[mb-style] Evil overlord implementation: Historical Countries and Europe

OK, short of minor corrections I did not see any significant arguments 
that should change my course. Thus I've changed/added the following 
countries:


 id  | isocode |  name
-+-+
  61 | TL  | East Timor
 235 | YU  | Yugoslavia (historical, 1918-1992)
 236 | CD  | Congo, The Democratic Republic of the
 239 | XU  | [Unknown Country]

 244 | XG  | East Germany (historical, 1949-1990)
 245 | XC  | Czechoslovakia (historical, 1918-1992)

Also, FX, France Metropolitan has been removed. Note that the country 
code for the DDR was suggested as XD, but since the name was changed, I 
ended up using XG.


Finally, the rule for creating more historical countries is not 
governed by an arbitrary number of releases for a country, but by "the 
currently accepted community decision making process".


If someone wanted to propose a new historical country today, said 
person would propose this country on this list and the community will 
discuss the merit of the suggestion. If the community can't decide, we 
kick the idea back to me, the evil overlord. This process may change 
over time, thus the phrasing of the 'currently accepted process'.


Your evil overlord has spoken!
