countries and maps of Battlefield 1

I put together an infographic that shows the countries and maps of the Battlefield 1 game as a graph data structure.
Here is my picture:

Then I arranged the countries of Battlefield 1 in ascending order according to the number of their presence on the BF1 maps.
Here is my result:


Maps of the United States of America : Argonne Forest, Ballroom Blitz


Maps of Kingdom of Italy: Caporetto, Empire's Edge, Monte Grappa


Maps of the Ottoman Empire: Achi Baba, Cape Helles, Fao Fortress, Sinai Desert, Suez


Maps of the Austro-Hungarian Empire: Brusilov Keep, Galicia, Łupków Pass, Caporetto, Empire's Edge, Monte Grappa


Maps of the French Republic: Fort De Vaux, Nivelle Nights, Prise de Tahure, Rupture, Soissons, Verdun Heights


Maps of the Russian Empire: Albion, Brusilov Keep, Galicia, Łupków Pass, Tsaritsyn, Volga River


Maps of the British Empire: Achi Baba, Cape Helles, Fao Fortress, Sinai Desert, Suez, Amiens, Giant's Shadow, Heligoland Bight, London Calling, Passchendaele, Razor's Edge, River Somme, St. Quentin Scar, Zeebrugge


Maps of the German Empire: Amiens, Giant's Shadow, Heligoland Bight, London Calling, Passchendaele, Razor's Edge, River Somme, St. Quentin Scar, Zeebrugge, Argonne Forest, Ballroom Blitz, Fort De Vaux, Nivelle Nights, Prise de Tahure, Rupture, Soissons, Verdun Heights, Albion

My question is, if Dice had released a fifth DLC (after the Apocalypse DLC and before the BFV in 2018), which WWI belligerent country would it have featured?

    Here is the "Forward to Glory" fan-proposed DLC's description (the new participants are Kingdom of Serbia, Kingdom of Montenegro, Kingdom of Greece and Kingdom of Bulgaria):

    https://battlefieldfanfiction.fandom.com/wiki/BF1:_Forward_to_Glory


    The DLC is named for a quote by Dragutin Gavrilović, a Serbian officer who led a last stand against German and Austro-Hungarian attackers at the confluence of the Danube and Sava Rivers during the 1915 Seige of Belgrade.
    The Balkan states are literally central to the reason the First World War began, and yet, the battles in Balkans are often overshadowed by the fighting on the Western Front. The DLC Forward to Glory takes you to a theater of war every bit as brutal as the West. Make a last stand alongside the Serbian army in Belgrade, Fight alongside or against the Bulgarians in the bloody Battle of Doiran, and join the Greek Army as they break neutrality to aid the Allied war effort.


    my guess is what inspired the name "Forward to Glory" of the DLC?
    Dragutin Gavrilović (25 May 1882 – 19 July 1945) was a Serbian and Yugoslav military officer, best known for his heroic defense of Belgrade during the First World War.
    Legacy and honors:
    Swedish heavy metal band Sabaton wrote the song "Last Dying Breath" from their album The Last Stand in his honor, referencing quotes by him in the lyrics.

    I found a Battlefield 1 fanfiction DLC idea ("The War at Home"), which I think was inspired by "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" episodes.


    Battlefield 1: The War at Home
    https://battlefieldfanfiction.fandom.com/wiki/Battlefield_1:_The_War_at_Home
    Battlefield 1: The War at Home is a fan-proposed DLC for Battlefield 1 based on revolutions and sabotage in World War I, including the Mexican Revolution, Easter Rising, and German Revolution. The War at Home DLC brings the fight to surprising and unique corners of the globe, including Mexico and Ireland. Ride across the American border with Pancho Villa, battle rebels on the streets of Dublin, and stop saboteurs within sight of the Statue of Liberty!

    Maps:
    -Raid on Columbus
    -Celaya
    -Easter Rising
    -Ashbourne
    -Black Tom
    -Kiel Mutiny


    Where is the "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" connection?


    -"Young Indiana Jones and the Curse of the Jackal" → Spring Break Adventure
    Adventures in Columbus: On March 9, 1916, Indiana Jones and his cousin Frank visited the town looking for "girls but they were caught in the middle of Pancho Villa's raid on the town, in which the Sentry was shot. To this day, the Villista attack on Columbus stands as the only attack on US continental soil by a foreign army since the War of 1812. Pancho Villa had ordered the attack the town, after the United States had officially recognized the Carranza government of Mexico.


