Alright, this is as the internet would say 5/7 mod, or joke aside the best mod ever in the history of gaming and it has finally stood on its foot. Novapaddy promised this mod long ago and he didn't forget it, and during the course of making this mod i wish him much success because as much as he wants to play this, the people do too. In front of you gentlemen is the best map, the best modding team, the best, friendliest and most cooperative community, so lets all help this mod as much as we can. I saw that the guys have rushed to point out the mistakes of this mod so it can be fixed as soon as possible, and i also personally thank them for that, and now there is nothing much to add besides personal wishes and perhaps advice (apparently the word "advice" has no plural, "advices" doesn't exist as a word, you learn something new every day).
To get to the point, i downloaded the mod the second it got out yesterday, and played it probably like 10 hours overall, counting then and today together. As soon as i wanted to point out on a mistake someone of you guys already did it, jeez i got to say you are one hell of a community. So, the only thing that i have left to say is one wish, or advice from the geopolitics that i have learned so far, that the alliances in modern times are mostly constructed from case to case, or from engagement to engagement. But, that wouldn't help the game, as it pretty much doesn't work that way over here, as it would only lead to a bundle of events trying to do not much that complicate the stuff we don't even wanna see. In game i saw, over and over again that Poland attacks Ukraine. Thats a certain no-no in real life as Poland is full NATO member and Ukraine is heavily pro NATO governed, and it's independence is based on NATO help, not on the contrairy. Therefore, i have decided to help a bit, and create a map of certain and possible alliances in the modern world today. Just to explain, this is really based on a real and thorough geopolitical knowledge but not even that can help you predict the future. This can help in more accurate event building and prevent future mistakes from happening.

P.S. The map, of course, is just a pure guess, and it only works as a balance measure in case of USA - Shanghai Pact all out world war and not in case of a single alliance aggression on a neutral country (NATO - Iraq war where we only saw US, UK, Aussies and unfortunate Poland join the game officially, none other). Also in real life, nations such as India, Pakistan, Cambodia and on the other hand Mexico, Republic of Srpska, Serbia also much of Central America would find it extremely difficult to stay neutral even though they really have strong neutral stance. In the map, nations such as Venezuela, Cuba and Ecuador are portrayed as potential SP allies probably only in case of a near victory of the Shanghai Pact.
