Initial territories changed?

I was just wondering if the randomness in assigning initial territories where changed?
I read a thread a while back wanting it to change so that your territories are more likely to be next to each other, has it happened?
The reason i ask is because the last two games i have played everyone has had all there territories close to eachother. I just started a classic where i have argentina, peru and venuezala; another person has southern north america; another who has 4 territories all connected in europe plus egypt and the last having south africa, east africa and middle east.
