Not really. See the FAQ on getting the game. Link

Europe has its own Collector's Edition, thanks to Paradox.
The Australians and Kiwis have Auran handling the distribution. But no news if its the normal or CE.
And as for Asia, well I don't know of any distributor who might be bringing GalCiv 2 in. I do hope SD does get in contact with one or two, but I don't hold much faith in that thought and decided to order direct from SD instead.

I want my money go to SD (who deserve it) rather than to some middle-man who don't even know a thing or two about quality games.

That is a good question that I would like answered as well, but I think it is best to assume that there are no distributors for retail (outside of US, AU and EU).

Your best bet would be to order direct from StarDock.

Well, it wont be a problem for us Euros then, as Paradox do know great games. I love their games, except for Diplomacy, yuck.

I thought the Collectors Edition from SD was also a special package? Would be nice if it were a steel one...but whatever. I think the box looks nice.

will the bonus components for the electronic pre-release buyers have to be downloaded separately?
