>He places great value on morality
He was deeply idealist.
>Why is the Plata included but not the Cape of Good Hope?
I dunno.
>is the Suez Canal directly mentioned?
No. Only those I wrote. But now that you mention it, maybe I should have included whole North Africa, to Suez. I just drew the shortest line to Africa from Athens.

I think anything north from the line of Stockholm-Leningrad was disregarded as places sparsely populated, with too difficult terrain, and no places of strategic value. Maybe Finland is a highly developed country now, but back then (up to the late '50s) it was chiefly agrarian, with about 3,5 million people, with nothing much else than forests.
Ufa was included only because I followed direct straight lines between the nodes listed.
In my next posts there will be infos, why it reaches toward the Ural. And why the area south east of the Volga is excluded.
