Abandoning Nations UI

[mk11]

Sometimes I find myself needing to go through the nation list and abandon a number of them to reduce the amount over cap (e.g. just gained a China control point).

The UI is a mess for doing this:

1. Would be nice to see the total control point cost in the list (can get it from the contril point tooi-tip so not that bad)

2. When click on the go to nation button the nation details pops up under the nation window so can't easily adjust custom priorities but can get at "Abandon Nation"

3. When click on Abandon Nation the confirmation dialog is under the Nation window so have to close that. Then need to reopen it for the next nation.

In the Nations windows, there is a button at the bottom "Control Points", that tells you where all your CP is being spent in a neat summary.

Huh, this is indeed a weird UI glitch (?):
a) It seems when you have a Nation selected, then open the Nations windows and click on any of the 'go to nation' buttons, then the nations overview indeed opens in the background, blocked by the larger Nations window.
b) However if you have no nation selected prior to clicking on 'go to nation' then the Nations window closes by itself, leaving room for the nation overview to open in the foreground.

I am not sure which of these is preferrable. Best case, the UI would leave enough room to accomodate both the Nations window and the nation overview?

The control point summary is okay but it has a few problems:

1. It is ordered by control point cost and not the same as the main list (which can't be sorted by control point cost - sorting on control point I'm not sure what that does) which makes it harder to cross-reference back to Nations list

2. It doesn't have the flags so harder to cross-reference from Nations to the list as you need to parse all the entries to find the country name

As for the UI behaviour. For reviewing nations in general I think
1. Have the country specific window pop-up over the Nations window without closing that
2. Have <> arrows on the country specific window so can cycle through the nations using the filter and order from the nations window.
