There is a Risk 2210 FAQ file below which gives the official answer from the game designer, Rob Daviau.Question: "The Classic Risk board has Ontario and Greenland adjacent as well as East Africa and the Middle East. On many older Classic Risk boards, this is further clarified by dotted lines that connect them.
The new Risk 2210 A.D. board has changed the corresponding territories of Canada & Exiled States of America, and the Ministry of Djibouti & Middle East to appear no longer connected."
Answer: "The Canada/Exiled connection was eliminated to make North America a bit easier to hold in 2210AD without seriously changing standard RISK. With the new connections into NA, we took one out.
I am not sure why we took out the Djibouti/ME connection but it is also gone."
