After copying the savedgames folder to the desktop, the game appears on the list, but when I select the game, there are no nations on the list. Please advise.
It sounds like you copied *only* the savedgames folder. You need to copy the whole dom3 folder to the desktop. Dom3 always looks for saved games relative to the executable, so if the game is installed at

c:\Users\Bob\Desktop\Dom3

it will look for saved games at

c:\Users\Bob\Desktop\Dom3\savedgames

and mods at

c:\Users\Bob\Desktop\Dom3\mods
