Lucky Nations For Ante Bellum

A small submod/fix for Ante Bellum, since the mod's list of lucky nations is currently pretty antiquated. For example, the base mod's lucky nations still includes the Qing and Manchu, even though they no longer exist in the mod.

This mod also adds additional countries to the list, so that if the AI somehow successfully forms these nations, they will receive some bonuses to give them some momentum to make them more formidable opponents and to add some realism in some cases.

The new list of lucky nations is:
1. Francia
2. Nizzarids*
3. Lotharingia
4. Andalusia/Iberia*
5. Seljuks
6. England/Great Britain
7. Sicily
8. Bulgaria
9. Germany
10. Russia/Ruthenia
11. Austria
12. The Netherlands
13. Yuan
14. Japan
14. Poland/Intermarium*
15. Scandinavia*
16. Moravia

Countries marked with * will lose the lucky nation modifier after the year 1700. Japan can't receive lucky bonus before the year 1700.

Obviously some of the countries don't exist at start date and there can only be 8 lucky nations at a time, here's a list of the starting 8 lucky nations (+ the 9th if a player controls one of the earlier ones):

1. Francia
2. Nizzarids
3. Lotharingia
4. Andalusia/Iberia
5. England/Great Britain
6. Sicily
7. Bulgaria
8. Yuan
9. Moravia

And here's the list at 1700 (assuming all possible nations exist, which is highly unlikely):

1. Francia
2. Lotharingia
3. England/Great Britain
4. Sicily
5. Bulgaria
6. Germany
7. Russia/Ruthenia
8. The Netherlands
9. Yuan
10. Japan

I'm open to updating/expanding the list if any justified suggestions are made.
