A slightly different approach to Confederate nation:

Only two cities (both actual capitals), not overlapping with American 
nation (too insignificant in contemporary USA). The rest of the 
nation's cities are fetched from American nation through the 
civilwar_nation tag. If both Confederates and Americans are present in 
a game, they simply compete for the city names.

Also introducing new group: "Ideological". This is a very versatile 
group that can hold several kinds of nations: For example Soviet and 
European (EU) nations suggested elsewhere. Also UN, NATO (both using 
flags in CVS,) Yugoslav plus perhaps religious "nations" such as 
Christians, Muslims etc. The possibilities are endless. :-)

Plus new flag: The (in)famous Southern Cross. Drawn by me.
