What I did when I wanted to create the United Kingdom and the USSR was to edit the world_default.xml with Nordpad ++. Simply create a new nation by copying and pasting all the data (cities, etc) from the existing nations you want to combine. You'll also have to create a new flag.

There's currently no option to combine nations, and I never tried deleting or overwriting the existing nations I wanted to combine into one from the world_default.xml. I always assumed doing so would cause unnecessary complications if not a catastrophic crash. There's really no need to do so anyway. Simply set the baseball level of the nations you just combined to non-existent, and for all intents and purposes, they're erased. If you're not basing a league in your new nation, set its level to anything above non-existent (the higher the level the more players from your new nation the game will generate.) and you're good to go.

Bear in mind that it sounds like there are big changes coming to how the game handles names/ethicities/languages, and by extension (I assume), nations, so the aforementioned procedure might be as outdated as the typewriter in a couple of weeks.
