I planned this (adding a category to the nations) for long time but
never found the time. I also have a nice image of the new nation

 "From what I am reading Win98 and NT5.0 will be getting rid of all that

  another really revolutionary concept called DNS that eliminates the
  netbios crap too. All that arping from browsers is going to go away.
  I also hear rumors that they are on the verge of breakthrough discoveries
  called NFS, and LPD too. Given enough time and money, they might
  eventually invent Unix."
