After a conversation where another person asked an overhaul maker to change the Rank Names I started thinking how to make the Rank Names more modular. This is the result: When you select your country, that will change the rank structure/names for your soldiers to be based off that country's rank structure

Version b1.0
Initial release with limited INT configuration filled in. Modification to Rank Names depending on player's Home Country, impacts Enlisted and Officer Rank Names.
If you have ever changed the rank names yourself for your soldiers then you're aware that it's not that difficult, that being said I decided it might be fun/interesting for players to make the rank name more modular within the game to prevent the desire of changing the names yourself.
Soldier Rank Names will now change depending on the starting country you choose when loading into a game
The mod is compatible with existing saves and will modify the Rank Names upon loading a save
You can set both Enlisted & Officer Rank Names in the INT file within the download
The following Countries currently have Officer Ranks established within the attached "RanksDeterminedByLocation.int" :

The following Countries currently have Enlisted Ranks established within the attached "RanksDeterminedByLocation.int" :

If you want to submit translations or suggest modifications to the existing Rank Names you're welcome to comment on here or you can join our discord. There will be a discord link within the Installation Guide .txt or you can find me(Alandauron) on szmind's discord "Ogre's Swamp" if you have already joined that one.
I intend to eventually search for the Rank Names myself but those will be from online wikis so if you want to help me out by sending more accurate ranks for the 16 Council nations in the game I am open to them. Thanks to everyone who is trying out my mod and I look forward to your feedback.
