I don't see any selection neither.

It may be nice to start in the same continent of the player. I know better the countries near here [Argentina]. North America is quite linear, so it may be boring to plat there.

Yes it's intentional. I thought if players can see the selection during the game, it is not challenging.

I think letting a user select a continent is a good idea.

It's too hard. I know enough geography to play only in a few parts of the map.

How good is the AI? We made a few mathematical games a few years ago and our problem was that the computer used perfect strategy. We had to add an easy mode. Perhaps your AI can have an easy model that does a shallow search to avoid stupid errors.

Ok thanks for the feedback. I will add an option to show the used countries during the game.

Yeah even though it says AI mode, it is just based on a simple algorithm, otherwise, players can never win. Just made a small difference between the difficulty.
