Solution to the Israeli-Palestine problem on the map.

Well, I have two. First, we could add the West Bank and Gaza as "State of Palestine" or just "Palestine", and make its capitol Jericho or Gaza, considering Jerusalem is kind of taken. Or, we could avoid making a new country, and combine the two, and call it "United republic of Israel-Palestine" or just "Israel-Palestine". I think this would be a quite simple way to solve this, and since the admins said "No." to politics', it should be fine to add Palestine, considering a good chunk of the world sees' it as a country. The capitol of Israel-Palestine would be Jerusalem, and another city that could be added is Tel-aviv, Gaza or Jericho, or any other big city around there. Is this logical? Or is keeping that unconquerable blob on the map better? (curse that blob! My empire needs it's!).

I don't think its all that bad. I hate having to stare at that neutral blob on the map mocking me every time I look at it.

As much as I support Palestine, it'd give you 1 reinforcement and all of it's major cities are very close to Jerusalem, which would make adding a city there a mess.

The map has to represent real world countries, an Israel-Palestine union is laughable at best.

Then give it all to Israel, because that's the most logical thing to do then. They gave Kosovo, which I DO NOT AGREE WITH, to Serbia, so I guess Palestine can be given to Israel as well. A second city, like I said, would be nice to go along with it though.

Probley just as much a chance of them doing this, as there is for them to split the U.S. into 50 countries((states)) instead of 7 FEMA zones..

I think Tel Aviv should be the capital instead, because by recognising the Palestinian territory as separate, Amok pretty much said "no Jerusalem for the Jews!". I won't go into statistics, but basically, if the urban and metropolitan areas are combined for Tel Aviv then it can reach 2 or 3 reinforcements. Of course, Afterwind currently works by measuring the population in the city centre, so this metric would not be consistent with the rest of the game.

BTW, I agree about Kosovo. It really should be made completely neutral without any cities in it, because it has accumulated a fair amount of recognition around the world.

Better idea; how about we just make a poll with the three or so options' in this thread and see what everyone thinks?

Yes make them a country
