During the 1700s and 1800s Irish units fought in the Austrian, French, 
Spanish (IIRC, not sure), Mexican, United States, and British armies.  
Plus I'm sure I've missed a few.  Ireland during that time period 
produced two things.  Irishmen and potatoes.  And not enough of the 
latter to provide for the former.  So Irishmen left Ireland (even today 
Ireland's biggest export item is Irishmen) for wherever they could get 
a job.	Including whatever armies were hiring.

Probably.  Hungary, Chezchs, Slovaks, Slovenia, Croatia.  Bosnia goes 
Islamic Federation (!), Serbs go Romanov, Macedonians do whatever the 
Serbs tell them.  Albania probably ends up FSE due to historic ties to 
Italy.	Romania and Bulgaria go Romanov?  At least in my universe.

Ummm . . . well, in my background is a bit different--Turks run the 
Islamic Fed.  But I don't see them in with NSL or FSE, really.
