interface picture Johan posted, "Poland" is on the map, even though it's not an independent country. And "Germany" doesn't exist yet either, but is on the map.
IMO, it's fine to mention regions on the map on large zoom level.
(For example, I always hated how it said 'Soviet Union' in big letters on the HoI2 map, would've been fine if it said 'Russia').
It couldn't of been called Russia since there was 15-16 different republics that merged together to make the Soviet Union.
It's real name was, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
Ottoman Empire created a unique viceroyalty position (Khedivate) specifically for Muhammed Ali and his descendants. Egyptian Khedives therefore became "royal governors" ruling on behalf of Ottoman Sultan, meaning Muhammed Ali's line would inherit the governorship (instead of appointment).I like the way Egypt was handled in Vicky 1. If they can win the war outright, they should be fully independent. Maybe even have an event chain causing further Ottoman colapse should this occur. Otherwise, if the game proceeds historically, they should be more or less a satelite.
I think they look accurate enough, actually.
Yes! Tunc's Ottoman thread! I'm subscribing to this
