I may have heard this many times before, but I would probably think that there are some "commonly known" or "financial capital" nations missing in the game. Especially some countries with distinctive motorsport involvement.
I think it would be good if South Korea, yes, South, were added into the game. South Korea has been pretty much involved in motorsports in the recent years in general.
Also a few major nations like Indonesia or Venezuela as well would be a bit interesting to add and see them racing and representing themselves in the game as well.
For the compliation of names of those countries, I may be able to "do a few" of them too.
EDIT: For the names of drivers of "existing" nations, I may add more to prevent duplicates all going around the market.
I would like to introduce more nations. This is something we could look at for the new version coming later this year, but we would need names provided.
If you could assist, we will need 30 of the most common male and female forenames and 30 surnames / family names for each nation (comma-delimited). The list would look something like this:
maleName1, maleName2, maleName3
femaleName1, femaleName2, femaleName3
familyName1, familyName2, familyName3
It is best if they are written in Latin lettering, and we support utf-8 unicode characters. If you have any more questions, just ask. Obtaining a quality list of names will be enough for us to add the nation. In the past, I was quite strict on which nations were "realistic", but I am willing to loosen those restrictions now and introduce nations with large populations (e.g. tens of millions of people at the very least).

OK, I got it.
What about Singapore (about 5M)?
I could get the names for S Korea done in the next few days soon. Can I use the dash "-" in the names?
And for Korean names, I think I would do the way that it will display as something like "S Kim" or something like that?
We can make an exception with Singapore, because they host a grand prix and are an affluent business hub (let's face it, racing is as much about money as anything else). It's realistic that they might produce racing drivers, even with the low population.
I didn't quite understand what you meant by "S Kim", but let's say if the driver is called "John Doe", his name will show up as J Doe in many places in game.
and, also where my country, indonesia in nation list to change drver ationality? (in reward point) ?
The country has to be "in" the game with names list first. So that's why Komehome (Kumho Tires) is listed as Japanese company rather than South Korea on here

I would already suggested Singapore in March when they lost their founding father LKY.
Lee, Kim, Han, Jeong, Nam, Seo, Chung, Mun, Ji, Jeon, Kang, Tae, Seong, Cha, Cho, Wang, Min, Shin, Son, Oh
(20 surnames, South Korean people, or just Korean overall, usually shares the same common surnames, so I couldn't comply it to 30, similar case to the existing China PRC.)
But that's my point they are real names but it looks like someone messing about
Real.
I'm not messing about. You wouldn't expect something like "Ho-Lee ***" here though...
I didn't say you are messing about, I saying there are lots of real life names looks like someone is messing around, that is why I said could be stepping into dangerous territory here.

Good example The surname Cock is derived from the Dutch and Flemish surname de Cock, alternately found as de Cook or de Kok and can be Anglicanised as Cook, and comes from the occupation of a cook.
The name Cock is also a variant spelling of Cox, which is of Old English or Welsh origin, and developed independently of the Dutch and Flemish name.
So where do we draw the line when it comes to people renaming drivers?
