    This is actually a little bit funny, in my first successful playthrough of XCom Enemy Within, the only country to leave the project was Canada, which was by a huge mistake i maid which cost me a satellite. So hearing Whisper say he's Canadian and how Canada is no longer a thing is very funny to me personally.

      It should be interesting. Not just human com agents, but the option to bring in some alien agents with specialised abilities. Also should be fun to see how this band of Xcom handles the situation of a new alien threat, as well as how the world has been shaped by the aftermath of the fall of advent. Maybe with multiple hostile factions ranging from the usual alien menace, to human-alien cult zealots, to anti-alien human fanatics, and maybe even aliens who are closer to domestic criminals. And with both land based threats, along with the terrors of the deep, and varying factions to face and keep on side, the handling of certain missions might require some careful management.
