I don't disagree with you that the term EG covers the concept at every level very nicely from a programmers point of view. The problem is that the term was previously associated with another concept: the multisquare EG. And this has really confused things. At least I think we should adopt some prefix notation or such to make matters clear
sqEG: Square based EG - the basic population object
prEG: Province based EG - the aggregate of all sqEGs in a province of similar nationality - similar to the earlier concept EG
ciEG: Civ based EG - the aggregate of all sqEGs in a civ of similar nationality
msEG: any multisquare EG - including EGs crossing civ or province borders
(I rather like prEG
)
LGJ
My concerns exactly. How sqEGs are aggregated and msEGs are split up into separate entities is of major importance.

Please read the piece I posted in the Model Organisation thread. I would like to hear your opinion.
