How can I create new countries and how many countries can I create?

First, go in config folder in your HoI2 directory and open file world_names.csv. There you can see country tags and reserve tags - from U00 to U19. There will be (User Defined) caption right to them. Replace this caption with the name of country which you want to add - and so the U** will became tag for this country. Further you must add flag and shield for this country, for this look in folders gfx/map/flags and gfx/map/shields. File with flag must have name flag_u**.bmp, where ** is number (but I think you understood this) and file with shield must have name shield_u**.bmp. This is the minimum, and the same way you can add ministers, techteams and leaders for the country. And ajust where it can revolt by editing db/revolt.txt.

I'm editing a Nation for a Scenario purpose.
To I don't manage to insert it into the Scenario (a revision of 1936) and manage to get the scenario listed in SP.
Here the error:

(scenario info: unexpected field) 'WEI = {'line = 25 file = scenarios\1936_weimar.eug

If I try to go in the db directory and modify Country file, to add WEI, I get a DB error on start, which blocks the game on loading after the intro.

(scenario info: unexpected field) 'WEI = {'line = 25 file = scenarios\1936_weimar.eug

Did you check for a missing '}' ?

Change everywhere WEI to U19 or U13 or U-something-else-what-is-avaiable.
You can ever try to replace any country by changing its tag to WEI (for examle, if you don't need Germany or France ), but this way don't works properly, causing weeeeeird things... At least, on my computer.
