Finding nations

There needs to be a better, more efficient method installed in finding nations by use of the 'search' option. You should be able to perform simple executions such as...

*Being able to search nations alphabetically by clicking on "A" or "t" and getting the nations that start with those letters instead of sifting through the nations at a maximum 4 pages jump.
*Be able to type part of a nations name and all matching or near-matched appear
*Increase the amount of pages one can jump while searching for nations.

The system right now is pratically unusable. :gundge: You would have to click for hours to get to the middle of the alphabet! Please fix this!

The system right now is really unwieldy, yes, but the way the nation files are arranged is apparently not conducive to nice sorting. So... you can jump around by modifying the address of the page you're on.

Change the start number to jump from A's to B's to C's and so on. It will involve a bit of guess work, but you don't have to click repeatedly. And the same thing will work on the list of nations in your region or whatever.
