Total nerd question: the Standard Dip map has a waterway thru northern

vice-versa). There is no such waterway in real-life Germany. Did it used to
be? Or is it a design conceit to add balance to the game? Anybody familiar
with the history of this?

Diplomacy games may contain lying, stabbing, or deliberately deceiving communications that may not be suitable for and may pose a hazard to young children, gullible adults, and small farm animals.
