And I think - someone else suggested it - I want a client side option
to make the choice for me.  In ~/.civclientrc:

preferred_nation = Dutch,me
preferred_nation = Egyptians,Cleopatra
preferred_nation = Americans,Voodoo Economics
ruler_name = me  # in case all my preferred nations are taken
gender = M
citystyle = classic

> Great idea!  No extra buttons or worries -- just some init-time twiddling.

Even better: no dialog at all!  Random selection would apply when the
preselected options are exhausted.
