Which world map is this?

Don't most nation start in Europe, and thus fight each other for the sites? Vanheim, Jotunheim, Man, Pangaea, Ermor/Pythium, Marignon, etc.
In e.g. South America, with less competition you can grab more provinces -> potentially more sites.

It's just Europe... not any parts of Russia, etc... and it's unbalanced since about 7 provinces are all jammed together with the high income and high magic site bonus.

Didn't Europe have more resources than the other parts of the World? Or at least, weren't the Europeans the first to use e.g. Coal to power machines, and thus first to industrialize, and then able to share the rest of the world between themselves?

Did you even look at the map in the editor... it's WAY TOO MUCH... I'm shocked you'd try to justify it.
Many unique achievements and inventions were made all over the world... China first to use gunpowder and the USA has a HUGElist of their own.
