Go Canada! IIRC, all the previous Canadian medals won combined about equal what I won this Olympics!
OOC: That's what happened to Spain in Barcelona '92.

Actually Italy is starting this (FIFAesque) at a national level this turn.

Denmark would like to announce the creation of the Dansk Fodbold Forening or DFF. Its work will consist on the organization of the National Fodbold Kop whose winner will represent the Danish football in the following European Cups, as well as the creation and training of the national football team that competes in the Olympic Games as well as in any other international football event.

Georgia unfortunately failed to capture the gold.
this'd be the twenty-hour warning.

Where is the president of the IOC from?
@flyinchicken: I have issues with the map currently used as well, but it is easier to manage than other available maps, so we'll have to make do. I'd like a revised version of the current map, but whoever was doing that seemed to have given up.
This is the less than twelve hour warning for the update, some of you seem to desire to cut it rather close.

I don't know, the difference in the German east border seems like you may have over exaggerated it a bit on the other map. As for Munich, that's easily enough fixed on the map, did that in like 30 seconds. The Swiss and so forth, that's a different issue since some of the borders were in fact redrawn during the first ABNW.
Well this was odd for city choices for Olympics. With player, lurker, and PM votes we wound up with a three-way tie. I went to the backup method (asking my wife) and we have a city selection to be revealed with the update. I'll be working on less essential parts of the update throughout the day, including the sports page and so on. As I will not be on the interweb most of the day, I highly encourage ya'll to send in orders at the soonest possible moment.

Assuming that Germany has all of modern Poland (based on Galicia and Lesko), Galicia has Western Galicia and southwest Poland, and that all of modern Lithuania (conjecture, more likely that it has half, while the other half is Russian) is German, this is what Europe will look if transformed into a smaller Winkel-Tripel Map, next to the Jason/community map currently used:
You will notice the wrongness of the positioning of Lesko and Galicia, Munich, and Switzerland.
Spoiler the two worlds :
In this spoiler you will see the smaller 2-px border Winkel-Tripel map (a draft, still needs cleaning up at rivers' edges) right next of the Jason/community map. I'm petitioning the use of the smaller (compared to the original, and in terms of filesize compared to the Jason/community one), more correct (therefore easier to reference with other maps, like the ones in Wikipedia) Winkel-Tripel map; I'll even do the converting for you guys, just give me the specifications!
This will make it easier for people to see, I dunno, historically-owned lands conspicuously under foreign domination without a pip from local nationalists. Maybe... maybe they're on a foreign payroll! EXECUTE THE TRAITORS GRAAARRRGGGHHH
Erm, why would Germany have most of Poland? The only way Poland is different in ABNW from the map link posted below is that Austria is no more and has been replaced by Galicia.

qoou, if you were paying attention you wouldn't have posted that. Anyway thanks for pointing out that "only difference" as it will help me with the conversion. What do you mean by "replaced by Galicia"? Since you know so much, go to #nes so we can sort things out!
Erm, sorry
. What I meant was that Prussia/Germany has the same Polish lands as in OTL, as does Russia, but instead of Austria-Hungary having parts of Poland, Galicia does.And sorry: can't get on #nes, because I've never used it and it would take me a few minutes to figure it out, while I have to go sooner than that.
Edit:
Galicia and Hungary is what I meant. It actually seems like Galicia, the country, is only West (New) Galicia, while the rest of the kingdom of Galicia is part of Hungary.
