How to create an off-map country?

How to create an off-map country?
The most simple way with minimum changes to vanilla files.
This country will be used only as a temporary repository for leaders from other countries.

Thanks in advance!

I think:

in the province.csv file, some of the terrain will have a 0 value. Just assign the Uxx tag you are using to control one of those provinces in its INC file, I think that will work.

I've done it.

Changed files:

\config\world_names.csv
\db\revolt.txt
\db\Province.csv
\gfx\map\flags\ - add an empty flag for the country
\gfx\map\shields\ - add an empty shield for the country
\scenarios\1936.eug
\scenarios\1936\u00.inc

Can any of these files be skipped?

Since the country exists from the start it doesn't have to have an entry in revolt.txt.

Good to know that. Thank you!

Sorry, I didn't get what I've to do in the Province.csv file, I couldn't find any entry in the terrain column with value = 0 or empty.
I will add a offmap playable nation. As I'm skilled in addind ordinary new countries all other stuff is ready, I'm just wondering how to make a nation withou controled/owned provinces work.
