Ha! Okay, calming down am I.
It is true, The Chinese would see World War II very different from non-Chinese. I'd go into it, but, I'm not Chinese. I do know, though, that the U.S. especially likes to simplify the Sino-Japanese war as "Japan attacked China. The U.S. helped China fight back." That's a good enough explanation for a game... since everything after that point requires a solid understanding of Chinese history.

Well I think chinese could see this a bit different^^
About the landthing: hehe, although that would be cool, but I think that would be a completly different game ;-)
I still try to make a magic set, not a cardbased WW simulation or something like that...

I'll grant China, but it's hard to call them a contender in World War II. More of an unfortunate side effect. If we were to count all the countries that were forced to play defense throughout the 30s and 40s, we'd have to include Spain, Ethiopia, and why not count the Indian forces that sided with Germany? Slippery slope, I suppose. If I don't shut myself up, I'm going to go into a philosophical discussion of 'What is a World War?'
But, yeah, this kind of depends on your scope, and how you envision your end product to look like. Speaking of that, what do you envision Lands to look like? I think it would be kind of neat if each land had the name of a city attached to it. Something like:
Shanghai
Legendary Land - China
: Add [China] to your mana pool.
Pay 1 life, : Add {U.S.} or {Japan} to your mana pool.
Except go a little nuts and add, like, 100 cities to the file, so you can play any major faction. (I admit, that might be overkill. Though it may allow you to make some real weirdo cards that have bonus abiliities like "Gain control of Amsterdam" or "Destroy Dresden").

@jmgariepy: there were even more with China which was to large parts occupied by Japan or Canada who provided lots of logistics for Operation Overlord.
