So sorry about not getting back to you guys earlier. I'm fine with the concessions of bolded states and l the italicized ones. I guess I'll take France, though my initial reason for not including them or the UK were initially France has less in common with the other nations and splendid isolation, respectively.

Edit: Does anyone want the other Scandinavian countries?

I only care if you want the Baltics or Moldova. Cause then we'll have war. At the moment the Soviet Empire only has Ukraine and Belarus, though.
