Number Of Regions in Certain Countries

Did the admins think when they assigned the number of regions to the countries? They obviously have no formula. I understand for all the federalist countries (nations with provinces or states, etc), but honestly, the UK?! 11 original regions for a country 40 times smaller than Canada! The UK should have maximum 4 regions: Wales, Northern Ireland, England and Scotland. Also, Uruguay has 1 region, whilst Serbia has 7, and is half the size of Uruguay!? I am not just picking on PHOENIX. Italy has 20 original regions! Then you look at Russia and they have 11 original regions while being the world’s biggest country. France has 22 original regions while Iran has 12, and Iran is over twice as big as France. I find that the perfect size of regions are either Pakistan’s original regions or Romania’s for the smaller European countries. The current system makes it basically impossible to wipe France or Italy, but insanely easy to wipe Russia or Canada. But really admins, just Québec or FER are bigger than most countries. And how the hell does Montenegro end up with three regions and the Czech Republic has the same number?

(Seriously, WTF were they thinking???)

Another region problem is that Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and BC are deformed (British Columbia, not Tem’s brain). There are probably more deformed regions, but these are the ones that have come to my attention.

Don’t forget to vote and sign this petition to find a real formula for regions!

Actually, some of the regions are divisions of countries IRL.

yes i said that in the first paragraph when i said "federalist countries" as in they can have small regions if they are RL regions, but the ones that dont have that in RL?! WTF!

Send a ticket to the admins if you're so concerned.

OMG, this is the biggest problem in erepublik, we must fix it.

The regions in erep are mostly historical regions or real life provinces. For example how do you want Russia to be divided? West Siberia and East Siberia covers half of their land. Romania for example it has somewhere around 8 or 9 regions in game and it has 9 historical regions or provinces in real life. I see no real problem with this...

It's not the real world.

You neglect population, which can be a rather important element in taking a country. The UK is twice the size of Canada IRL, which could have been a determining factor in their choice of provinces. Of course I do believe they did just use some measure of randomness when they built the world, but they probably looked at things based on history, population, and geographic size.
