There are no inherent problems. Many leagues, including my own, do this, by both modding the existing nations and names, and by adding original new ones to the files.

The nations and cities are built in when a league is launched, and cannot be changed. They are frozen in place at the moment of the league's birth. The names files, and the ethnicities file which controls the distribution of the names, can be updated and changed at any time.

They only need to be in the Commissioner's databases folder. They aren't part of the league file, and no one else needs to have them on their computers.
