Ok, so all greenies, wait till the last 10 minutes to vote, so like that the tie can be broken and green can claim victory!
I like green. A lot.
Perhaps, but keep in mind this'll represent the Russian Federation as well (and, if we go by current OTL map conventions, Muscovy and the Kievan Rus).
Greece and Byzantium, and Alexander's Macedonian empires are all the same shade. Honestly, I'm still confused why small countries like Romania, Bulgaria, etc, actually need UCS colors, but I guess that's not the general consensus.
I don't know. There seems to be a fair number that aren't averse to the Balkans-and-near countries that don't have islands/territory isolated from other territory losing their colours, if they have them.
I remember from one of the UCS threads when they where deciding whether to give Ethiopia/Axum a color, one of the main components to deserving a color was having disjointed territory, control over islands, etc that would make it necessary to show who owns what, so imo, Genoa would be deserving of a color.
Another point was a fairly significant impact on world events, and I don't mean to sound racist or hating on small countries, but when we start throwing in four or five shades of every color just to allow every Gran Columbia successor state, and every state in the Balkans their own color, it just kind of clutters stuff up you know?

I complained a few pages back. No one said anything. Methinks the greens are running scared.
Greece and Serbia/Yugoslavia seem to trade who gets Byzantium's purple based on the Map's creator(if Serbia gets it then Greece is a blue that is similar to the color often used for Rumania). Or at least that's been my perception(I realize the established rule is that Greece gets Byzantium's purple).
Well, the base-map people are updating the Worlda map, and, from what I gather, are planning to update the OTL maps when that's done. Since the OTL Worlda maps uses the UCS...
The greens don't look all that similar, so it's not as bad as it might seem at first glance.
Also Russia and Spain are much closer right now, which is annoying if you have a more colonial Russia or any Spanish influence near Russia.
