Details:
Split from bug #24126:
The only circumstance I know of where player name affects nation selection is
when there is a named player in pregame (either a human with that username, or
a human exploiting bug #24170, or a /created player). At server start,
generate_players() tries to assign nations based on player name.
In this case, it picks the first nation it finds with a matching leader name,
which is determinsitic; so Anna always leads the Brandenburgians and never the
Bretons.
If we want to legitimise duplicate leader names, we could make it pick
randomly from matching nations instead.
