This seems largely good in principle, except relegating people to minor roles and having NPC controlled major powers seems to take away the potential majesty of the game.

The idea is roles similar to the Balkans, Southeast Asia, or the Midle East during the Cold War. The nation may not be as large or gandiose but can still easily become the center for politics in the world. This also takes some strain off the players if they are newer to NRPs I feel as they do not need to manage things like military equipment as much and can use the major powers as crutches in areas they are weak such as spy games.

I did not see an immediate flaws in your guys countries, I will need to read over them more thoroughly though
