That do you mean pushed to the side? Its the main project for WDW for the next 2 years, and there are plans for new countries, they're just not going to be built or considered in the foreseeable future.Awhile back, there was discussion of 3 new countries being added to Epcot. With the Fanstasyland expansion has that been pushed to the side? Are there any other plans for updating Epcot?
It's never as simple as just "Hey let's build a country." The governments of that country have to be willing to finance it.

Imo..they should focus on making future world.... Ummm...futuristic
Here's the deal though. If a new country would be added to World Showcase, more than likely it would replace an existing country.

I know everyone can see where there would be plenty of room between the current countries but those areas were planned to be buffer zones and they really want to keep them that way. One of these obviously large areas is between the African outpost and Germany; however, that area is very shallow near the rear of the African outpost due to the marina backstage. One other problem developing this area is the propane and pyrotechnic storage area for Illuminations is directly behind this plot of land (a huge safety issue). If anything would go here at all it would have to be directly across the backstage gate access next to Germany and be a very small pavilion.
Sorry, I'm going to have disagree with you with that one. There is plenty of room behind Africa, they could almost fit in 2 countries if they wanted to and it wouldn't affect the Marina or the Entertainment compound. Just because they have a lot of temporary buildings and structures doesn't mean they can't be moved.
First of all Africa is a continent and not a country, and second it is already represented in AK so there is no way it will be added to Epcot. There are a lot of ideas floating around and to speculate on one country or another is just not possible, the only definite is that you will not see an Iran or North Korea.There are plans aready out about Russia, Switzerland, and Africa. They may not be used but they are already out there. I am sure that there are even more out there that we aren't aware of. I am sure that we will hear of something soon as Epcot is in need of some attention as it hasn't had an update in quite sometime. Epcot recieved mission space, Animal kingdom got Everest and now MK got the new fantasyland. I would expect either hollywood studios or Epcot to get some love next.

Accelerating change, or the rate at which technology develops and progresses makes the exhibition of anything considered "futuristic" more and more difficult and not suitable for multi-million dollar attractions in a theme park environment.
