As everyone knows, there are no muslims in India or Hindus in Pakistan.

What's on your mind, Axa?

Apparently, as of the 2011 census, 79.8% of the population is Hindu, and Islam is second with 14.23%. The only Indian state that's majority Muslim is Jammu and Kashmir, which is, well, a bit controversial. I would assume that site's only choosing the majority religion in the area, just like Paradox.

As far as it goes, if they aren't making money and are, it seems, using it only a basis for the system which apparently will be editable by the "community" in the future, I don't see the issue here.

Unless Paradox copyrighted history recently.

Clausewitz 3 should just render everything on a sphere to stop the projection-whiners. Also it would look really badass.

A sphere? What kind of pandering to babby casuals is this? If they don't render Earth properly as an oblate ellipsoid, consider my pre-order cancelled.

If you can't copyright history why have I been paying $10 for all of these non-fiction digests :argh:

They've probably got grounds for a cease and desist between the map look and who knows how many ahistorical gotchas that have crept into the scenario files. The guys at PDS would probably say "oh weird" but there's probably a team of lawyers at PI that would have a field day.

Hey, if there's a guy from Paradox reading this thread, you may definitely want to check out this site because I'm not entirely sure about it's legality. It's notable because it pretty much completely copies a bunch of stuff from the history folders of various paradox games, right down to the culture names and nation colors ... although I can't really say it does it very well, which these screenshots stand as a testament to:


(Note the date on the latter picture!)

In my country there is problem.

Jews fleeing the Holocaust are not in any way comparable to North Africans, who don't flee genocide but want to enjoy the social welfare systems of Northern Europe.
I hope no one looking for historical inaccuracies on some lovely non-profit project site is going to make fun of the people on the PDX forums, who complain about historical inaccuracies in PDX games in the future.

I expect a website meant to be a historical database and atlas to provide a better representation of national borders over time and what nations actually exist than I do a video game, if that's what you mean.

That said, PDX needs to flesh out China more. :cheeky:

It's a first "beta" (actually it should be called alpha because it's not feature complete) without the ability for the community to edit the files. The data is not meant to be accurate, that's what the community should provide later on.

Be honest, are you the person who created this website by directly stealing stuff from Europa Universalis 4?

Hell, if you zoom in enough the provinces even have the same names as the default provinces in 1444 EU4.

To that extent it looks like it has potential. In the meantime, however, we should never forget the 1861 British invasion and the Treason of Maine:

Not only the names, the provinces thenselves. And is not even determined by date, even in 1990 the provinces are the same fictitious EU4 ones .
