Hi All,

I've been working on a 'US States League' where each US state acts as a separate nation after I found a 'states as nations' world_default file. However, i'm currently running into an issue where there are a certain number of players getting into my inaugural draft whose place of birth is 'Unknown', and that do not have any state listed as their 'nationality'. This won't work with the league rules I want to use, wherein each state has a ML team which is made up predominantly of players from that state, with a certain amount of out-of-state 'imports' allowed. These stateless guys would act like wildcards that don't count towards the roster limits, defeating the point of the roster rules.

My method for creating the inaugural draft pool is as follows: Under the 'players' tab in the league creator I deselect everything, then go back through and select (checkbox) the 50 individual US states - I want the 50 'states as nations' to constitute 100% of the players for all time, so 'from random nation' is 0%. I do the same process for the entry draft pool while i'm there, AND I disable all international / indy league free agents.

So this means that each state should provide 2% of the draft pool (2% x 50 states = 100% of players - about 9000 players in all and 160-something rounds to fill all the minor leagues), but when I click 'round nation percentage to 100' - It rounds everything to 1.84%. 1.84 x 50 = 92 if my calculator's right, so i'm guessing that these 'stateless' players are the missing 8%... Now, I admit that this is still a WIP, I still have to change all of the teams' nationalities to their respective states and base the league out of a state which might well have something to do with the 1.84 thing - why i'm posting now is because it seems wierd to me that 'rounding up to 100%' gives you a figure that is less than 100%, and because even if I type the '2%' value in myself these stateless guys still show up. Can anyone think what might be causing it and/or how to solve it?

Thanks in advance!
