Is it really a good idea to implement differences between nationalities?
This just produces stereotypes and prejudices.
For example:
The Germans would be probably very aggresive (2 world wars), the French
perhaps too (Napoleon), Russians would be also on the bad side (Stalin...),
Chinese perhaps too (human rights),...
And there would be some "good" nations, e.g. the Americans...

I think differing between nationalities would be contraproductive for a
world-wide project like Freeciv.
