The Big Six in men's international ice hockey are the six national teams that have been dominant in competitive play throughout history and especially since the 1950s. The group is composed of the North American countries of Canada and the United States, the Scandinavian countries of Sweden and Finland, and the Eastern European teams of Russia and the Czech Republic.[1][2] Before the end of the Cold War, the Soviet Union/CIS and Czechoslovakia held the places of Russia and the Czech Republic; consequently, Slovakia is sometimes mentioned as also being a member of a group referred to as the Big Seven.
Out of the 201 IIHF World Championships medals awarded, only 24 have been won by teams outside the Big Six and only four of those have been won since 1953 (all by Slovakia).[3] Of the 69 Olympic ice hockey medals awarded, only 4 have not been won by a Big Six team.[4][5] No team outside the Big Six has medaled in the World Cup of Hockey.

IIHF Men's World Championships
[edit] 1 | 2-4 | 5-9 | 10-19 | 20+ |
Canada and United States seldom have their best players available for the IIHF World Championships, due to the conflicting time-frame of the NHL. Typically the only players available are College hockey players, NHL players whose teams have failed to make the Stanley Cup playoffs, or players who play in other leagues such as the AHL. The World Championships have a very weak following in North America, and are not widely shown on television there. Despite this, the Canada and United States teams that compete in the World Championships are still normally easily able to defeat European teams outside of the Big Six, with a few possible exceptions, such as Slovakia.

World Cup
[edit]The World Cup of Hockey replaced the Canada Cup in 1996. The Canada Cup served as an ice hockey world championship that was governed by NHL, rather than IIHF, rules, and was held five times between 1976 and 1991. Only one team outside of the Big Six, West Germany, was ever allowed to compete in the Canada Cup; this occurred in 1984. After the fall of the Soviet Union, the Canada Cup was reorganized as the hockey World Cup. It has been held twice so far, with current plans for the cup to start up again in 2016 and be held every four years.[6]

Please stop altering the history section of the infobox on the United States page. I responded to your inquiry about my change when you posted on my talk page and explained the reasons why the Treaty of Paris is not relevant for that section. In case I was not clear, allow me to reiterate the irrelevancy of the Treaty of Paris and previous territorial control of US lands by the British. Here goes:
- The infobox on country pages is intended to give history about the formation of government in that country, and its evolution into the modern form
- The "United States" was created by thirteen British colonies in 1776 (it had never existed before) when the colonies declared themselves independent of other nations (not only the British), that is to say, sovereign. The point was that the US was from then on going to be a country, not that Britain was not going to be in control (they had already lost control).
- Before the declaration, most colonies had independently declared independence. New Hampshire was the first to be completely independent, having expelled British forces in 1775 and formed an independent government by 1776
- New England was completely independent of British Authority by 1776 and the only British troops in the new United States were in NY and farther south after that
- British forces were completely incapable of enforcing any kind of government in the United States during the Revolutionary war aside from limited governments in certain cities in certain years
- Virtually all Americans were completely free of British authority throughout the entire war
- During the war, numerous conventions were held by delegates from the many states to agree on a form of government. Eventually, the Articles of Confederation were passed.
- The Treaty of Paris, a mere formality, was signed by the British to stop their war with the French after their last general in the United States was forced to surrender. It had absolutely no relevance and no bearing on the relationship between the United States and any other country. Even between the US and Britain, many issues remained unresolved, and the tensions caused by this were largely to blame for the War of 1812.
- The Treaty of Paris was also a formality in the sense that the independence and self-determination Britain acknowledged the US to have in the treaty was already possessed by the United States, which as a nation had had de facto sovereignty since 1776.
To Summarize:
- The Declaration of Independence is included in the infobox because it is representative of the unity of the states and the start towards a unified, independent government.
- The Articles of Confederation are then included, as they were the first attempt at establishing a system of government
- The Articles are then followed by the Constitution, the final and current governmental system established by the United States.
- Hawaii's grant of statehood is included to show the most recent state to join the republic (This is an excellent example as well, as it can be plainly stated that Hawaii never had to be given independence by the British.)
Examples in other articles:
- On the Germany article, the first point reads "formation" rather than "establishment/independence from the Holy Roman Empire" or something similar
- The articles for Greece and Saudi Arabia do not read "Independence from the Ottoman Empire", rather, they read "formation" and "establishment", respectively.

Civilizations and leaders represented
[edit]* Entries with a teal background indicate civilizations added with the first expansion pack (III: Play the World; IV: Warlords; V: Gods & Kings).
* Entries with a green background indicate civilizations added with the second expansion pack (III: Conquests; IV: Beyond the Sword; V: Brave New World).
* Entries with a yellow background indicate civilizations added through DLC (V; VI) or game updates (Rev 2).
- Notes
- ^ Austria was a "hidden" civilization in Civ III, meaning their files were available, but the player had to add them manually into the game at the expense of another civilization.
- ^ a b c Civ I uses the romanization of Peking for Beijing, and Civ II and III use the modern name of Trondheim for Nidaros.
- ^ a b Spain was also included with the Gods & Kings expansion pack, and Ethiopia with the Brave New World expansion pack.
- ^ Civ VI features multiple leaders for playable civilizations. Unlike previous Civ titles that included this option, each leader in Civ VI may settle their own unique capital; allowing playable civilizations to have multiple capitals listed.
- ^ The German civilization is sometimes led by a Holy Roman Emperor, such as Friedrich Barbarossa in Civ II and VI, in lieu of a separate Holy Roman Empire civilization.
- ^ Most Civ games include specific Native American tribes, such as the Sioux, Iroquois, or Shoshone, instead of an amalgamated Native American empire.
- ^ The Viking civilization is called Scandinavia in Civ III: Play the World; however, the adjective remains "Viking". In Civ V and VI, Denmark and Norway replace the Viking civilization, respectively.
* Entries with a teal background indicate leaders added with the first expansion pack (III: Play the World; IV: Warlords; V: Gods & Kings).
* Entries with a green background indicate leaders added with the second expansion pack (III: Conquests; IV: Beyond the Sword; V: Brave New World).

- Notes

- ^ Charles' civilization was a "hidden" one in Civ III, meaning their files were available, but the player had to add them manually into the game at the expense of another civilization.
- ^ a b Isabella of Spain was also included with the Gods & Kings expansion pack, and Haile Selassie of Ethiopia with the Brave New World expansion pack.
- ^ a b c Tokugawa Ieyasu is replaced by Himiko, Oda Nobunaga and Togo Heihachiro in the PlayStation Vita release of Civ Rev 2.
- ^ a b Mao Zedong is replaced by Taizong of Tang in the Chinese release of Civ III and IV.
- ^ In Civ V, the name Wu Zetian is used instead of her personal name Wu Zhao.
