Where's Nation Z. It's not on the map. Or is it known? _________________

Well, they did mention Nation Z in BN4. But we never got a chance to see it, or even have an idea of which continent it's in. _________________ The name is Warp "Ligia" Obscura. *Cocks gun to shoot mispellers* |

I'm sure hypothetically speaking, Nation Z could be a subset of one of the larger contries on the map for now. Or it may very well be its own landmass, and we have no clue where it is located yet. _________________ Today, these three players are after Big Bucks!

Nation Z (or X, w/e it is...) sounds like it might be a joke on some countries that have been responsible for terrorist attacks or dictatorship...of couse we can see that Wily and Regal look nothing like those nationalities, but you get it right? |

I wouldn't bother looking for clues of nationality in character's appearance. It's common enough in any anime where you'll rarely get a Japanese character looking any different from an American character, even with Capcom and their love of stereotypes. I don't have any theories on Nation Z myself at the moment, but it could be really, really small. I'm guessing it would be a European thing, that seems to fit the bill. It may be a small subset of Amerope then. How small? I'm thinking of something like this, from an upcoming AXE ep. Quote: | “Wait,” Jake interrupted, “what the hell is Zmallvania?”
“Not ‘Zmallvania,’ but ‘Zmallvania,’ yez!”
“Uh, right. Smallvania. What the hell is it?”
“It iz of being my country, yez! The zize of zis ztreet corner, yez! Zmallest country in zee world, yez! |
No, I haven't added Smallvania to the map yet either, but it would be right inside Crescent City. :P We're going on the theory that since Amerope is part Europe it has a bunch of little nations hiding in it that nobody's ever heard of. |

Isn't there a world map in the fourth game that tells where are the places located? _________________ Avatar by May, many flowers and thanks for the wonderful avatar. |

They mentioned Nation Z as a military nation, so North Korea pops out in my mind. Even though Wily and Regal don't look remotely Korean.
Creamland? It's an island, and it has a royal family, so I say Britain.
And Darkland, for some reason I say Germany. They tried to invade Creamland once, didn't they? No offense to any German users here.
And Raijin, can I have a blank copy of your awesome map? I want to do some interpreting of my own. |

Nameste I figured was India, cause like India, it's chock full of curry.
Jack, Gauss & Tesla are from Kingland, also it should be Europe cause 1, it had castle like buildings like the Zap estate & 2, it had the lock ness monster (Elasmosaurus as put in the anime)
& in the episode with Torakichii when he was fighting Deep Grey the computer it was Swapopolis & the statue of liberty was outside o0 so it was probably NY or something _________________ I bleed Therefore I exist

I mean on Raijin's map. He seemed to have forgot it.
How could I have not thought of Hawaii? I always thought Jawaii was South America. It might be Hawaii. _________________ Original name: blazequest |

My map is purely game-based. I don't include places only mentioned in the Anime. That includes Jawaii, Kingland, Darkland, Namaste, and probaby more I forgot. I'd include Nation Z if I knew where it was. The map shape is based purely off the one shown in EXE4, which is almost the same as the real world map except slightly disfigured in some places, which I accented when drawing it up. They show the anime world map at one point too, in the second episode of season 2 (the Aki episode), when Madd screams about being left in Japan, the camera zooms out to right over the earth, and you can see it looks exactly like the real world. So key differences there.

I didn't think ahead enough when I first made it and thanks to my lack of foresight there is no blank version. I rue that every time I have to edit it and have to carefully erase the text without disturbing the shading. I've been planning on re-doing the whole thing for a while. When I get around to that, I'll post the blank version for you.
I don't know why I stuck Creamland in Greenland's place. Probably because I was holding off in case Kingland was ever mentioned in the games.

O_o I don't rememebr seeing the statue of liberty in Swapopolis in that episode. Either way, Swapopolis is definitely in Japan. I forget what "Swapopolis" was originally, but it was an actual place in western Japan. That whole episode was about an east-west Japan rivalry thing. |

Thanks, Raijin. You're a great help.
