Dossier Improvement Suggestion

Hey everyone,

I'm sure you've heard this about a hundred thousand times, but just in case, I thought I'd drop you a suggestion.

Several times I've looked at my dossier and wondered who some of the people on it are an why I added them. Maybe a column could be added to the dossier to have a small text area that'd allow nations to save a 50 character description or something. I know I'd love to be able to look and see "Asked for forum help" (or something to ID a nation) as a description for someone I didn't recognize.

Would that be way to difficult or memory-consuming? I don't know, I just think it's a dossier, and isn't a dossier supposed to be a highly detailed treasure chest of info?

If you can't remember why you added them, it suggests you haven't kept in touch. Maybe time to delete such mystery nations? Other than that, honestly, it doesn't seem like something to bug our techs to write into the code.
