Tying namesets to States/Provinces

Is there a way to tie a nameset to a province or territory?
Let's say I want people from Quebec to mainly use French names, and people from Ontario to use mainly Anglo names.

No, as far as I know it's not possible to assign different ethnic percentages to states/provinces. That's a longstanding request to the developers, but I'm sure it's a pretty low priority for them.

The way to do what you want is to change the state/province into a nation. Not the optimal solution, but by making Quebec into a nation you at least get to do what the PQ has been trying to achieve for the last 50 years.

Ah, that's a shame. I may as well make a suggestion thread, because I've been making my own Database from scratch and I have a few other ideas that can go along with this (state capitals for instance, or make nations modular/supernations). Was worth a shot, thanks.
