Thanks, redsoxford- I was hoping you'd have a chance to look at this. My guess, just that, is:
-player 8140 retires in Tuvalu. The game thinks, 'great, I can use that id when it comes time to generate a replacement Tuvalu player and keep the Tuvaluan player ids together in sequence', and keeps the link active to the now empty player id;
-when it comes time during the season to replenish the hidden player supply, the Dominican players are made first, and slot 8140 is instead used for a DR player;
-when the game gets around to replacing the retired Tuvaluan player, Tuvalu is still linked to 10 active players, so it thinks Tuvalu has met its quota. I'm guessing this is true, because while scouting Tuvalu I found 5 active players, and only 1 genuine Tuvaluan, which makes me think most of Tuvalu's links were to players from other nations. I did just find one Tuvaluan, player id 13603, but he may have been generated as a replacement for one of the five 'rediscovered' players.
The game mistakenly labels Tuvaluans as Tuvaleans, incidentally.
