The generic ideas for AI should definitely not be there, I'm not sure why it was (it was only there in a handful of cases e.g. Spain and France) but I've already eliminated it for 1.30.
I believe the main reason for the custom nation check is so that you don't get the cheapest ideas and buff your country with everything else, then just immediately form another nation and get much stronger ideas.
