Okay, as Andreas mentioned in another thread, it looks like the separate ethnicities file has been done away with and its contents incorporated into the "world_default" file.

So my question is this: To add a new ethnicity, one would merely do the following?

1.) Add the following line to the "world_default" file under "<ETHNICITIES>" after line 39.

Example:

<ETHNICITY id="40" name="Cuban" african="10" asian="0" east_indian="0" caucasian="64" hispanic="26" />

2.) Add the names to be associated with this new ethnicity to the "names" and "first names" files respectively.

Example (names):

Raht,1,40
Heinsohn,1,40

(BTW, nice touch, guys. LOL!)

Example (first_names):

Hein,200,40
Hannes,100,40
Kuddel,100,40

3.) Make the following changes to the nation you want to associate this new ethnicity with in the world_default file.

Example:

<NATION id="49" name="Cuba" pop="11239363" etid="40" capid="31031" gender="0" bbqual="5" abbr="CUB" dem="Cuban" time_zone="-5" observes_dst="1">


Is that about the size of it?

*****************************

EDIT: This was a careless oversight on my part. The following line must also be edited under the nation whose ethnicity you're trying to change:


<ETHN_PCTS>
<ETHN_PCT etid="40" pct="100" />

So, for clarity's sake, the first 7 or so lines under the nation you're editing should look like so:

<NATION id="49" name="Cuba" pop="11239363" etid="40" capid="31031" gender="0" bbqual="5" abbr="CUB" dem="Cuban" time_zone="-5" observes_dst="1">
<SECOND_NATIONS>
<SECOND_NATIONS id="70" pct="2" use_name="0" />
<SECOND_NATIONS id="178" pct="1" use_name="1" />
</SECOND_NATIONS>
<ETHN_PCTS>
<ETHN_PCT etid="40" pct="100" />
</ETHN_PCTS>

Note: There are four lines devoted to "Second Nations". Not every nation I've checked has these additional lines of code, so I'm going to assume they're optional. I don't know what effect deleting or not deleting them will have on the overall distribution of names, so I'm going to leave them alone for now and report back if it skews the results I'm expecting.
