To clarify:
First of all tibet is not part of the game itself because there are no real big cities (in comparison with the other chinese cities) and I just took a map of china an first put in all the cities with a million or more people living there and then added some cities to come up with 42 needed cities for the map.
The cities in the west are not all big, but to have a better game there should be more than one city over there.
If I had included a city from tibet it would have been Lhasa (of course) but the connection costs because of the mountains would have been so expensive that it would be without any sense for the game to have this city, because nobody would build there (gaming wise speaking)
So the map structure is the way it is by now, because it is already very expensive to build to the west.
Then we had to design the map and with the known discussions all over the world about the status of tibet, I decided to keep tibet in that way it is now neutral, because people all over the world are totally mad about borders and nationalism.
As coming from a country not long ago changed their borders, I'm sometimes not quite sure what to do with borders, because I grew up in the federal republic of germany (western germany) and almost nobody ever thaught of a real chance of a reunion of the german country in the times I were in school and for me the borders of western germany with the special status of berlin, were given totally normal.
So as we made the other side of the map the korean board, we only made the south korean part, because of the official status of korea is the same status it were with eastern and western germany, but the company in korea told me that they want to have the whole korean peninsula, because they feel as one nation and ok we did it against the international official status.
I hope this clears the way the board is by now. Tibet is part of the map of china as we see but special.
