International Leagues, Foreigner Limits, and Drafting

This problem came out of a discussion on this thread.

I created an League based in the US. There are 2 subleagues with 3 divisions each. Each division is made up of teams from different countries. I set the foreigner limit to 10 players per team, where a foreigner is defined as someone not from that TEAM's country. I did this and 3 levels of minors and got all set to sim my 20 years.

I can't get past my first day of spring training because the initial draft pool does not have enough players from the required nations. I have a free agent pool of some 3,300 players, but there's no room for them on any roster, and besides, they're mostly from the US, which defeats the purpose.

I'd imagine that this league is hosed, but how do I get around this problem in my next league?
