Both have at least two Latin American variants.

Sleepcap/Oli has suggested this link for anyone willing to make new maps.

Here is a good website for looking at various variants that people in the Diplomacy community have created over the past 50 or however many years:

http://www.variantbank.org/

To see the list of variants that exist for webDiplomacy you can go straight to these two pages:
http://goondip.com/mapfaq.php
http://oli.rhoen.de/webdiplomacy/variants.php

But webdiplomacy.net isn't likely to add more variants for various reasons. Those other two sites are where you can play lots of different variants.

If you like to make a variant open a thread on the developer forums.
I'll guide you through the process.

thanks... Sleepcap, ill take a look later and make the variant, thanks for the offered help :)

figle and I have recently made a new variant :)
