They really need to add demonyms in America:Homefront
In America:Homefront, there are no national demonyms. In the newspaper, when a Europe or World map will give then name of the country and the relevant adjective, it'll just say things like "Missouri occupies the [] capital" with no name given.
Obviously demonyms are difficult in a game set in an American Warring States period (what is the adjective for Indiana?), but given all the wonderful things the developers have managed to do, it almost seems lazy. Even putting "of Indiana" would work.
Just a thought.
Thank you, developers, for designing this map, though

We had nation adjectives in the past. For example in the past it said something like "The 1st yucatanian Armored Car Brigade" instead of "The 1st Armored Car Brigade (Yucatan)".
We deliberately got rid of them because they are a translation nightmare. In many languages sentence structure is different. Those sentences always seemed grammatically broken and it made the whole translation more expensive and map design time longer due to figuring out all the adjectives.
Screen space is also a thing, especially on mobile. In the screenshot an "of Indiana" in the headline would already force a linebreak. Add that to all articles and the newspaper requires suddenly alot more scrolling.
