PDM's starting 1836 World Map. For a larger province-by-province map, see here
PDM adds a huge number of new country tags to Victoria 2 (many of them coming from New Nations Mod). Most of these countries are potential revolters that exist only as cores on the map at game-start, but a number of new countries have been added to the starting 1836 setup.
- Vanilla Victoria 2 has 214 country tags (1.4 beta patch).
- The current version of PDM has 446 country tags (version 4.4.4), though not all of them are currently in-use.
(Note: Only nations that are not in vanilla Victoria 2 are listed.)
