### Asia

Asia has 17 countries playable, and the one of the only doubly landlocked playable nations (Ma-Clique). These nations are:

British Odisha - Leader at first is Lawrence John Lumley Dundas

Communist China - Leader at first is Zhu De

Japan - Leader at first is Saito Makoto

Korea - Leader at first is Kazushige Ugaki

Ma Clique - Doubly Landlocked-Leader at first is Ma Zhongying

Manchukuo - Landlocked-Leader at first is Henry Pu Yi

Mongolia - Landlocked-Leader at first is Anandyn Amar

Nationalist China-Leader at first is Chiang Kai-Shek

North India-Landlocked-Leader at first is Yashwant Rao Holkar II

Pakistan-Leader at first is Muhammad Ali Jinnah

Sichuan - Landlocked-Leader at first is Liu Xiang

South China - Leader at first is Chen Jitang

South India - Leader at first is Osman Ali Khan, Asaf Jah VII

Tibet - Landlocked - Leader at first is Thubten Gyatso

Turkestan - Landlocked - Leader at first is Akmal Ikramowitsch Ikramow

Turkey - Leader at first is Kemal Ataturk

Xinjiang - Landlocked- Leader at first is Ma Shaowu

Ma Clique is doubly landlocked as they have to go through two nations to have ocean access(from the start of the game):Xinjiang-Pakistan, Tibet-British Odisha, Tibet-Burma, Sichuan-Communist China, Sichuan-Nationalist China, Sichuan-South China, Mengjiang-Mukden, Mongolia-Siberia.

There is usually a lot of action in Asia from the amount of countries involved, so if you are a beginner, stay away from this region.

### Central America

There are only 3 playable nations in the region, which are

Caribbean - Leader at first is Ramon Grau San Martin

North Mexico - Leader at first is Nazario Silvestre Oritz Garza

South Mexico- Leader at first is Abelardo Rodriguez Lujan

Here, the Caribbean has an advantage of being islands, allowing it to strike at any nation in vicinity at any time, keep an eye on them if you are near them.

South Mexico has a better geographical position than North Mexico, only bordering them and another AI, while North Mexico has to worry about any forces from Texas invading them. Both do need to keep an eye on the Caribbean in case of a naval invasion.

### Europe

There are 12 playable nations in Europe, which are

Finland - Leader at first is Toivo Mikael Kivimaki

France - Leader at first is Albert Lebrun

Germany - Leader at first is Franz von Papen

Greece- Leader at first is Eleftherios Venizelos

Italy - Leader at first is Benito Mussolini

Poland - Leader at first is Aleksander Prystor

Romania - Leader at first is Iuliu Maniu

Spain - Leader at first is Niceto Alcala Zamora

Sweden - Leader at first is Per Albin Hansson

United Kingdom - Leader at first is Ramsay MacDonald

Yugoslavia - Leader at first is Alexander I Karadordevic

There is usually a large coalition of European nations at the beginning of the game, and Europe is usually the first area to be filled up in any World At War game.

Finland has Russian provinces, but is not included in Russia anyway (The provinces are Murmansk, Apatity, Tetrino, Loukhi, and Kem). Playing as this country, be aware of Sweden and Arkhangelsk, as Sweden borders you, and you are close to Arkhangelsk's capital of Leningrad(which is not a port).

As France, you are surrounded by potential enemies, and you need to make allies or join a European Coalition fast.

In my opinion, Europe isn't a good continent. You don’t have much room to expand, and often the African, Asian, and North American coalitions become more powerful then you and attack you.

### Middle East

There are 4 playable countries in the Middle East, which are

Iraq - Leader at first is Nuri as-Said

Persia - Leader at first is Reza Shah Pahlavi

Saudi Arabia - Leader at first is Ibn Saud

Syria - Leader at first is Muhammad Ali al-Abid

There are enough countries in this region that a coalition can be formed with all of these countries, and there will still be room for one more member. Most of the time, this region is either inactive, or fighting amongst itself to make this coalition a reality.

### North Africa

There are 10 playable countries in North Africa, of which there are:

Algeria - Leader at first is Messali Hadj

Egypt - Leader at first is Fuad I

Ethiopia - Leader at first is Haile Selassie I.

French Sudan - Leader at first is Louis Jacques Eugene Fousse

Libya - Leader at first is Idris I

Mauritania - Leader at first is Gabriel Omer Descemet

Nigeria - Leader at first is Bernard Henry Bourdillon

North Sudan-Leader at first is John Loader Maffey

South Sudan-Leader at first is William Donovan Stamer

Upper Volta-Leader at first is Gabriel Descemet
