I'm not even sure putting them all into just one league is even a good idea. Also, during my last failed attempt to do this, the teams ended up running out of players do to the fact they can only have players from their nation. I made sure each nation generated the same number of players for drafts, but it still didn't work. This is obviously quite the undertaking.
On a random side note, I love fictional historical leagues, but the players just never live up to what we really saw in reality. What I mean is that during the 1920s, for example, there is never a Babe Ruth type player that comes around, belting 60 homers in a season. OOTP doesn't seem to know how to generate players that are exceptions to the averages seen in the eras. Sure there are great players, but no one ever seems to do the things real players did. I mean, I don't usually have anyone hit over 40 home runs until almost 1950. That's just silly.

My advice is to start small. I tried to do what you're doing with OOTP15 and got so burnt out that I only made it through like 30 teams before I never touched it again.
My dynasty now which is in the forums is slated to be more complex, but I'm adding to it over time and playing it in God mode while I do it. It's so much more fun, and allows me to think more strategically and make it fit within the game. It's now a long-term project for me.
Eventually, once I do add all of the leagues and national teams like I want, the goal is to leave God mode and play as a GM and work my way up, but that's probably a long way away.
This is a great idea. Just make sure you don't get frustrated because it is a lot of inputting and checking, that's the mistake I made the first time.
