From the Origin Mass Effect 3 footage.

Last time I checked Montenegro and Kosovo are independent.



This is just minor annoyance for using outdated map of Europe.

sup dude, this is like 300 years in the future.

Italy might be called "boot peninsula land" now for all we know.

 I'm surprised Europe wouldn't just be one big nation in the future.

Yeah, it's funny how Earth's political boundaries have not changed at all in 200 years...

Serbia was bored and invaded Montenegro in the 2070's because they wanted their navy back.

Turkey and Syria also seem to have unified. :P

Anyway, I'm not concerned.  It's not as though men will be wearing the same kinds of suits in the 2180s as they are now, will they?  It was a fun little spot, nothing more.

The real thing that's messed up about that map is that it assumes borders in Europe and the surrounding area will be unchanged almost 200 years from now.:P

Highly unlikely.

If there was a war then they would also have Republika Srpska( state in Bosnia and Hercegovina) while Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Brčko district under either UN, USE or Croatian control protection.


But that's too political now.

There is border between Norway and Sweeden. Just it's hard to see do to poor image quality and snowy mountains.

I am shocked and appalled to think that noone has conquered France in 2 centuries. For shame Bioware, if you want the game to be realistic SOMEONE has to conquer France.

We know the European Union still exists in the 22nd century, but we don't know if it's still just a confederation of separate, sovereign nations, or if it's evolved into a single, unified state itself by then. Given its description as competing against the United North American States and the Chinese People's Federation over certain colonies, I'm inclined to think the latter.

BioWare, please wipe out all the borders in this map in the final release.

It is completely unbelievable that they stay largely the same 170 years in the future. Or even countries exist in the future,

Countries have existed for thousands of years. Why would they stop existing 170 years from now?

"Final release"?  You think that this is going in the game?

According to many experts humans always band together against common threats. First there were groups, then clans, then villages, then towns, then kingdoms, etc. In the event of a war between, say, Earth and Mars no country would be stupid enough to say "Nah, I think I'll just sit this one out." Similarly, when the conflict is between solar systems it would make no sense for individual planets to sit things out.

This theory has been proven time and again in history, as in 490BCE when the Greek city-states agreed to unite themselves under Athenian leadership to fight off the forces of Persia and then unite again in 480BCE under Spartan leadership.

And within a few months after the victories of the united Greeks over the Iranians at Plataia and Mykale in 479 BC, the league spun apart; a fragment of it was converted into the Athenian Empire, and within thirty years the formerly united Greeks were locked in combat - while Athens was still fighting the Achaemenid Iranian Empire.

Yeah, unity in the face of a threat is never a given. Besides, humanity wasn't facing a threat until the First Contact War.

The same reason tribes and city states went away.
