First, any nation that does not now have a country went into "Historical".

Then, a few nations that do have countries went from "Modern" to "Historical"
because the list of city names and the leaders were all historical.  The
two serious exception cases were the Irish and the Mongols.  The Mongols
have a city list that includes a bunch of central Asian cities from their
Empire period.  All the Irish leaders were ancient.  So I moved them.

I'm trying to supply an interesting snippet of history or geography for
each country.
