Let's put them in a separate group similar to 'Fictional' then! There 
they won't bother anyone: no cluttering of other groups and they won't 
be randomly selected as ai players (people might complain they have to 
face the Soviets in the ancient era otherwise ;-) )

The problem is the naming of this group. Some people don't like the 
Soviet nation to be sorted as 'civil war'...
