Totally agree. In fact if I was looking forward to Civ 5, one of the things I'd like to see is a much more realistic model of culture and borders. The way it works in Civ 4 is probably not bad for ancient times, but doesn't remotely reflect real life in the modern world, in which borders are (mostly) agreed internationally and people do not for the most part choose to change their national affiliation because some country built a theatre
. A well-designed more realistic model would be a very nice new element to the game - eg.* Oppressing people could turn them against you
* Adopting multiculturalism could inspire people in your borders to stay loyal to you even though their real nationality lies elsewhere
* If you know people in some other country don't really want to be in that country, you could smuggle arms in to help them revolt
* United Nations could be used to agree and enforce international borders.
etc.
Not really sure (yet) how those could in the game work but just throwing out idea.
But I guess this is really going off topic for this thread so I'll shut up now

Course then you'll have to make the Quebec scenario work somehow...
Hate being Canadian (or at least disagree with the rest of the country being Canadian).
Won't ever go to America (ie culture flip)
So do they (in your civ 5 world) form their own country? IE Balkanization...

Ever read "Night Probe" by Clive Cussler? Very interesting. Totally fictional, though there's something behind the thought of it.bobrath said:

I haven't thought it out that well
- it's just idle speculation on the kinds of things I'd like to see. But yes it has crossed my mind that groups splitting into new civs could be interesting (In my case, coming from the UK, my local equivalent would be something like Scotland going independent). I suspect it'd work best with a more complex model of relationships between civs - something that allows for semi-independent status of some groups, paralleling eg. colonialism or devolution/autonomy. Pursuing the speculation, if that kind of thing was dependent on discovering late-game techs, it could perhaps add a whole new diplomatic dimension to the late game (which frankly I tend to find pretty boring in Civ 3 and 4 - all your boundaries are settled. Unless you go to war, nothing really happens. There's nothing to explore etc.)
