First look at Turkey map (updated 28/07)
Coming soon to Countries & Continents 2 Map Pack is Turkey!
Thanks to all our Turkish players who were VERY VOCAL about this :)
Here's some facts about Turkey that I found to drop into dinner conversation and feel much more cultured.
1: The tongue-twisting, 70-letter Muvaffakiyetsizleştiricileştiriveremeyebileceklerimizdenmişsinizcesine, or “as if you are from those we may not be able to easily make a maker of unsuccessful ones,” is thought to be the longest word in Turkish. (But seriously it's thought to be? Can't someone just look this up and confirm?)
2: Santa is from Turkey: Saint Nicholas was born far from the North Pole, in Patara.
3: Istanbul is the only city in the world which straddles two continents: Europe and Asia.

Update 28/07
We have updated the map to reflect Australia's and the rest of the world's foreign policy on Cyprus. We did not intend any offence with this inclusion. Sorry for the stress caused.
When looking at Cyprus from a Turkish angle
The official position of the Turkish government regards the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) as an own, independent state, recognised by Ankara. Therefore it should not be part of the Turkey map.
