I wouldn't mind an Aboriginal Australian Civ, but that would be reallllly grasping at straws, lol.
You asked for it!
The Principality of Hutt River

Thankfully the chances of these being included as civs is less than the chances of me winning the lottery twice in a row.

Heh thanks! This is one of the many reasons I love Civ and the Civ community
That's be a team of dark horses of a candidate right there

But only if we first get the mighty Republic of Molossia!
Heh, I remembered reading about micronations and coming across one in Australia. This one's my favorite (it's rather unexpected IMHO). Such a long name too.Heh thanks! This is one of the many reasons I love Civ and the Civ community

On a related note, imagine the Principality of Sealand as a civ.
UA: Cannot declare war. Any country that declares war on Switzerland loses 10gpt
Well, if you're trying to take away other civs' free GPT, that ought to make them mad.
I actually thought that another UA could prevent city-states from declaring war on them. In this way, a DoW from another Civ with CS allies is no longer a valid tactic for damaging Switzerland's relationship's with those CS's. This would be of some value to a diplo-victory civ.

Why is switzerland being discussed... Its city states have been confirmed for BNW so it can't be in. And I think australia would be much more interesting than canada... No place like it on earth

Serbia was being discussed but has already been ruled out for the same reason, so why not Switzerland?
Besides, who knows if the devs are reading this looking for ideas for the next expansion/round of DLC

Because discussing is fun? =)
We know Switzerland isn't in, but it would still be a interesting civ!
Only if they add the animals there as UUs.
Imagine a bunch of pissed off kangaroos as infantry or drop bears instead of paratroopers.
Sealand discussion happened!?No more Sealand discussion or the trolls may return
Its already bad enough that Poland will no longer spawn in North Africa or Antarctica, but lets not let Sealand back into this

Ok fine then, would anyone else like to play as Haiti? I'd enjoy that

Caribbean Civ in general would be nice to have, doesn't have to be Haiti in particular.

Ideally, they should have enough CIVs to fit in all the blank areas of the earth map. This means they need:
Colombia/Venezuela
Canada
Central African civ (Congo)
Indonesia civ
Australia/Aborigine civ
Colombia/Venezuela
Canada
Central African civ (Congo)
Indonesia civ
Australia/Aborigine civ

I disagree with that assessment. If that was the case, then where is the clamoring for Madagascar, for starters? Or Sri Lanka?
We don't need to cover all the areas of the globe, that is not a goal that should be in mind when selecting Civs. I'd rather see cultures and nations that have had a much more significant impact on history than Australia or Canada.

At the risk of sounding Eurocentric, why should areas where the "civs" would have to borrow from modern town names to even have any cities be represented as anything other than barbarians?
Such as the Celts, Polynesians, Huns, a prospective further North American Native civ, an Inuit civ, et cetera.

I think it depends on why they have to borrow the names. If they didn't have cities, that's a concern. If they had cities, but white people didn't bother to write down their names, I'm fine with naming it after a modern city near the settlement. That is just blatant Eurocentrism to only favor civs whose city names Europeans felt like writing down.
Because it's a horrible idea to use western standards as a way to define nations and civilizations. There have been major/significant cultural groups that deserve recognition despite never truly being united (Polynesia, Celts, etc). Many civilizations don't fit into the Western idea of a nation (I believe Siam had this problem, we didn't have defined borders because of the Mandala system), etc.
