Grubnessul: Awww, I thought it would have been cool ending. Fine, don't like it. I didn't want you to like it anyway!
So, I will post the pictures from the end of game now. Just for the kicks of it, I will attempt to combine nations with teenage personalities. However, my knowledge of different teenage fads is rather lacking since most people in my neck of the woods tend to be rather ordinary.
So first we have Europe. France is the martial arts guy. It is not the biggest nor richest but it is still able to kick the hell out of any other country on the continent. (and that is not because high land tech, either)
Spain is the big fat bully. It has by far biggest income in the world, it controls most lucrative areas of Americas and has fearful army and navy but when it faces opposition, it crumbles like sand castle. (France won them in three successive wars with mere half the Spanish income) Spain also owns most of Italy and that Savoy area.
Then we have Austria, the skinhead fella. They fought a lot of big wars but always against Ottoman Turks. Also pushed small German minors around to enlarge its virtual penis. Did not take part in any wars against other European majors.
Poland to the east is the shy guy. Not much to say about it. Rarely engaged in war.
Sweden is another fat bully.Took control of whole Scandinavia from weaker nations but then stopped in the face of real opposition.
The Netherlands is the goth guy of Europe. It lives its life completely out of the whole continent with its own odd friends. Nobody really cares of it (except Scotland)
Scotland, England and Portugal are also odd guys and arch-nemesises of Netherlands. They are silent in classroom (Europe) but have stormy life outside it. Always act together and have no personal lives. Mass-teen girls, that is.
To very east is huuuuge Russia, the fat nerd. Sometimes tries to act like a cool kid to impress big players of the continent but often fails miserably.
In the far edge of classroom is located the Muslim guy. Austrian skinhead hates it and the rest ignore it. Does not like the ex-emo guy Japan who has tried to enter the gang of cool guys by pushing Arabs and black guys around.
This is the eastern part of Africa. And the red area is indeed Japan. The ex-emo guy. It used to weep about the worlds suckiness in its own corner of the world until it decided to drop the whole emo thing and become a big bully. Tried to find acceptance from big boys by pushing around black people and Arabs. Lost some wars (and land) against the Muslim guy, showing the weakness of this ex-emo.
The last big player of the world is Qinq, the "my big brother will kick your ass" guy. Its armies suck big time but it has so many of them it does not matter. Simply overwhelms its enemies with sheer numbers.
So, we have now met the big players. Lets take a look at the rest of the world then.
The goth kid of Europe runs its own goth circle in the South-East Asia. Green areas are direct Dutch possessions, teal indicates vassal states and that little darker teal is allied but not vassal states.
North-America is mainly divided between England, France and Spain. Also Scotland, Portugal and the Netherlands have some possessions there.
South-America is largely divided between Spain and Portugal with small Dutch colonies in the northern part of the continent.
In western-Africa lies Kanem-Bornu, the small kid who thinks way too much of itself. Southern-Africa is largely Portuguese but Dutch have some lucrative possessions there too, most notably Cape Town.
Meh, should have just told you what the world is like and not even try that teen theme.
Meh.
