Niantic recently cancelled the Pokemon Go attack day in Split, Croatia-probably because it relied on World War II data.
A recent Reddit article in "jaleCro" drew attention to this unfortunate incident. The article wrote: "Obviously Niantic thinks that Split belongs to Italy just like during World War II, and our raid day was cancelled without notice." "Just a joke, they seem to be using too large a battery because Split is 200 away from Italy Kilometers. According to the report, I guess this is a cell. "
As you can see, the cell covers both Italy's east coast and Croatia's second largest city, Split. During World War II, Split was annexed by Italy, which is probably why it was excluded from the Croatian raid day. Similarly, Redditor from Newfoundland, called "BananApocalypse", doubts whether Tauros, a North American monopoly, can be used.
Commented: "It does matter, but I'm in Newfoundland, and obviously we don't belong to North America." "I have never seen Tauros here, and we don't have any regional exclusive goods."
Redditor Samerz360 responded: "95% of Canada is not part of North America where Niantic lol." "Saskatoon is here, and for Taurus, we are far north. At least we got Pachirisu. I think Newfoundland It is one of the last regions in the world without a dedicated area. "
This problem seems to be due to a mix of outdated mapping and oversized geographic units-the above units actually cover the entire width of the Adriatic Sea and then the entire range.
From the comments on the post, it appears that Split has never been given a raid anniversary. As far as Niantic's algorithm is concerned, although it has belonged to multiple countries since the last occupation of Italy (though it should now be entirely Croatian), it still belongs to Italy.
It is hoped that Niantic will update its sovereign state archives from 1943.
