1) I think Cohen took abysia since he thinks abysia is one of the most powerful nations around ( they have good blood and decent troops -- a very powerful combination ).
2) The starting position on this variant of the map is not nearly as painful as on the full faerun map. In this map he has decent provinces around him. His nearest neighbor seem to be T'ien Ch'i, widely considered one of the less powerful nations. Jotunheim is also somewhat close. But not really that close.
