The syntax for the OOTP 11 text files is a little different then previous versions, but if you open up the default nations.txt it should give you an idea of what to do. You don't need Excel, though OpenOffice would be fine too, you can simply create one through Notepad. I've noticed over the past few months that you ask a LOT of questions, in which roughly 90% have previously been answered. It might be very beneficial to get familiar with the search function...I think the search function is one of the most underrated features of the forum. Doing a search on the this topic is definitely more effective then posting a redundant question, in the least trafficked part of the board.
