I want to keep the current players, but have newly created players be named based on British names.

When I follow your steps above, only the two fictional nations appear. Please note that I no longer have the world_default.xml that was used at league creation (I thought the .xml was only used at that point, not later).

So I'm not sure if that makes sense, but basically I want to start using British names going forward That nationality does not exist in this game.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Hmm. That's an interesting conundrum.

Well, one option would be to replace the names in the existing two sets with your British names, and re-import. That would only work if you never want to generate non-British names again. But if that's your goal, that should work.

Another option would be to add a new nation in-game. Go to Game >> Explore World >> select any nation >> Nation Editor.

In the top right there should be an option to add a new Nation. It will be given a Nation ID automatically, like 52.

Modify your names.txt file and first_names.txt files to include names for that country, then re-import. Again, this will overwrite your existing names, so be sure you want to do this. If you still have the .txt files you used way back in the day, you could start from those...

I haven't tried this, but it SHOULD work.

Edit: Wait, this won't quite work, hold on.
