First mod file: common/country_definitions/00_alt_history_countries.txt
Defines tags, colors, tiers, primary cultures, capitals for:
- 5 Tier 1 great powers (Song, Rome, England, Germany, Ilkhanate)
- 3 Tier 1.5 (Japan, Kalmar, Bohemia)
- 5 Tier 2 (France, Aragon, Jianzhou, Portuguese S.America, Morocco)
- 5 Tier 2.5 (Burgundy, Korea, Egypt, Castile, Illyria, Byzantium)
- 8 Tier 3 (Great Khanate, Northern Ulus, Mongol Khanate, Poland GD, Bulgaria, Khoqand, Granada, E.Chagatai, Siam)
- 5 Formable/releasable (Songhai, Maratha, Timurid India, Mysore, Australian colony)

Uses existing V3 cultures/states as placeholders — custom cultures/religions to be added later.
