Am I the only one who thinks Warner Brothers when we use WB?

Definitely no .

[Silverwing]

Is there a better shorthand response for West Balkans?  Maybe we can just make it completely random.

West Balkans is now officially shortened to ZX. 

I can't wait for the ZX update. 

[timmelon]

Come on, didn’t you forget they already did a ZX update?

Maybe, we can call the new update as NG — not «new generation», but «No Greece», because it’s one of the first question which comes up when you see the list of countries.

[Silverwing]

Crap!  Literally the FIRST thing I say has already been taken!

NO GREECE.  That could work.... though I think everyone will wonder what 'NG' because they will forget.

How come all the other updates had silly names like "Going East" or "Vive la France," or "Going further east, (lol I made that one up)"

This is just WEST BALKANS.    Could they not come up anything clever?  When they release Greece will they go back to clever names like, "This Is Sparta DLC?"

[timmelon]

It’s a wishful thinking, but what if Greece will come in a bundle with the rest of Turkey?
Because... all southern part of Europe will be covered, except of Greece. How it can be possible? Or... they are planning to include Greece after release, like they have added two big islands much later than Italian and French DLC's.

[Silverwing]

I was actually going to say in my previous post, maybe they will include more of Turkey?  Because we all know Greece and Turkey have such a long-standing great relation.   Um.... They could also add Cyprus? 

Relations aside, it would make a lot of sense to have Greece and more of Turkey added... though would this be considered Asia?  They usually say Europe ends at Istanbul's west side. 

But let's just say they will will do Greece for now.  I could see them adding the island of Crete / Kriti as a free add-on at a later time. It would be a smaller DLC if it is only Greece.

When they were making HoR, it is clear their intent was to someday add Belarus and Ukraine.  This would fill in what most consider all of Europe (once they'd finish Greece too). 

There would be just one EU country left off still.  Ireland. 

Depending on how you define Europe, most agree is doesn't include some maps say it includes eastern Turkey, Georgia, or Azerbaijan.

But it DOES include a bit of Kazakstan!!! I can't wait for the Kazak DLC!!!

[Silverwing]

I can't wait for the Kazak DLC!!!

When Kazakstan is in the game,  , I will eat the Kazakstan national dish of horse meat, qurt, and quwyrdaq with a heaping plate of besbarmaq.........

[timmelon]

Hmmm... Kazakhstan is something like Nevada from USSR .

Israel and Australia took their part on Eurovision song contest, so, adding Turkey to ETS is not a big deal for me.

[RainySunshine]

I personally don't care how far they expand.  But I know their are some European's who are very . . . .  particular.  Hopefully that is a nice way of saying that.

I think the more the merrier.  It's fun to see more and in return learn more about other places and cultures.

Maybe by then it will be called Trucking Simulator World.

Australia is part of the "west."  You know... the WEST which is made up of the USA, all of North America, Europe, Australia, Japan, South Korea, and other allies.

THE WEST. 

[RainySunshine]

Australia is part of the "west."  You know... the WEST which is made up of the USA, all of North America, Europe, Australia, Japan, South Korea, and other allies.

THE WEST.

This is exactly why the middle east should be called the 'near east' and what we call the 'east' can be the 'far east.'

Oh geography nomenclature is so mixed up.

[Silverwing]

I hear the US State of Ohio will be in Eurovision 2025.   

[timmelon]

No doubts Japan and SK are the west... if use US-centric map .

So this is interesting to me.  In my history and geography textbooks, the world maps always look liked this.  We never split Asia.  Though sometimes when you had non-mercator maps they would do stretched things like this.  What I am saying is our text books never used a US Centric map when showing the world.
