Custom XMLs causing players to be from Unknown when generated randomly.

I have a custom world_default.xml and names.xml that set up a completely different world. If I generate a player specifically from a nation it works perfectly. But...

Randomly generated players (including all coaches) are given names from my "0" ethnicity, but not given "0" ethnicity's associated nation.

I could put my whole slush of names in ethnicity "0" instead of a purposeful one, which would fix the name issue. But why are the rando's from Unknown?

When I change the randomness in the settings to zero and select percentages of the different nations, creating random players works well. Is this the fix? Not something in the XML?
