You American's confuse me. You have a number of cities with the same name and like to steal other countries cities names (I know, I know it's probably because of colonization but still...)  Liberia. Afican nation. It is one of two countries to have its capital (Monrovia) city named after a US president. You got that part right. It's definitely partially from the colonialism, but it's also from the early immigration feeling better if they had a city with the same name from "back home". So with both of those effects, you get a huge mix of city names. As for why we do have multiple cities with the same name in America is the fact that we are the United STATES of America. A state has partial sovereign rights reserved for their discretion. So cities cannot cross state jurisdiction borders (metro area may, but that's different). Chicago is in Illinois, it cannot cross over to Indiana, but Hammond is a part of Chicago metro area. It's sorta of like Hammond is the Chicago of Indiana but functions seperately as a city, mayor, budget, departments, etc... Cincinnati, Ohio cannot cross over to Kentucky, so there's a Covington, Kentucky that is sorta like the Cincinnati of Kentucky. In short, a state here has more power than a province in your country, but doesn't have the same autonomy as a state in confederation like EU. Province (AUS) < State (USA) < Confederation < Union of Semi-Confederacy (EU) < Full Sovereign Nation-State
Anyway back to the game... (Mount) Nebo, a mountain in the Israel area, known as the last location of Moses. Isn't Kansas city technically in Missouri and Kansas? (Going back on your claim that a city can't cross into another state, correct me if i'm wrong) |

They don't even have the same mayor, that's an easy way to double check if you want to be sure. Both states has Kansas City. Kansas City, MO is bigger and more well-known than Kansas City, KS.

Anyway back to the game... (Mount) Nebo, a mountain in the Israel area, known as the last location of Moses. Interesting, thanks for the edumucation  Oh and Australia has States (Western Australia, Queensland, South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, Tasmania) and two (I think) territories (Australian Capital Territory and Northern Territory) not provinces (but they are basically the same methinks). Back to the game Slovenia one of the Balkan nations. |

Ardennes, région of forests and rough have terrain thought to be ill-suited by the 20th century for large scale military operations until Germany invaded France through the Ardennes to bypass the Maginot line.
