Another possibility...
I think adding in Mexico as a potential break-away country is a fine idea. I think Spain needs some more foils, as they almost always wipe out the Aztecs and secure themselves countless goldmines in the process. Yeech.
Or you could add in the Hurons, if they are not already included. The Iriquios and Hurons were dire enemies and both native tribes allied themselves with encroaching European powers (England and France, respectively). Adding the Hurons could create some interesting conflicts in the new world.
Cheers.

I think Hartmann sad the game can`t handle a split of Poland and Lithuania.

I'd love to play an independent Lithuania, just cause I'm Lithuanian and nationalistic pride and all. =)
TheLotus,
You could always make your own scenario in which Lithuania is independent. However, the problem with including it in the IGC as Hartmann said is that it and Poland never merge into a single country.
Hartmann,
What would be the earliest date that Mexico could form?

How about Mantua? or Ferrara(roughly Emilia)?
Perhaps even Siena.
Also maybe Pisa as a revolter?
Lets add those.

Native American Tribes Needed!
Good call! Maybe we don't need Huron, but what about the Sioux (or as they call themselves, the Lakota). I mean, it wasn't just natives that the Colonists fought but Indian nations. Only having the Iriquois makes colonizing North America WAY to easy. I propose adding the Sioux/Lakota, who were the most warlike Indian tribe and one of the most powerful.
I don't think we should add Mexico if we can add Indian tribes in North America, such as the Huron, Sioux, Apache, Cherokee, Mayan, etc.

I voted for Boer Republic, just because I like the thought of some of those undefended colonies biting someone in the bum, but it seems like maybe the idea of having some sort of native empire in N. America besides the 1 might be good in terms of some sort of resistance. I'm not that experienced, so you'll apologize if I'm just making an idiot of myself, but that's my 2 cents.
I voted for one of the Indochinese oens initially but I have to like the idea of filling up North America a bit more now.
Also, no one is expecting the N. American indigenous to actually stand up to the europeans or anything, that makes no historical sense, but anything that delays total colonization until a more sensible time is good, you know? Seems like the age of heavy colonziation moves a little too fast. Impediments to that would be nice.
I think that adding the Huron would speed things up, not slow them down. It would be a cakewalk to conquer them, since they have no fortifications or anything, just like the Iroquois.
I think adding Mantua would be the most interesting thing to do, it would change the situation in Italy a lot, and add a lot of flair in the region.

Actually, good call, I didn't think of that. Native societies speed things up, since they can be taken over so easily... Also, I have no idea, is the attrition rate really high in places like uninhabited N. America or anything? I'm honestly not experienced enough to know...
Attrition rate is pretty high, but what is worse is that there ar etribals who will fight you every step of the way.
So Yannelis, are you now playing Venice?
Seen any posts by Strom lately or has he been swamped by schoolwork?

Are revolt countries tied to certain dates? Even if the same American areas listed revolted earlier than historical dates there is no reason that these specific names and iconic devices will be the same as their 19th century incarnations. I think Brasil would still be called Brasil, but Argentina could just as well be called La Plata, Mexico as New Spain.
And what would these countries be called and devices used if another country colonized the same area? I haven't played any other country but England yet and haven't progressed beyond a few colonies to see what names are used for areas that revolt in the Americas, Africa or Asia under a different country other than the historical country that colonized the area.

Well, I don't mind if it slows things up or speeds things up, but I think that Indian tribes in the Americas, especially North America are severly lacking. These were great societies that weren't always the easiest to conquer (it took until 1890 for the US to finish the Sioux/Lakota resistance).

I have done some research. The possible revolter now named 'Mexico' should be properly called 'New Spain' within our timespan. This will also have the advantage that I have a complete list of the historical Vice Roys of New Spain at my hands. The flag, which is Castille&Leon is shown here
