Even Balkan region with Italy, Greece, Turkey, Romanian, and such would of been nice to have. Or one dealing with Spain and Portugal with maybe France would of been nice. Even the Baltic States, Ukraine, and Georgia with some of her more interesting neighbors would have been nice. India Sub continent and China would of been treasures too. I know it seems like lot of material, but for how fast they were cranking this stuff out, and the thing they alluded too, would have made the game more complete in my opinion...

There was some talk about a Korea Sourcebook, but then came the PG1 Sourcebook and then the disaster with the follow-up sourcebook leaving the company with a major cash-flow problem (their contract with WalMart required them to buy back any unsold sourcebooks; can we say goat-screwed?), and just as they were recovering, along came Magic the Gathering and the death of the old wargaming side of the hobby.
Don't get me wrong MoG is a fun, pretty game for the munckins and when the hobby stores had the choice of buying collectible card games and getting the rapid return or buying traditional games and watching them gather dust on the shelf, can't blame them for going for profit.
But it is still such a shame that so many great companies fell to the wayside.