    The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles – "Ireland, April 1916"
    The Easter Rebellion or Easter Rising of 1916 was a violent confrontation between British forces and Irish Fenian rebels seeking an independent Irish republic. Although the Fenians were brutally defeated, many dying during the battle and several others executed by firing squads afterwards, the method of suppression helped sway public sympathy toward the rebels.

    "The Lion of Africa" fan proposed DLC was inspired by two facts of the BF1 loading screen?
    Here is the description of the fictive "The Lion of Africa" DLC:
    https://battlefieldfanfiction.fandom.com/wiki/BF1:_The_Lion_of_Africa
    The Lion of Africa is a fan proposed Battlefield 1 DLC based on the African front of the First World War, including the Battle of Lake Tanganyika and the exploits of Paul Emil von Lettow-Vorbeck, the German master of guerilla of warfare also known as "The Lion of Africa".


    first fact of the BF1 loading screen:
    A small group of German soldiers under General Von Lettow-Vorbeck fought a guerilla war in German East Africa against Allied forces. They held out for the entire duration of the war.


    second fact:
    The British Army transported two boats through the jungle to fight the Germans on Lake Tanganyika.


    I think the Battle for Lake Tanganyika was made famous by the movie "The African Queen" (or probably the "Jungle Cruise")
    Battle for Lake Tanganyika
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_for_Lake_Tanganyika
    The Battle for Lake Tanganyika was a series of naval engagements that took place between elements of the Royal Navy, Force Publique and the Kaiserliche Marine between December 1915 and July 1916, during the First World War. The intention was to secure control of the strategically important Lake Tanganyika, which had been dominated by German naval units since the beginning of the war. The British forces – consisting of two motor boats named HMS Mimi and Toutou – were under the command of the eccentric Lieutenant-Commander Geoffrey Spicer-Simson. The boats were transported to South Africa and from there by railway, by river, and by being dragged through the African jungle, to the lake.

    I think the "War in the East" fan-proposed DLC was partly inspired by SMS Emden's story.


    https://battlefieldfanfiction.fandom.com/wiki/BF1:_War_in_the_East
    War in the East is fan-proposed DLC for Battlefield one based on the various actions in the Far East and Pacific Ocean during the First World War, including the Siege of Tsingtao, the Australian invasion of German New Guinea, and the Battle of Penang.

    maps:
    -Tsingtao
    -Penang
    -Mücke's Stand
    -Cocos Islands
    ...


    the adventurous story of SMS Emden:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS_Emden
    SMS Emden ("His Majesty's Ship Emden") was the second and final member of the Dresden class of light cruisers built for the German Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial Navy). Emden spent the majority of her career overseas in the East Asia Squadron, based in Qingdao (Tsingtao), in the Jiaozhou Bay Leased Territory in China. In 1913, Karl von Müller took command of the ship. At the outbreak of World War I, Emden captured a Russian steamer and converted her into the commerce raider Cormoran. Emden rejoined the East Asia Squadron, then was detached for independent raiding in the Indian Ocean. The cruiser spent nearly two months operating in the region, and captured nearly two dozen ships. On 28 October 1914, Emden launched a surprise attack on Penang; in the resulting Battle of Penang, she sank the Russian cruiser Zhemchug and the French destroyer Mousquet. Müller then took Emden to raid the Cocos Islands, where he landed a contingent of sailors to destroy British facilities. There, Emden was attacked by the Australian cruiser HMAS Sydney on 9 November 1914. The more powerful Australian ship quickly inflicted serious damage and forced Müller to run his ship aground to avoid sinking. Out of a crew of 376, 133 were killed in the battle. Most of the survivors were taken prisoner; the landing party, led by Hellmuth von Mücke, commandeered an old schooner and eventually returned to Germany. Emden's wreck was quickly destroyed by wave action, and was broken up for scrap in the 1950s.


    A German WW1 film was made in 2012 based on the story of SMS Emden:
    13.000 Kilometer - Die Männer der Emden ("The Men of the Emden", English title: Odyssey of Heroes)
