It is a good map, which plays reasonably fast and has well-defined sides.

@rogercooper yeah another one is the communist having like 10 in a town in Siberia when St.Petersburg is only 3. IMO I use it less as the production capability of a province but more as how important it is to say nation (Mexico city being 7 would now make a lot more sense since Germany has a political and military presence in another country's capital)
