-City state names are randomized (e.g. Despite Egypt being set as the name of a city state in the SDK, the name is randomized in-game)
-"India should be counted as a british colony, not as its own nation!!" I know. It might get changed in the "1900 World Redux 2: Redux Harder: Exciting Colonial Management Edition" version, but until then you'll just have to settle with it being a member of the British Commonwealth, which technically shouldn't exist yet but does in here for gameplay purposes.

-Chilean cities are now less completely devoid of life and population! Just like real l- oh, wait.

-The Ohio River geographical feature is now a thing in America.
-Angolan capital "Luandra" has been properly changed to "Luanda".
-Poland has been removed from the game as a civilization; it is now a city-state. It was removed to make room for Portugal on the civilization list, as there is a maximum of 22 allowed by the SDK. It will be returning as a playable civilization in a future update.
