Also, while I think about it:

Is the functionality for "regions" going to be added in a patch, or will it have to wait for OOTP13?
Yes, this is likely to be changed, but I don't think that we can do it in a patch. Ideally we would need to define how many players in a league come from other countries and from which one.

I want to create a completely fictional world. It consists of:
--a single continent and a neighboring island
--two nations (one of which controls the island and a portion of the continent)
--four regions (two in each nation)
--18 cities in each nation
--Six races of people spread out among both nations and all cities

When I open the .xml file in Notepad++, I see a single world, which includes languages, continents and regions.

1) Should I create my world AFTER the real world, or inside the real world.
2) Should I delete all the info about the real world in the existing .xml or append the real world with info about my fictional one?
3) Are the races of people essentially what's contained in the languages section?
4) Since 'states' comes under 'nation' do I leave that blank if I don't divide the nation into states.
5) Are regions unimplemented still? I believe I gleaned that from earlier in this thread.

In short, I'm not certain how to structure the .xml file to meet my setup.
1) You should replace the real world
2) Delete
3) Yes, kind of. You get most Asians when you let the people speak chinese, for example. But the languages/ethnicities issue is difficult since it's partially hard-coded.
4) Each nation has to have at least one state. Because only states can have cities. Just call the state the same as the nation.
5) Yes. They are in the game, but OOTP does not use them for anything ATM. We'll add that in a patch.
