I have no particular opinion on this, but if nobody wants the nation or 
requests it *except* as a civil war nation, I think it's fine to leave 
it as a civil war nation.  Of course once somebody sees it they will 
want to play it and complain that they can't.

As I've said before, what's needed isn't to remove nations completely 
from being playable but to make the interface for choosing them less 
overwhelming.
