Urgul you are totally missing the point. This is getting very frustrating for me. Please try and understand what I am about to write.
You can't call it Israel because the way the territory was drawn it includes more than just Israel. Therefore it needs a name that applies to the whole area.
Compare it to the territory named FGI on the world expanded map. You can't call it France, you can't call it Germany and you can't call it Italy because the territory represents all 3 places. So we made up an abbreviation to name the territory.
This has nothing to do with whether or not the map is historical or modern. It is neither. The lines were drawn for game play. It's impossible to have a map that has both Israel and the Palestinian States as separate territories because the Palestinian States are far too small. Therefore they must be combined and must have a name that can represent the entire land. And as we have stated before, that land has been called Palestine for thousands of years.
This is a risk map, not a political map and not a historical map. For a risk map to work there must be compromises. Look at the United States map. does it have 50 territories? No, it has 43. Are you going to complain that the map is inaccurate because there are only 43 territories? It's a Risk map nothing more. So stop expecting accuracy.
I hope you can sense the frustration in my tone and do us all a favor and drop the subject. I don't want to hear about it anymore.
