Before that, though, if we're going to 2020 it's time to start talking about the new world map.

#8: Areas and regions

I've been asked to provide a breakdown of the areas and regions of the game world, so that will be today's entry.

USA: Great Lakes, Mid Atlantic, Mid South, Mid West, New England, North West, South East, South West, Tri State, Puerto Rico, Hawaii

Canada: The Maritimes, Quebec, Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, British Columbia

Mexico: Occidente, Centro, Sur, Sureste, Noroccidente, Noreste

British Isles: Wales, Ireland, Southern England, Scotland, Northern England, Midlands

Japan: Hokkaido, Kyushu, Shikoku, Chugoku, Kansai, Chubu, Kanto, Tohoku

Europe: Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, Central Europe, Southern Europe, Southern Mediterranean, Iberia, Northern Europe, Russia

Oceania: New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Victoria, Western Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand

India: North India, Central India, South India

So, you have an expanded Mexico, Wales coming in, Europe getting reorganised, and India debuting.


As a reminder, currently we think of the areas as a loop:
US: Classic Wrestling (Attitude and earlier)
CAN: Modern wrestling and cartoons
UK: Classic gaming (2000ish and earlier?)
EU: Internet and comics
AUS: Modern gaming
JPN: Anime/manga/VNs/assorted weebery
MEX: Books/TV/Movies/Other
(and it loops back to US)
If you have pop in one area, you get pop equal to a letter grade lower in the "neighboring" areas, two letters lower in the ones two away, and so on. Exceptions are made for people or companies that have ties to multiple areas (IE wrestlers that crossover between eras, or an American character from an anime)

We have a few options, I imagine.

Option #1: Ignore India. The quick path, but also the lazy path. We can just tell people to turn India off. Will still probably want to shuffle some companies around in the redesigned areas, at least.

Option #2: "Minor" overhaul. Something like moving cartoons and comics to India and calling it a day.

Option #3: Major overhaul. Something like....
US: Classic wrestling
CAN: Modern wrestling
UK: Classic gaming
EU: Modern gaming
IND: Internet
OC (AUS): Comics+Cartoons
JPN: Weeb stuff
MEX: Misc.
or if somebody else has a better idea. My logic is "Internet" is kinda small so it can go in the small area, and comics and cartoons probably make a bit more sense together than with internet and modern wrestling, respectively. And then you get gaming together (although it kinda throws off the Character Battle concept a bit having it next to Modern instead of between both)

Option #4: If you have other ideas or long-standing gripes with how we do any of that, now would be a good time to bring them up as I've got some amount of major changes to implement whatever route we go.

It'll probably take a month or two of extra work on my end if we make any changes at all- will wanna go through the whole db and update everybody's pop and languages and stuff. But eh, in for a penny.
