  1. I asked Ireland to fix it but they’re just Dublin down.

  2. I’ve been to Brizzle and if a plague is going to originate anywhere…

  3. Bristol, as a word, is similar enough to Belfast that I feel like this could have been someone just wasn’t concentrating when they designed it

  4. So, fun fact: this is because Ndemic Creations, who developed the original Plague Inc, are based in Bristol.

  5. For plague purposes, being separated by a sea is probably more important than your political affiliation.

  6. Reminded me of when I visited Worthing in 2023. There was a park where there was a big UK union flag, and to the side, four smaller flags representing the UK’s parts: England, Scotland, Wales… and Ukraine.

    I just laughed like a maniac when I saw it. They’d rather pretend Ukraine is an extension of the country, than acknowledge Northern Ireland exists.

  7. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.

    Where the fuck is the Isle of Wight.

  8. Jesus what a throw back, think I was playing this on my iPhone 4!

  9. As someone from Northern Ireland I’m just going to hope we’ve gone for the Madagascar mobile pandemic game approach and locked down our borders early to avoid dying.

  10. If a deadly plague would originate anywhere, Turbo Island in Bristol would be the epicentre

  11. Why Cardiff and Bristol? They’re only 25 miles apart!

  12. This is actually done for accuracy, as the best place for a plague to start would be Bristol.

    Source: am from Bristol.

  13. BUT I’M AS BRITISH AS PEOPLE IN FINCHLEY. MAGGIE TOLD ME SO!!

  14. I’m actually very annoyed by this, I’m sick of NI consistently being ignored and forgotten about.
    Good for them if they’re based in Bristol but why include every other UK capital aside from Belfast?
    Genuine slight

  15. Just because there are four countries in the UK that doesn’t mean you should dedicate 75% of your resources to 15% of the population. The UK is England plus some extra bits tagged on.
