In future RISK games, what do you think should be done with Canada and Mexico?  Currently, Canada borders 11 U.S. states and starts with 4 Neutral battalions, and Mexico borders 4 U.S. states and starts with 2 Neutral battalions.

I'll only be keeping this poll open for a few days, because I intend to implement the change (if any) into the next game of 'RISK Capital'.

You might notice that I've left out the option of breaking both countries down into provinces.  I'm not particularly keen on the idea to be honest, as it overcomplicates things a little too much for me.

A mixture of 3 and 4.  Increase from 2nd 4 to 3 and 6 battallions respectively and give them the advantage of rolling 3 dice on defense (if available).  It definitely will make Mexico not a problem (not that it is one now) and with 6 battalions, and 3 defense dice, Canada becomes expensive bit of real estate.

Increase the number to the number they border. IE, for Canada 11; Mexico 4. Also, a link between Hawaii and Mexico wouldn't be a bad idea.

Split them up into around 3 territories each, giving them about 4 or so battalions each.

Thanks for your alternative suggestions guys, but a clear majority has spoken.  Bye bye Canada and farewell Mexico.  We hardly knew ye.
