As long as there are enough for them all to start with 9, it's no real bother. I haven't been looking at individual provinces at all, I just do the count from Nation Overview to see how many they've lost, and grab the rest of the numbers from the overview bar.
Everyone has 11 provinces already given to them. That's why it lists what nations should be used. You don't have to touch the "new game" settings at all: there are no random magic sites, there are no independents, all provinces that a nation can get it already has. Making the pretenders is more work, but if you make them once in Game Tools even that's fast. That only leaves actual turn generation, and number crunching. The most boring part was "22 fire, plus 18 air, plus 31 water, plus 12 earth, plus 11 death, plus 27 nature makes for, umm, 90-somethin, hmm..." It's easy enough to do for the first time, but your mind goes numb when you're at the eighth nation for the fourth time.
