Just like to point out some historical inaccuracies:

It might be small now but there was time when it (together with Poland) 
dominated whole of Ukraine, Belorussia (you can very well see them on the 
map, can't you?) and big part of what is modern Germany.

Every country has its own claim to fame, and if it's not very prominent, 
than FreeCiv gives the players from this country an opportunity to boost 
their ego.  That's why I play Scots now ;)
