We have updated our Community Code of Conduct. Please read through the new rules for the forum that are an integral part of Paradox Interactive’s User Agreement.
You should only change the names in localisation/text. Changing the country files won't make any difference. And you need a MOD file, otherwise you can't play the mod. 
What Descartes said.
Also, as I mentioned in the main discussion thread you posted, most of the names you've changed are wrong anyway.
You used "Aegyptus", that's the Latin form. Presumeably you want the names the rulers would have called the country, in which case you'd want Aigyptos (eye-GOOP-toss), which is the Greek form.
You used "Arkae Seleukid", that's just weird. The -ae dipthong is very much Latin, but the K is very Greek. If you used a C instead to make it fully Latin, you'd get the word for "box". Ho hum. "Seleukid" is also no better than "Seleucid", it just becomes the Anglicised form of the Greek rather than the Latin. You probably want Arkhe Seleukeia (ar-kheh sel-YOUK-eye-a [the "kh" sound is like the noise you make when you cough up phlegm]) instead (I actually have no idea why EB uses "Arche" when "Arkhe" would be the proper Greek transliteration...I'm sure they have some reason, though) which means "Empire of the Seleukoses" rather than "Box Seleukid".
Makedonia is fine.
You used "Romanoi", which is the Greek form. If you're following the EB naming structure of each country's name being what it called itself, this should be Romani instead ("Romani" being the nom. pl. of "Romanus" which would refer to a single Roman).
In any case, if you want to follow this naming structure, then there's a heck of a lot of work ahead of you. The Achaean League should be renamed "Koinas Akhaias" (COY-nass akh-EYE-as [though my memory of Greek grammar is a little fuzzy]), for example. A lot of research would have to go into this kind of mod, rather than just copying (and rather badly, at that) from an existing mod for another game.

Okay, I get the picture
o. This was more a 'test' mod rather than an actual mod.Perhaps someone who actually speaks Latin and Greek should try this idea...
