@simon33:
Well if in that case UK units retake Egypt from the Axis, no income is collected for Egypt. Also if there were an IC on Egypt, no one could build out of it. So you have to get someone else to take the territory if you want the benefit.
I am fully aware of this, but could be good to further explain the special case with the split british/uk economy
1. If London is down India can just collect on the pacific map, all other british areas are not collected, such as Africa
2. If India is down, I believe London will collect west India, correct? How does this make any sense when London can not collect say Borneo? (or any other pacific area) West India must have a special case as it can be collected on both maps for both India and London?
3. Why cant the British/UK collect on both maps when all other nations can?
