## 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Fixed truncated and outdated names: Lao PDR to Laos, Brunei Darussalam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 **World:** Fixed outdated names for accuracy and consistency with the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.

## Description:
This was a proposal in the map channel of the dev discord server:
**Updates the Europe map to include Iceland, and removes Classic Europe
off rotation.** Classic Europe will remain in custom private map list
The only thing the new europe map didnt have from the classic version
was iceland, so i figured we should update the europe map to contain it,
since Iceland is a popular spawn in the classic version. Iceland is in
the same position as the classic map
The classic europe is frankly a lesser version of the new map as it
doesnt contain rivers , is smaller and the terrain has less quality, and
with the updated version, classic would just take up very needed space
in the lobby queue. We currently have a very large number of maps, which
results in players having to wait for a long time for an specific map in
public lobbies. This should help the issue a little at the very least.

## Description:
This PR removes the nation strength. Reasoning:
- It is currently unused. The backstory can be found in #2498
- It forces map-makers to do balancing work, which is probably not a
good idea
- It increases map-making work
- It increases nation balancing complexity by a lot (we need to have all
the json files in mind)
- It makes humans avoid map areas completely because there is always
that one, same, strong nation
- The map lead Nikola123 wants to "not deal with the stupid nations and
their balancing"
If the goal of nation strength was to make them feel different I would
suggest a nation personality system. Nations that love to boat, love to
ally, love to nuke, love to fullsend, etc.

Move the MapGenerator repo into OpenFrontIO so we don't need to copy
generated map files over.
