Re: why the Czech Republic is \"Czechoslovakia\"
The way the code is set up it is not possible to change a nations name . There is simply no connection to the nations names list and any code to change that to comething else at a specific date. It's not an "error", we are well aware "Czechoslovakia" ceased existing as "Czechoslovakia" On 1 January 1993 but it is impossible to rename it "Czech Republic" without ending the OOB so we decided to keep the OOB and the name "Czechoslovakia" rather than create a separate "Czech Republic" OOB just so we could change the name of the country. Also complicating the process, the name "Czechoslovakia" that appears in the game pops up in a dozen places in the code so to even attempt to "fix" what amounts to a very minor "problem" would require a great deal of effort and much re-writing of code .
That's why the Czech Republic is "Czechoslovakia" past 1992
