I went a bit beyond what I intended to do working on this new map. In order to avoid doing work multiple times, I decided that in this update I was going to complete the whole world map. So no more "This country has not been added yet."

I decided to start that with Africa, since that was the next continent I wanted to work on.

Unfortunately, I did have to combine several countries in order to make some game mechanics work properly. There are quite a lot of small countries in the world that would be represented by a single hex on the map, and I feel like players would have no reason to expand to these countries. So I took some liberties with borders and combined some countries to make the gameplay make a bit more sense. I will tack on the word "Union" to all of these groups to indicate to the player that this is not a single country in real life.

AFRICA

As a side note, I did add Malawi to the country of Mozambique, and I added Swaziland and Lesotho to the country of South Africa. I am not sure yet how I want to present the name in game. (Maybe just "South African Union" and "Mozambican Union". We'll see.)
