Just a note as a player in this RP, I enjoy the systems. I enjoy the fact that my race has some actual combat advantage over Humans other than people just taking my word for it. I Enjoy the fact that I have to define my armies rather than just give rough estimates. I enjoy a lot of these things because they're different, and clearly the rest of the players here do too, or they [i]wouldn't[/i] be here. 
I do find it somewhat unusual that this guy, who is not part of the RP and has never expressed any sort of interest in joining, has resolved to come into your thread and tell you that you're doing it wrong. Hell, I find it kind of rude and unfair to you as you've done a hella good job of creating a pretty awesome world and mechanics to go alongside it. I, for one, am glad that the map is modern because I have no idea about 'true' medieval nations, and I doubt many others do too. It would overcomplicate things unnecessarily. 

Also: demonstrating your knowledge of medieval nations to everyone doesn't make us think higher of you. The action in itself is pretty pretentious. 

Fight the power, Hamster!
