First you would need to Hearts of Iron 2\config\world_names.csv and make change the entry for one of the userdefined countries (U00 - U19) to what you want your new country to be called. Now you take the tag for the country you just named and place it in the list of selectable nations in the Scenario File you wish to use it in. Now you must make a .inc File for that nation.
