I have a question about the way that OOTP12 handles names, and yu seem to be the fount of wiscdom on the subject.

In OOTP 11, there was a "nations.txt" file wherein you could specify up to four name sets that represented the four largest ethnic "tiers" from which names could be drawn. (I think I am remembering that correctly). But in OOTP12 that doesn't seem to be how the game does things anymore.

So how would one go about creating a name set representing the different ethnic groups present in the USA in the 1930s for OOTP 12? Would you actually have to import all those German and Swedish and Italian names into a single name set and try to jigger their frequencies? Sounds horribly complicated.
