This has evolved to a major overhaul of the default/nations.ruleset file.

The nation groups and their priorities has been altered, and all
geographical groups has been added to the list as well.

The intended effect of the priority changes is that if you chose to play
a "historical" (ancient, medieval) nation, there should be a higher
probability of you facing mostly other "historical" nations. Testing
shows that the first 3-6 or so nations the program selects is from the
same group, while the following seems to be completely randomly
selected. The function was introduced in PR#12647 and is perhaps buggy?

In addition, the list of nation rulesets is now in alphabetical order
(including the barbarian nation.) Are there any reasons it shouldn't be?

Also the comments were updated.
