## Description:
Comprehensive accuracy and quality-of-life improvements across 8 maps.
No gameplay mechanics changed: only nation names, spawn positions, and
flag codes. All changes bring maps closer to real-world geographic and
historical accuracy.
**Changes by map:**
1. **North America:** Corrected numerous incorrect state spawn
positions. Added all 13 Canadian provinces and territories with correct
flags, as well as a few additional bots for balancing and completeness.
2. **South America:** Corrected spawn positions of Venezuela, Suriname,
and French Guiana. Added four Brazilian states (Amazonas, Pará, Bahia,
São Paulo) for better regional coverage and balancing.
3. **Gateway to the Atlantic:** Full historical consistency pass
targeting the ~1340-1410 CE period, matching the existing Britannia and
Italia map style. Renamed several nations for historical accuracy (Duchy
of Burgundy, Kingdom of Navarre, Kingdom of Majorca, City of Avignon,
Crown of Aragon, Duchy of Aquitaine, Hafsid Sultanate, Marinid
Sultanate, Zayyanid Sultanate, Holy Roman Empire). Added 7 new
historically accurate flag SVGs for these nations.
4. **Europe:** Shortened long-form nation names to short-form for
consistency with other maps. Added Andorra and Monaco for improved
balance.
5. **Europe Classic:** Fixed "Syrian Arab Republic" to "Syria" for
consistency with all other maps. Added Baltic states, Croatia, Denmark,
Sápmi for balancing.
6. **Oceania:** Removed ghost bots that no longer appear on the map.
Fixed truncated and outdated names: Lao PDR to Laos, Brunei Darussalam
to Brunei, TimorLeste to Timor Leste, Taiwan Province of China to
Taiwan.
7. **World:** Fixed outdated names for accuracy and consistency with the
World map and other maps. Added bots in regions lacking coverage for
more consistent global representation.
8. **Giant World Map:** Updated nation names for accuracy and
consistency. Added Canadian provinces, US states, Bolivia, and Gabon for
improved map balance.
All changes made and verified in the map editor. No en.json or UI
changes required as these are map data files only.

Iron_Mine : (300612003138109451)
## Description:
This is based on the JSON (made by N0ur) in PR #990 originally posted
about
[here](https://discord.com/channels/1359946986937258015/1360078040222142564/1378848304112078929).
That PR meant to add Giant World Map to the playlist. It never got
merged because the lag prevented the map from being usable in public
lobbies.
But the PR also contained fixes to the Nations coordinates, added many
new Nations and changed others. Which would have fixed [this issue with
Nations spawning on weird
places](https://discord.com/channels/1284581928254701718/1398084593868865659/1398084593868865659)
and the below one of Nations not spawning at all.
Converted the JSON from PR 990 into the current manifest structure and
order. Checked against Flags folder to see if files where missing. All
missing flag files where helpfully supplied by N0ur and added to this
PR.

## Description:
- Revised 55 Flags (US States and Territories) to resolve aspect ratio
scaling issues in game. Has introduced some minor visual issues with
crosses drawing past the bounds of the flag, but this is a lesser issue
than misrproportioned scaling and is only obvious in menus.
- Added 43 New flags made by N0ur
- Revised countries.json to make the new flags available for users to
select
- Revised 9 existing flags with ones made by N0ur
- New North America map (v3), which is 250,000 pixels smaller than v2,
significant additions of lakes and rivers, addressing complaints about
missing Ohio river and inaccurate Missouri river. West coast and
Central/South America now also have rivers. Updated Json to give most
bots flags.
- New South America map (v2), which has a fully realized Amazon river
system, two separate ocean exits. Southern Fjords turned up to 11.
- New Africa Map (v3), with more fleshed out river systems. size
decreased by 250,000 pixels. Great Rift lake now link up to the Congo
basin, and the rivers to their south, making most of Africa connected by
one river system with a Northern, Southern and Eastern Exit
- New Europe Map (v2), extended map bounds south, include entire North
African coast. bounds drawn in on the West, cutting off Iceland and much
ocean in favor of more detail on the continent. Rivers and lakes
implemented. Western-most edge of the Russia-Siberia massive river
network included (preview). Additional nation bots added to the map, to
fill empty areas. Coastline details significantly improved.
- Edits to the Gateway to the Atlantic json to add flags for most of the
Nation bots.
All maps were tested in game, flag selection menu item was visually
inspected for image loading issues.

I have minify images and convert them to webp format that reduce size
and keep quality.
Reduce size of bg image since its already blured by css so no need to
have it that big.
Reduce size of thumbs and helper images in helper modals should be fine
since they will not exceed the container size. Even that make them
larger than containter just to be safe
This is a map of the Australian country. It has 7 bots - the 7 states of
the country. This is my first time making a pull request, so I'm sorry
if i messed something up or something doesn't work.
Revised North America Map, added lakes and rivers, some manual edits
around the northern coasts to preserve the jagged fjordness, added ~53
bots to the json, to fill in all the empty space (makes for a very fun
solo run, may need to reduce somewhat once the players get a chance to
try it).
Added 50 US state flags to the resources folder.
**Can now Nuke Santa.**
