Greenland and Iceland should be their own areas.

It's really weird in my custom nation game for Greenland to be called "Trinidadian Subarctic Islands" and not "Trinidadian Greenland", especially since it is it's own landmass and the map label is never going to be merged into a larger region.

Areas should never be smaller than 3 provinces. That's why they're grouped.

Corollary: Greenland and Iceland should both get a province in order to bring them up to an area size.

but that would make it wealthier and I guess that wouldn't be realistic.

You're right because they all have 3 development they can't be divided, I wish development would be more detailed.

yes

 

[Utretch]

Honestly they should be their own regions, but it'd be a bit extreme to be giving provinces to areas that honestly don't need as many as they already do. (Does Greenland or Iceland need more than 1 province really?) Just seems like an unfortunate clash of design philosophy and the real world.

Is there no chance of adding provinces to Greenland and Iceland to bring them up to that limit?

You could split Iceland into four
- Reykjavik
- North West
- North East
- South


Kind of like this, these are current constituencies of Iceland

And with Greenland, more provinces could be added on the East coast where Eric the Red landed. There were also various Norse settlements all along the coast, not just the West.

Aren't the 2 islands Foroe and forgot the other one a 2 province region? because Shetland is part of GB.

Edit: Nvm they are already part of the region. Should just split it up then (the region). Give one island to Iceland region, and one to Greenland region. The islands are small enough to not display Iceland / Greenland when zoomed out and it would be a work around to get the "right" names to show on Iceland and Greenland without violating the min 3 province rule.

Eric the Red landed right on the southern tip of Greenland. "Eric the Red Land" was simply a construct created by Norway in the 1930s to try to create a claim on Greenland, which was later rejected.

All the medieval settlements (which were likely gone just before the game starts) and the modern settlements (which started in 1721) during the game period were in the currently accessible provinces in the game.

Ah, but I guess the point still stands, adding one or two more provinces to Greenland and Iceland wouldn't be to much of an issue.
