Speculation on TAR16 *no wish-lists please*
north09:
Well if it is Nueva Germania, which seems quite plausable at this point, we still have to find some way to account for Europe. My best guess would be a small european country the race has yet to visit that wouldn't attract much attention.

North09,
I like your thinking on that. Here is a list of such countries:
1. Belgium
2. Luxembourg
3. Sardinia (not a country but an large owned by Italy)
4. Malta (should be in the category with tiny principalities below, but it is on this list just to please Michael)
5. Denmark
6. Latvia
7. Slovakia
8. Albania
9. Bulgaria (not exactly small, but definitely not well known)
10. Moldova
11. Serbia
12. Bosnia-Hercegovina (excluding the 9 mile crossing of the Neum Corridor in AR12)
13. Macedonia
14. Kosovo
I am ignoring the tiny principalities like Liechtenstein, Monaco, Andorra and Vatican City.
I personally like Slovakia as a country for AR16 to have visited. Its capital Bratislava is close to Vienna for air transportation. I would love to see Denmark in AR16 but it's quite a bit harder to stay unobserved there.

I don't think Kosovo could have been visited due to the violence and dispute with Serbia. Also Bratislava maybe close to Vienna for air transport but they do have their own int'l airport for the record. And the tiny principalities could work due to the Vatican City being in Rome; San Marino close to Tuscany and Venice; Andorra being near Toulouse; Liechtenstein is near Zurich; and Monaco is right next to Nice. Also the Balaeric Islands (Palma de Mallorca), Azores, Canary Islands, Greek Isles could also work due to the connections through Madrid, Barcelona, Lisbon, and Athens. Plus one more thing is that maybe to my guess after South America they could have gone Africa (2 Legs), SE Europe or the Middle East (1 Leg) and SE Asia (1 Leg) until continuing on to Penang and so on. The leg before Penang could be either be in Kuala Lumpur (obvious) or Indonesia (Sumatra, Java, or Bali). If they did do a leg in Kuala Lumpur, I hope they visited the Ginteng Highlands. Plus maybe for a roadblock, speedbump, or fastforward I like to see a team eat a Durian fruit due to its unusual smell and taste. (Durian fruit idea is from Travel channel's Bizzarre Foods)

Indonesia is too unstable, anyone heard of the Bali bombings and the Jakata hotel bombings? There are a lot of people who suggest Indonesia but just can't see how they can do it in the current climate.

Maybe we should take all this to spec??
