South American Map - Wrong Country Names and Provinces (Argentina)

$

Hello.

First of all, thanks for finally release this map! But, as an Argentinian citizen, i must say the map has lots of bugs.

I understand the territorial division in big countries such as Argentina and Brazil, but you have to correct some facts to be as historically accurate as possible.

For example:

Instead of North and South Argentina, those countries should be renamed to Argentinian Confederation and State of Buenos Ayres respectively, like it's displayed in this map:

Attachment 10336

Let me be clear with this, i'm not pretending to change the borders, or add/quit provinces.. i'm just saying that the names actually in display are not accurate.
The provinces also have some minor bugs, for example:

South Argentina (State of Buenos Ayres)


  • Uschuaia should be renamed to Usuhaia
  • Rio Gallegos should be Santa Cruz, which is the name of the Province. (Rio Gallegos is the capital of that province)


  • El Calafate should be Lago Argentino, which is the name of the department that contains the city of Calafate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lago_Argentino_Department
  • Rawson should be renamed to Chubut, which is the name of the Province (Rawson is the capital of that Province)
  • Comodoro Rivadavia is okey, but it could be change also to "Paso de Indios".
  • Neuquén has to be renamed to Rio Negro. Like its shown in this map: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index...na).svg&page=1
  • Santa Rosa has to be renamed to La Pampa, which is the name of the Province. (Santa Rosa is the capital of that Province)
  • In my opinion, Mar del Plata has to be renamed to Costa Atlántica, which is the name we used when we go there on vacation (it's a tourism zone)
  • Buenos Aires should be renamed to Buenos Ayres, which was the name used until 1940's


North Argentina (Argentinian Confederation)


  • ​San Fernando del Valle de Catamarca should be renamed to Catamarca, which is the name of the Province. (San Fernando is the capital)
  • Cordabo has to be renamed to Cordoba, the proper name of the province.
  • Rosario, in my opinion has to be renamed to Paraná, which was the capital of the Argentinan Confederation.
  • Presidencia Roque Saenz Peña, has to be renamed to Gran Chaco, which is the region that limits with Paraguay.
  • Resistencia has to be renamed to Mesopotamia. Like its shown in this article: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia_argentina


But, if you want to be REALLY historically accurate, should be aware that in 1914, most of the Provinces of both countries were occupied by indigeneous.

South Argentina (State of Buenos Ayres)


  • Uschuaia should be changed to Ona Territory
  • Rio Grande should be changed to Yamaní Territory
  • Rio Gallegos should be changed to Patagon Territory
  • El Calafate should be changed to Tehuelche Territory
  • Comodoro Rivadavia should be changed to Mapuche Territory
  • Rawson should be changed to Welsh Colony or (Y Wladfa), like its shown in this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y_Wladfa
  • Neuquen should be changed to Puelche Territory
  • Santa Rosa should be changed to Rankulche Territory
  • Mar del Plata should be changed to Pampa's Territory
  • Buenos Aires to Buenos Ayres


North Argentina (Argentinian Confederation)


  • Just Presidencia Roque Saenz Peña to Toba Territory


FYI: I used this maps as a reference:

Also, Argentine Confederation Flag should be change to this one:

The President, should be Jose Esteban Perdernera, who was the last President of the Country instead of Roque Saenz Peña. The President of the State of Buenos Ayres should be Bartolomé Mitre, who was the first president of the re-unificated República Argentina. The flag of this country should be this one:

With this, I, as argentine, think is the most accurate version of the country division shown in the game. I would really pleased if you at least, consider some of the points i explained above.

Cheers
