Why no Venezeula?

Seems that with the likes of Pat Robertson making US foreign policy now ( , all kinds of hypothetical scenarios are possible involving Venezuela.

Since WinMBT comes with OOBs for Paraguary, Bolivia etc, why no Venezuela?

I suspect because nobody pushed hard for Venezuela, and nobody did a Venezuela orbat.

Exactly right. At the time there were 90 nations ( there are 92 now ) and Venezuela didn't make the short list.

Green does for Central/Southern nations not specifically given an OOB.

Actually I'm surprised Mexico didn't make the short list.

Or Algeria, for that matters.

Don, Andy, are there plans for adding new countries in any foreseeable future?
If so, which ones are on the top of the list?

Thanks

Duh, forget I said that

Make that Morocco, that could be useful (what with being Algeria already)!

Out of curiosity, what was the criteria for putting Switzerland in?
I have heard that the soviets had contingency plans for invading them (the sort of stuff which begins to make sense after the third bottle of Vodka, I suspect) but apart from that I do not see much else.Why them instead of let's say Kuwait or Mexico?

Maybe because there are alot more Swizz players of the game than people living in Kuwait or Mexico?

The fact that Sweden was in the game got me interested and evntually hooked on SPMBT. (Besides the fact that I had been playing all other SP installments for ages.
