The value is a comma-separated list of country IDs from [Houses], matched without regard to case. Do not put spaces after the commas: a name with a leading space matches no country. A name that matches no country is skipped.

The list decides these things:

  • Production. A BuildingType with an empty list cannot be built, except under DoubleOwned=yes outside campaign games. Otherwise the house also needs a construction yard that acts as one of the listed countries, unless MultiMCV=yes is set. For every kind of object, the factory that builds it must share at least one country with it, so a factory and a product with no country in common never pair up. Ownership gives the full test.
  • Computer base planning. Base planning and the role lists it uses consider only types whose list includes the country the house acts as.
  • Multiplayer starting units. A house receives a starting vehicle or infantry type only if the type lists the house’s country. AllowedToStartInMultiplayer must also be set.
  • Dropship loadout. The loadout screen offers only types that list the player’s country.
  • Crate vehicles. A crate’s random vehicle reward picks only CrateGoodie=yes types that list the country the collector’s house acts as.

Outside campaign games, DoubleOwned=yes replaces the list for production only, with a mask of the first 31 countries in [Houses]. The other uses read the list as written.

The list can name only the first 32 countries in [Houses]. Do not rely on a later country owning any type.
