This is true when you play mutiplayer and leave game ( and other player 
start play your nation ).
But I speak here about SinglePlayer game. I only want that my global ( 
and city ) worklists are avilable after load a savegame without any 
additonaly action ( manualy import/export from disk ). And this is very 
important for singleplayer.
If we don't plan secound type of savegame format for singleplayer then 
we can have :
1) auto export/import worklists from/to server ( single player should 
have this dafault enabled )
2) export/import worklists from/to disk (very usefull in mutiplayer and 
start of single player)
1) - should import/export global worklists to server and savegames
2) - should work only for global worklists

This is one solution but if we have dialog which ask about new city 
name then we can put starting worklist "selector" here. This dialog is 
enabled/disabled via local options and this default new city worklist 
can be default for this dialog and default new city wl when you 
disabled popup of this dialog.
