I still think that it does matter which number a leader has. Leaders are
chosen after historical impact usually, and yes, this can mean that some
names repeat with different numbers. I see no harm in it nor do I get the
impression that those names give a strange look in the game. What is the
problem with the roman numbers?

Germany *is* also a medieval nation and not the same as Bavaria, which is a
medieval but not a modern nation because it is part of Germany today.

Since I'm the last editor of german.ruleset please keep this.
