The Roster folder is to specifically assign ships to different nations, but the names have to be tied to the main Sea folder listings. To control the names that finely it would be necessary to create a new class for each country for each ship. I looked into this with the Liberties, and in fact if you check the list I gave you you'll see 'NLLUS', 'NLLUK', 'NLLDU', 'NLLCH', 'NLLRU', 'NLLNO' etc. The bad news is that each time you do that it extends the loading time by a couple of seconds and increases the risk of CTDs from overloading the system. It might be possible to do it for a couple of classes, but more than 100? And how many countries?

As I've said, SH4 makes it so you can assign ships to nations without creating new classes. I spend every day wishing there was an SH4 Commander.
