Goa

A small part of the Indian coast was controlled by Portugal (also small islands and territories by France and Portugal not needed becuz too small). So if you can add Hong Kong and even Macau then why not Goa? Goa was Portuguese since the medical times till the 60's .

Also Hong Kong and Macau respect their foreign history-India does not
In your logic, Germany shouldn't be Nazi as Germans are hiding their past. Africa shouldn't be colonized as African players will hate it. Korea shouldn't be japanese. Czechoslovakia shouldn't be German. Indonesia shouldn't be Dutch. Malaysia shouldn't be British. New Guinea shouldn't be Aussie. Namibia shouldn't be South African.

Bhutan and Nepal were independent. Burma wasn't part of British Raj. Instead ruled directly by Britain. Did you pass your history test?

Lol, that's almost like saying Trump won the election by a landslide... I'd estimate it more like 1% or less.

Btw, when were "medical times"? Was it when Florence Nightingale introduced modern medicine during the Crimean war? ;)

I don't get his point, even is 1/4 is Indian, why will they leave just to see a map more historical?

"Imperial Russia" was wiped of the world over 15 years before.

Ukraine and Belorus weren't independent countries. Caucasus never was a state at all.

USA wasn't split in "N.USA" and "S.USA" on the 22p map, let alone into a dozen national states on the 100p map

On the 100p map, same for Australia, Brazil, Argentina, Indonesia, China, India, Soviet Union, etc etc

Romania has kind of weird borders on most maps, often even including their arch enemy Hungary

All those Pacific islands didn't really have large cities with production facilities

Not all countries had equal economic power

Andorra, Monaco, Liechtenstein, San Marino and Vatican city don't feature on any maps

the list goes on...

point in case:

It isn't really a world map, it's just loosely based on it

I'M TALKING ABOUT THE HISTORICAL WORLD WAR

Alright, calm down. I don't know much about this Goa stuff previously, but after doing some research, I found that Goa is a small province, slightly bigger than Hong Kong although much bigger than Macau.

Based on the little available information from Wikipedia regarding its history, especially zero mention of its significance in WW2, I would say it is only a marginal territory of Portugal which served little to no purpose in WW2 (any Indians, please correct me if I'm wrong). Meanwhile, for Macau and Hong Kong (Hong Kong especially), there was at least a mention of their roles in WW2. Macau served a very minor role as Portugal was neutral in WW2, being unofficially "occupied" by the Japanese and bombarded by US forces late-war. Hong Kong, meanwhile, was under Japanese occupation from 1941-1945, being attacked on the same morning as the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, showing its relative strategic importance to the Japanese.

What's the point in explaining all of this? Different to the tiny territories of HK and Macau, Goa was a very minor territory that didn't serve any role, at least any major role, in WW2. Now, granted, it was part of Portugal, but should the historic map include such a territory? I don't think so.

TL;DR - two reasons why Goa shouldn't be included in the historic map as a Portuguese colony: 1) It is very tiny on the map. 2) Compared to even smaller territories like Hong Kong and Macau, Goa didn't play a role in the war, being part of neutral Portugal.

It is bigger than Macau, and Hong Kong, why it shouldn't be added, it isn't as small as Puducherry or dadra haveli diu islands that are not possible to see. Even if it didn't play a role. We'll just forget it was Portuguese? Boliva played no part in the war, nor did Portugal, why are they on the map? Goa can be seen it's not THAT tiny.
