HOW TO CREATE A NATION? and add league in the nation..
thanks in advance =)
Well, generally you need some sort of war of independence, unless you somehow make some sort of casual, amiable break up with your former host-nation.

These are the regions currently going through internal conflict where you can possibly mount a successful coup

Somaliland vs. Somalia
Burma vs. itself
Laos vs. itself
Papau vs. itself
North West India vs. India
the Kony war of Uganda
Shia vs. Yemen
South Thailand vs. Thailand
Kosovo vs. Serbia
North Caucasus vs. Russia

Best of luck, and Godspeed. I look forward to reading the news.

Also, if you succeed, I require one Ferrari 375 Droptop delivered to my home address, which you will be given once I read the newspaper :)

I made one out of a region of england. You can check it out and download the appropriate file here: Lincs & Humber Nation Database for FM12.

Pretty simple process.

Guide to Creating a Regional Database

Last updated 06/12/2011

I am swapping into a custom nation from England for this example, it will leave England in a playable and relatively untouched state:
NOTE: Enable editing the continent in the editor (see here how)

1- Replace a Defunct nation... C.I.S ore Pre-1922 Ireland are pretty good, overwrite one with your nations details and clear out anything that is not relevant. Set its continent to Europe! (see above link)

2- Identify which cities you want to include in your nation and change their nation

3- Idenfity all the people associated with those cities and change nationality to your nation (see posts later in this thread on who to include and who to exclude from those who are born in your nation)

4- Add a league in the competition tab, name it and set its nation to your nation and with the correct continent.

5- Add a the required number of English teams from "A lower league" (they will take on your nations nationality but dont worry about it).
A tip: try just 6-8 teams to start with and filter out any from the "a lower division" with a "Next Division" and "Last Division" set.

6- In England identify the required teams, swap each time with a team from a lower league without a "Next Division" and "Last Division" set, if your identified team has one set manually change it to a team without one.

7- Continue this until all your teams are in a non playable league (below BSS/BSN on default database)

8- Swap the teams from your custom league into the non playable league, this will automatically correct the teams nationalities (handy isn't it :) ).

9- Europe only (as far as I know): Set all the spaces in the nations coefficient section to 0.20 (or 0.17), for more continental qualification places match your nations coefficients to a nation of the same level you want, if you get negative numbers for cup places in the game try different coefficients.

10-Add the national rules so your league is playable.

11- Test! - Note any potential changes or issues and revise

12- Repeat steps 4 AND 8 for the next league down, when adding custom teams there is no need to do step 8. Just set the nationality to your nation and the competition to your league.

13- When all your teams are in and all your leagues are done add some cups

14- Check all club relationships for possible feeder clubs in the same division as each other.

15- Test again! - Note any potential changes or issues and revise

16- add any extra details such as graphics, awards etc

17- Pop it up here for beta or release, depending on how the tests went :)

Always remember! Save often to a new file (1.00, 1.01, 1.02 etc), write down the major changes for each version and test frequently!

I edited your post to include link to the approved / validated submission of yours.
Very good guide by the way. We should definitely turn this into a proper article if you want.
I have written some before :)

Stole it from a post I made on the SI forum as I thought it would help.

I can rewrite it as when I wrote it I wasnt that good at BB code so it could be formatted better.

I do love to help people and I think I have good knowledge to share in this area... if people want to hear it :)
Hi, thanks so much for the guide.

I ran into 2 major problems that I was hoping you could help me with.

I changed Crimea to Cornwall, moved it to the UK region, deleted all Crimean citied etc and added all Cornish cities. Changed all nationalities of English people born in Cornwall to Cornish. Made the competitions etc etc.

Now the problems when I start a new game. I can select Cornwall as an active league but...

1. I cannot select Cornwall as manageable nation. Players appear as Cornish but I cannot click on that as a link. Also I have no option to load all players from this country.

2. When I auto fill the teams with no players in they all end up being Russian. Now I thought I had covered this by deleting all the Crimean cities and moving the Crimean region to the Ukraine, but whatever I do it does not create Cornish players.

Please, any help would be so much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I downloaded your database, its working perfectly , i am able to select a cornish nationality and the regens have english names...all i did was verify the database
How would you turn Europe into a federal state with the federations being regions (i.e. Scandinavia, UK & Ireland, Balkans, Northern Europe, Central Europe...) and then have those regions broken into smaller regions that represent current nations or parts of current nations (i.e. divide France in two to have one part being in Northern Europe and the Other in Mediterranean West)?
