To remind everybody for the gazillionth time , here's what I originally proposed:

Ever want to create a continent- or region-wide league representing several countries at once? I think I have a solution: the multinational option.

Here's how it would work: let's say you want to create a four-team Euro League with teams in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin. Under "League Nation," instead of one nation, there would be an option called "Multinational." This would restrict the league to creating players only from the countries where the teams are; in this case, England, France, Italy and Germany.

Want to slip in a few players from outside Europe? There would be another option: "Multinational Percentage" (MN%), sort of like "Foreigner Percentage" in reverse. An MN% of 100 means no players outside the four-country group; 50 means half the players created would be English, French, Italian and German, while the other half would be from other countries, with the "big baseball" nations (US, Japan, Korea, etc.) getting the lion's share.

What about individual teams? You'd have two options: "Nation percentage" (players from the team's own nation, or N%) and "Group percentage" (players from the other countries in the league, or G%). Let's say you wanted all the players on the team from Rome to be Italian; that's a N% of 100 and a G% of 0. If you set, say, the Berlin team at N% of 50 and G% of 30, you'd get half your players from Germany, another 30% from England, France and Italy, and the remaining 20% from outside the four countries in this league.

It looks confusing, I know, but it would solve the problems of pan-European or pan-Asian leagues. Or what if, say, your version of MLB expands to Tokyo, but they would prefer to have a larger percentage of native Japanese players on their roster? Now, it would be possible.
