North Caucasian Federal District?

Hey...just noticed that this is one of the newer Federal districts of The Russian Federation, and it's not on the map. Is it because it was fine keeping it "Russia: South" or maybe this just wasn't on anyone's mind? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Caucasian_Federal_District

Oh come on guys, none of you comment? ;_;

No one is as smart as u chris.

lol, Wikipedia.

Too long. And it doesn't even include Volgograd (formerly Stalingrad, before that Tsaritsyn) or Rostov-na-Donu which are currently in Russia:South.

"Russia: Caucasia" would work, wouldn't it? And why does it need Volgograd? It's a completely different district...

Caucasia isn't actually a word. What you're talking about is the Caucasus mountain range. Which is way more south than Volgograd.

See, at first I thought you just wanted to rename the region which would make it inaccurate, but now you want to split it.
Okay. But that's a bad idea I think because there are no large cities there. We can't artificially inflate populations.

I don't think the developers like splitting up countries anyway; they only split up Russia and other big countries as a balance measure. They want to keep it as close to real-life as possible, which means countries don't get split into myriads of chunks!

Well, the only reason I brought it up was because I knew Ivan and Amok based most of the split countries on Federal Districts or other sorts of terms, but when I went to look at the wiki articles I saw the North Caucasus there and thought maybe they left it out or something.

Now that you say this.... I kinda agree with you.

I'm sorry, this would be a pretty pointless division. Yes, we used existing districts to split up Russia, but it doesn't mean we need to follow this rule to the letter.
