Thank you! I tried to keep things close to the historical results but making due allowance for the changed circumstances of Wesworld.

I agree, great write up and no easy task but close to historical outcome is in theory only good for historical nations. No South African participation? Even historical medal counts for the top 5 nations are not that close to historical. For example, historical medal counts for: France-29, Italy-27, Great Britain-23, Turkey-12, Hungary-27. Not trying to rain on the parade but I don't think its very close to historical.

You are correct - but to allow for the inclusion of Russia, Germany, and China - all historical nations absent from the 1948 Olympics, as well as Atlantis and Byzantium - non-historical nations - medals had to come from somewhere. You are welcome enough to undertake the task for the upcoming winter Olympics in 1950.
