New Variant

Hi Guys!
So over the past 2 weeks I decided to revamp 1900 Diplomacy with a touch of the Edwardian variant. Then I added an 8th player (Spain)

Any points for revision, especially how to buff France and Spain (and even how to nerf Germany?)
Also, is the SC count too much? (There are 64 SCs)
Rules: All standard 1900 Dip rules apply
Map clarifications: There are 3 land bridges, Egypt-Jordan, Clyde-Belfast, Sweden-Denmark
The Caspian Sea is not a playable space
A fleet can't cross from Jordan to Damascus in one move.
What do you think about my first variant?
Edit: Please notify me if the map size is too large.
