I'm with you! I've actually modded my Civ III to show the British spellings of names, like "Aquaeduct" and "Modern Armour." Nothing bugs me more than Americanised spellings ...
... but hey, it's an American game  
PS: I'm not trying to take the piss out of any Americans, just a matter of personal preference

Do you use the British way of spelling in New Zealand? I thought you used the American way, sorry!

I think British spellings are humorous… “English is our language… really…”

The Euro box is much nicer. The American box makes us look like all us Americans understand is WWF and beef jerky.

Atleast Italy is on the map. Denmark is completely removed! 
But I like the EU box better too.

Just a quick note: if it was the EU box, many countries would not be included on the map. It is the Europe box.
EU is not Europe
