Fill the world grid!
Ranked (where, it's no secret, my main team belongs) bores me, so do the silent coaches of the box, the leeg is great, but there ain't enough coaches playing (let's have stunty SMACKs!), so I needed another objective to keep me entertained.
It's no secret either even though I'm at home atm, I love travelling for extended periods... My last trip took me to the Amazon basin, where I won the zons XFL. The year before, I won the Stunty (Fling) GLT qualifier in France (ok, technically, the Moot is in the Empire, aka Germany, but let's be real: we all know Flings are French).
So what about filling the world grid and win a tournament for each race in their respective country?
Amazon - Amazon Basin - checked
Chaos - Scandinavia?
Chaos Dwarf - ?
Chaos Pact - ?
Dwarf - ?
Goblin - ?
Halfling - France - checked
Human - Germany (the Empire)
Khemri - Egypt
Lizardmen - Amazon Basin
Necromantic - Romania?
Norse - Scandinavia
Nurgle - Scandinavia?
Ogre - Russia
Orc - ?
Skaven - ?
Slann - Amazon Basin
Undead - Romania? Hungary?
Underworld - ?
Vampire - Romania? Hungary?
And the rest:
Dark Elf - Canada
Elf
High Elf - some hyped place of the Caribbean (Saint Barth?)
Wood Elf
(Which doesn't matter as I'm not gonna touch those filthy creatures.)
-------------
What do you think? What country for what race (I'll edit the list depending on your replies)?

Dark Elves are from North America. The East coast, specifically.
Chaos really needs to be inside the Arctic Circle.
Pact Marauders are Norse, so Norway (Sweden would do).
Ogres are the Russian Steppes/Mongolia/that sort of region, with the CDs slightly more to the west of that.
High Elves are Ulthuan, the closest equivalent is Atlantis, so... maybe while you're on a cross Atlantic cruise?
Wood Elves and the others are mostly spread around the Old World, so you have a choice for those, but Europe generally.

The Rodents could really be anywhere I would think, but Mordheim and the like always gave me a Romania/Transylvania feel.
Orcs would be no-nonsense southerners from the US, intelligent enough not to be hicks and rational enough not to be bible-thumping religious nuthobs.

Dwarves should definitely be Scottish!

Vampires = Romania. It's where Transsylvania is so.....
Nurgle have to be from Ukraine, more specifically the Tsjernobyl region. As an laternative you could have them come from Bhopal
I would take Ireland for the gobbo's
Dorfs are Swiss for me, cuz of the mining and the grumpyness.
This would make C-Dorfs Austrian since they are the Swiss" evil cousins
Chaos are Belgian. Have you ever followed a post-election cabinet formation there? Can't get much more chaotic than that.
Underworld are from the New York metro system (representing the US Metling Pot), while skaven are from the London Tube
Chaos Pact also the US to represent their ethnic diversity (and the number of guys going D'oh and ROAAAR also fits somehow)
Orcses are Welsh cuz of the tough rugby players. Might have said Scotland, but don't want to burden anyone wth the mental picture of an orc in a kilt. (whoops, did it anyway)
Undies and Necro lack the falvor for me to come up with anything.

Pythrr, Flings can't be English: Hobbits love good food!

@ Cloggy: nope I've never followed Belgian politics, but I know their highways - definitely Chaos, I admit. :D
But quite frankly, I was more trying to find some sort of equivalence between Warhammer map and the real world map.
http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammerfb/images/d/d6/Map_of_the_Warhammer_World.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110513164512
Dorfs sure should be some Alpine country. Cdorfs - I'm not sure. Would they be on the eastern or western side of the Ural?
Pact indeed could fit in any Northern country (close to the chaos waste).

For High Elves, geographically it could be the Caribbean - due to their arrogant nature, I guess that would be some hyped place like Saint Barth.

Well, it's all an approximation, but on that map you just linked, the mountain range on the far right (the Mountains of Mourn) is the western edge of the Ogre Kingdoms now. I'd guess that they are ≈ the Urals, so CDs are just west of those. From Moscow down to Volgograd, that sort of area.

Maybe some ideas:
Amazon - Amazon Basin (sounds great)
Chaos - Greenland + Alaska + Siberia
Chaos Dwarf - Island (they like ponies)
Chaos Pact - The Balitics
Dwarf - Swiss (Gold/Gold/Gold)
Goblin - Turkey / Ottomans
Halfling - Belgium
Human - Germany/Austria/Netherlands
Khemri - Egypt
Lizardmen - Yucatán
Necromantic - Czeck Republik + Hungary
Norse - Scandinavia
Nurgle - Indian subcontinent
Ogre - Russia
Orc - The Balkans (a great mix of violent people)
Skaven - are ruled by the council of 13. So visit 13 capital cities on all 6 continets and ride an underground/tube/metro ...
Slann - Melanesia, Polynesia, Micronesia, Indonesia (Indochina)
Undead - Haiti + Benin
Underworld - Little East (pure anemosity)
Vampire - Romania
Dark Elf - Nippon
Elf - Ireland
High Elf - Greece (an old ancient high culture, sound right there)
Wood Elf - Canada (you need some dark forests?)
Amazon - Amazon Basin (sounds great)
Chaos - Greenland + Alaska + Siberia
Chaos Dwarf - Island (they like ponies)
Chaos Pact - The Balitics
Dwarf - Swiss (Gold/Gold/Gold)
Goblin - Turkey / Ottomans
Halfling - Belgium
