Assist in creation of the first Nationstates Mod!

I am currently working on what is, to the best of my knowledge, the first modification for Nationstates. It uses the XML feed of a NS nation and some of the formulas from the NSEconomy source code to calculate the statistics for a nation. However, my new game, entitled Terra Vosem, is much different than NationStates in many ways. Here is a short list of new features:

1. Actual maps with real and fictional continents. You can see what your country looks like!
2. Trading with other nations to boost your economy!
3. WAR!!! WOOOO! Your military is based on a number of factors, including your military budget (set by you), the attitude of your people, and the technology available to your nation.
4. Unlike an Earth RP, territories can be split, and the maps are updated AUTOMATICALLY!
5. Any nation of any age can join! Just because a nation has existed for a longer period of time DOES NOT make it any bigger than a nation just recently created! Population is determined by the territories you own and the people who live there! You want more people? Build more skyscrapers!

The list goes on and on. See more on the Terra Vosem forums at www.zifos.com.

Anyway, the real reason I made this thread is because Terra Vosem currently has over 250 territories. I don't have names for them all. Each territory needs a name, an ID number, the owner's ID number, a population, and an trade export.

If you want to help create Terra Vosem plus have one or more territories named however you want, then go to LINK REMOVED! HAHA!

WARNING! I am trusting the general population of NS with the names and data of my territories! Obviously I will have to go through all of these entries and make adjustments, but I would like to have to do as little of that as possible. Please adhere to the following guidelines:

1. The name of the territory should have something to do with the land it occupies in RL Earth. For example, I have named a territory that takes up most of France Vrankreich.
2. The ID number should correspond with the ID on the map, which is at www.zifos.com/terravosem.jpg (56K WARNING! THIS FILE IS ONE MEGABYTE IN SIZE! SPOOKY!)
3. The populations and exports of a territory should not be more than 25% to 35% bigger than the nation they would be in RL. Please try to stick to this one, it is what's going to take me the most time to correct.

That's about it. Again, a recap of links:

LINK REMOVED! HAHA!
www.zifos.com/terravosem.jpg to see the map with territory IDs.

Also, I know that Antarctica is not in the middle of the Pacific. BUT I WANT IT TO BE THERE, GOD DAMN IT! :P

Do not assume that this is some half-assed project that will never even be started. I have already written some major parts of the code, such as the nation statistics calculation, military forumlas are half-done, and I am currently working on population dispositions.

Well its all well and good, but if you're trying to RP a theortical nation it wont be supported at all will it. That type of things OK if you're one of those epople who doesnt liek to think outside of the box.

Blarg... Exports are not a string, they are a number representing the extra trade generated..

That seems appropriate...

Also, no more territory adding.
