Right, basically it was just intended for scenarios.
I assume that a CSA "nation", if submitted, would also be intended only
for scenarios.

I hope that the "fantasy" nations (Dunedain, etc.) also ultimately only
show up in scenarios (or modpacks) -- they really don't belong (obviously)
in the same category as real-life nations, either past or present.

I submitted the Nazi "nation" (along with the other ones) to be included
into the general distribution so I wouldn't have to maintain the darn
things every time there was a major code update.  Is it REALLY true that
the code is becoming stable now with regard to nation rulesets?  (For
example, actually, I hope it's accepted the proposal made by others that
the flag/shield of each nation be stripped from flags/shields/etc.xpm and 
put directly into the nation.ruleset of said nation.)

BTW, what's "liase"?
