It's not the same when it's not called Arab Shia State (and Saudi Homelands Independent Territory).

Yeah, since Aleppo went tits up, there hasn't really been a coherent Syrian opposition besides Rojava (which has dropped most of its Kurdish nationalist trappings and rebranded itself as the "Federation of Northern Syria," btw), ISIS, and whatever Al-Nusra is calling itself this week. The Free Syrian Army was always more of an umbrella term for a bunch of loosely aligned pro-democracy(ish) groups that didn't fit with any of the preceding blocs and and often couldn't even get along with each other. Many of them have been wiped out or absorbed by bigger rebel groups and many of the ones that are left are essentially just independent local militias or puffed-up proxies for the US, Turkey, Iran, the Gulf States, Russia, or whoever else. Mister Olympus posted:This is like Moonlight where it's pretty much just a big city movie except for Florida, where it's popular because it's set in Florida. Incidentally, this is also why the last 10-20 years have seen a dramatic increase in the number of big Hollywood movies that happen to have one or more famous Indian/Chinese/Japanese/European/Latin American actors rounding out the cast. As foreign grosses (and investment) have become more important to the industry and foreign film industries more established, a lot of the industry has shifted to catering to a more explicitly international audience. Casting someone who's famous in Bollywood or Hong Kong might not mean much to an American audience (and their name might not even make it onto the poster), but casting a local favorite in even a small role can still draw big crowds overseas.

ModernMajorGeneral posted:The earliest build of Kaiserreich  Actually, the original 2nd Civil War they had in Kaiserreich didn't use the old North-South divide. Huey Long and the AUS originally has his base of support in only part of the South, along with the Great Plains, while Reed and the Syndicalists were even more Great Lakes-centric and the old US government just hanged on precariously along the east coast: Then they later changed it so that Long just got control of the Old South and have furiously denied that his thing has anything to do with the Confederate States ever since.

iirc, the confederacy is explicitly not in kaiserreich because the mod makers were tired of the "south will rise again" cliche. i get the motivation, but it has always seemed like a weird design decision. same with a lot of the american civil war events, which seem to boomerang between "somewhat plausible" and "absolutely bonkers but fun gameplay."

Does Singapore also count as a single municipality, or is it technically split into several cities or anything like that?

If the US dissolved right now there'd be a new Confederacy within a week, like hell there wouldn't be in 1936. The Kingfish Confederacy would be a good title, look for my six-book series coming 2018.

Badger of Basra posted:% of population in urban areas, 2015 It's largest city is more of a big town than anything. It's an anglophone country if that clears it up. And the french part is only orange because it's a core territory of France and so share's it's color. The French and English settlements in south-america were pretty much just Caribbean trading posts.

'Urban' in this case is generally defined as a concentration of people that meets certain criteria, it doesn't have to be a huge number or what people would consider to be a proper city. Even with that in mind, I am surprised at North America.

Take a look at these places on google maps and you'll see that there are just a few settlements on the water's edge and the rest is just massive undeveloped jungle.

Phlegmish posted:'Urban' in this case is generally defined as a concentration of people that meets certain criteria, it doesn't have to be a huge number or what people would consider to be a proper city. For the US, about 50% of the population lives in about 2.5% of the land area, and then another 31% lives in the next 2.5%. The remaining 95% of the land area contains just 19% of the population.  On this map, you get the first 50% of the population on the 2 bottom colors more or less, 2500-5000 and >5000 per square mile. 1000-2500 and the upper edge of 500-1000 provides the next 31%, if you include all of 500-1000 then you get something like the next 40% instead from the extra area covered.

I was pretty surprised at Mongolia because their population density is so low as a whole, so that probably means that there are huge swaths of the country with literally no one living in them.

Ulaanbaatar, their only city, has more than 50% of the countries population. They still have a sizeable nomad population, about 25% I think? Rapidly shrinking and its been a few years since I looked, but yeah. Nomad pastoralist population density numbers are only slightly higher than the Indian oceans population density. e: Check out Baruun-Urt on satellite. It's pretty typical of towns outside of Ulaanbaatar and those Soviet built mining towns up north. Most of the houses are those weird tent plots because most of the population are still semi-nomadic.
