Hello, I've come across this thread while searching to solve a very similar issue!
I've edited San Marino to replace them, and create a new nation called "Canary Islands". They're basically taking over everything that has local region Canarias.
So I changed every San Marino national to be Italian, and removed all of the cities. I then added all of the cities from the Canaries to the country, and added "Canary Islands" as the nationality of all of the players who should have it.
However, when I try to load players into the game, probably 80% of them have Italian names and about 30% have Italian as a second nationality. I've checked, and the only language is Spanish.
This seems to suggest that it's hard coded, as surely it would just pull from the pool of around 600 names that are currently tagged as Canary Islands names?
Any help is much appreciated!
