./terraform0.13 init -reconfigure

There are some problems with the configuration, described below.

The Terraform configuration must be valid before initialization so that
Terraform can determine which modules and providers need to be installed.

Try setting it to us-central-1. You're formatting your regions wrong, you need a dash before the number. Additionally you don't need to specify a, b, or c since terraform gets the information from your subnet setting.

SOrry I didn't mention the cloud, GCP. For GCP it is the structure

On second though you're possibly not using a map correctly and might be defining it wrong. Also... I wouldn't define zone as a variable. A map is like an array that uses names instead of numbers, so there's two problems. By defining zone you might be making it both a variable and a map index. Also each map [index] (if thats the right term) should be unique. Here's an example: https://www.devopsschool.com/blog/terraform-variable-map-type-explained/

I'm afraid I really don't know anything about GCP. You might want to check that you're using an up to date copy of terraform and you might even want to delete .terraform and run terraform init again to redownload your libraries.

Invalid default value really makes sense when you compare the example against what you have. It probably means that you're (literally) defining the default map wrong.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
