Brave New World will have a unique box in Poland. Here it is.
Spoiler :
I don't know if more countries have their unique boxes. If they have, please post them.
Please, Firaxis, remember that Brazilian also will buy the expansion!
Yes, but they use Monopoly money.
As more and more people buy the game digitally, do we really care what the box looks like?

I use it as the "album art" for the soundtracks in my iTunes. It's a small thing--I could as easily use logos or just screenshots--but I like the look of it.

The artwork is great, but what bothers is me that the "communist" ideology scene is on the RIGHT and the "fascist" ideology scene is on the LEFT.
It goes completely against the political spectrum
Smart answer: that's because we're looking from the point of view of the leaders/dictators/whoever at the front, who don't see it in those terms. To the people looking up at their 'leaders', the socialist is on the left and the fascist is on the right.
Real answer: it makes no difference and the "political spectrum" is rubbish

I have hard time figuring out what you want to say here. Are you saying fascism is a ideology of the left?
There's no communism or fascism in that picture, the colours are because those are Poland's colours.

Your smart answer actually makes a lot of sense. And of course it doesn't matter, but it's just the first thing my brain had to notice. Until you mentioned it from the perspective of the people (who are more important than their respective extremist leaders).
I'd say that there are many clues indicating the scene on the right relates to the "Order" path and the Communist revolution (or at least the move toward state socialism if you want to say that the end-result of communism was never attained).
There's the hammer that the leader is holding, the crowd is made up of the every-day working proletariat class, and there's the smokestacks (alluding toward Stalin's industrial "plans" and those of other leaders in the world such as Peron in Argentina).
Plus, the statue is reminiscent of the many statues of Lenin found in countries of the communist world.
I suppose the image on the left is less obvious, but, again, if the middle scene symbolizes the "Freedom" tree then the left would be "Autocracy." If anything, the planes in the sky and the tanks in the background come straight from fascist Germany's militarization through the Luftwaffe and Panthers.
Regardless, yes it doesn't matter but I would say the three scenes must allude to the three different policies of the industrial era.
And that's an interesting point about the Poland colors, I never noticed that.
