Caribbean data issues

Hi there,

A number of data issues in the Caribbean outside of the big Baseball nations, I'll keep updating this as I notice them

Trinidad and Tobago's capital is not Chaguanas, it's Port of Spain
Netherland Antilles is problematic - Bonaire is now separately administered and should be separate from Sint Eustatius and Saba - The Netherland Antilles were dissolved in 2010
Ethnicity is problematic - the majority of players come out as white. The naming convention is somewhat right - the names typically have British origins for the ex-British colonies, but will be more limited in scope with regards to surnames. You might need a separate category "Afro-Caribbean" which might fit nicely with USA ethnicity trends. Technically there should also be an "Indo-Caribbean" group given the ethnic make-up of the Caribbean - they make up the majority in some islands (Trinidad especially).

Thanks for reading

Edit/update

Problems still abound in OOTP 18 - the ones above plus these below;

Surinam is part of North America culturally, despite being in the South American Landmass.
Suriname, French Guiana, and Guyana are Culturally Caribbean, but aren't in the Caribbean or West Indies Regions
Port of Spain's population is 160,000 and is the capital of T&T
Diego Martin a sa region only contains Mucurapo, but Diego Martin is a town and region (technically you'd have places like Diamond Vale, Bagatelle etc)
