I think I broke CFS3, need help!

Well, I've been tinkering with the inner workings of CFS3 and added the awesome ETO package to my game. The scenery is truly amazing and the new effects are stunning! I however have many custom mods, tweaks, and add-ons that I wanted to preserve so I manually added the ETO content to CFS3. Now this is where it got messed up!

Now when I try to play a mission, quick combat, or anything else I get this error message:
Can't load the campaign file "nek_ETO.xml". Reason: Unknown alliance "Axis".

I have no idea what this means or how to fix it! I can still play the game after clicking "OK" but I can't complete any missions because once the game tries to load the mission completed menu the sim crashes to the desktop. Every object in the game also shows up as an enemy to me with the exception of wingmen! I looked at the nek_ETO.xml and I can't make heads or tails of the problem.

If anyone has any clues as to a fix or possible solutions please let me know!

Thanks!
 
This is linked to the country.xml and the campaign xml. I honestly can't tell you much more, but basically it means that there is a nationality in country.xml that should appear (but doesn't) in the campaign xml which CFS3 "reads" from in all missions/QC situations to know who is who. The precise fix I can't tell you about. Grizz will know...
 
Greg when I get home from work I can forward you my country.xml's and see if those work for you. I have most of that stuff added and have no issues.
