What expansion after MTG?

[Bratyn]

If anything, Mexico and the Netherlands reinforce the idea that new trees are linked thematically and geographically, what with them being in the US/British sphere of influence respectively.

I don't think Mexico was picked "just because" but because it's in the USA sphere of influence and USA is also getting reworked.

Exactly.

One of the devs said that he considers Soviet Union not only as the next most important country to get reworked, but the fact that it also has by far the worst focus tree out of all majors at the moment. i've heard it during the streams and it's also constantly getting brought up in other streams where they are saying they would really like to focus on them.

Both myself and my fellow CD Archangel85 have said this, but do not conflate what we personally would like to do or think should happen with what will actually happen. Both of us said USSR when asked which nations we personally would like to do next. This may or may not coincide with what actually ends up happening, as first of all that decision is up to Podcat, and secondly a lot more factors other than just 'what we want' are considered when determining the next country to receive a rework.

This means that the content team (who build focus trees, decisions, events, etc.) has been "done" with MtG for several months now

You assume we produce everything without any faults, bugs, or balancing issues immediately on our first iteration Though I am flattered, this is unfortunately a far cry from the true nature of development work
