Eh... no. As far as I know Diego Garcia hosts a US naval base. (Kind of an important one too.)
yes, in BRITISH territory. Not called British Indian Ocean Territory for nothing. Diego Garcia is best represented by the UK & USA having open boarders, so players can still use it as forward operating base if they so wish.

if uyou read the article it is a a joint US\UK base, with RAF units based there too.
Open boarders with a 1 pop city with all the military\naval building would best represent it.
That way US can use it without owning it (which it doesnt)

(And I don't mind your correction: I just assumed Diego Garcia was US, because of the naval base.)
Jeelen:
FYI, I played for a while with that GEM 1940 map. After 20 turns it's still not slow at all. If Genghis_Kai doesn't mind us using his map, I completely agree with you that this would be the best map to base our main scenario on.

Quick suggestion:
I HIGHLY suggest having South America and much of Central Africa, and much of central Russia use the "marsh" tile from Rhye's map. This is HIGHLY useful to make sure that South America and Africa don't become compltely crazily over-powerful in commerce, along with central Russia...
The Marsh tile is incredibly important to balance gameplay realistically for the countries on these continents.

Hi, welcome.
The best place to look for Ryse's maps is in his forum. This forum is for a mod that is not yet ready to be played.
Are you really in Mongolia?

Does the GEM have special terrain movement costs in the Pacific? Since it is smaller than in reality to have more space on that map for land area it would take a much shorter time for a fleet to cross the Pacific. The World 2009 mod is much about realistic simulation so shouldn't we have a special Pacific tile to slow down navy? This might be significant if there was to be some war between e.g. USA and China.
And another thing that stroke me when I had a closer look at the GEM screenshot: Suez seems to consist of two tiles. Wouldn't it be nice to narrow it to one tile so a city on that tile would represent the Suez Channel that would only be open for nations who have open borders with Egypt. Just like the Russian Black Sea Fleet can leave the Black Sea only through Istanbul.
