Nation information
Open a nation's Information page to find its general details, nationality settings and agreements.
Nation details
Name, Unique Id and Capital identify the nation and are read-only here. Select Capital to open the city. The editable fields include:
| Field | What it records |
|---|---|
| Continent | The nation's continent. |
| Development | Its development category. |
| Economic Factor | Its economic-factor value. |
| Years to Gain Nationality | The number of years in the nation's nationality setting. |
| Gain Nationality Type | Whether the setting uses Accumulative or Continuous residence. |
| Does not allow dual nationality | The nation's dual-nationality setting. |
Change the field you need, then select Save Changes. Reopen the nation to check the saved value.
For an individual player's nationality, use Personal details or Relationships.
Agreements and nationality treatment
Agreements lists the nation's agreements. Nations treated as EU and Nations Treated As Non-Foreign list other nations and their treatment types. EU means European Union.
Each row has From and Until dates. Football Manager applies a row only between those dates. An empty box reads No limit. The status beside each row says what the game makes of the dates on the current in-game day:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Active (green) | The row counts today. |
| From a date (amber) | The row starts later and does not count yet. |
| Ended a date (grey) | The row's end date has passed and it no longer counts. |
Change an agreement, a nation, a Type or a date, then select Save Changes. Clearing a date box saves it as no limit.
Use + to add a row and - to remove the selected one. An added or removed row is written to the game at once and can't be undone from Edit History. A new agreement row starts with no limit on either date, so it counts straight away. Adding to the two treatment lists is unavailable with some connections to the game, and the + tooltip says so.
EU membership
The game counts a nation as an EU member while it has an Active agreement row for the European Union, the EEA or EFTA. The EU Member column in nation search results gives the same answer. A nation without such a row needs work permits for foreign players at its clubs. To put England back in the EU, see Remove Brexit.
