I want to set up 4 international leagues (Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America) with one team per country along with my MLB, minors, independent US leagues, Mexican and Japanese leagues.

I don't want these leagues to be equal in talent to MLB but I want a few players (say the top 1% or so) from these leagues to eventually make it to MLB and some to even become stars (i.e. I don't want the top international players to just be scrubs in MLB).

So here are my questions--

1) What should I set the player creation modifiers to be? If I set them to be equivalent to AAA leagues would that accomplish what I stated above?

2) Does the number of good players depend on the country's? For example, will the Dominican Republic produce more good players than Chile? Or will all countries players be simply based on the league's PCMs?

3) Will the number of good players on each team depend on the country's population? Will China and India overwhelm Singapore? Since teams will not be allowed to have foreigners, could small countries end up with not enough players?

4) Should I enable the financials for these leagues? Will not having financials interfere in any way with the top players leaving as free agents to join MLB?

I realize I have a lot of questions and I appreciate any help you can provide.
