I understand what you mean. But we had to join some of the countries, as we are struggling with the 31 civ limit. So for example, Italy is joined with Greece, Spain with Portugal, etc.
The idea was that since Poland is a NATO member, the only choice was to join it with Germany. In the future we may give Poland a separate civ, though.
But this issue is important for YOU, isn't it? Well, load the scenario in the editor, then right-click on Warsaw and click "Reassign", then choose Russia or Yougoslavia, whatever. Same for Gdanks. Save the scenario (probably by different name), and load it in the game. That was easy, wasn't it? 
Please, let's continue on the dedicated forum. I don't have the time to visit 2 forums at once, that's why I wanted this thread to be for announcements only.

I'm re-posting the FAQ here if that's easier for you 
World 2003 Scenario Frequently Asked Questions
Requirements:
- Civilization III Play The World (version 1.14f or newer)
- Windows 98/2000/XP/.NET (to use the package installer)
- Intel Pentium/Celeron or AMD Athlon/Duron, 500MHz
Recommended system:
- Windows 2000/XP/.NET
- Intel Pentium 4 1.6GHz, AMD Athlon XP 1800
Installation
1. How to install this scenario?
You need to download four required packages: Scenario, Expansion Pack 1, Expansion Pack 2 and Expansion Pack 3. This is also the order of installation.
You may need to unpack (unzip) the packages to a folder of your choice. Each ZIP archive should contain a single file, the package installer. If you encounter any errors (i.e. file corrupted, etc.), try downloading the file again, or use a different decompression utility such as WinZIP, WinRAR, WinACE. Using Microsoft Windows XP's "compressed folder" utility is not recommended.
After unpacking all files, simply double-click on each unpacked file, and follow the instructions to complete the installation.
When installing the Scenario itself (first package), you will be prompted to provide the location of your Civ3 Play The World folder. The installer can guess this location by itself, but please verify this location.
All further Expansion Packs will install to the Scenarios folder (inside Civ3 PTW folder) and the folder location will be provided automatically.
Remember, it is necessary to download and install the above mentioned packages. Saved games are provided for your convenience, and although being optional themselves, they do require the above mentioned packages.
If you wish to play pre-saved games, make sure to download a saved game version which corresponds to the latest version of the scenario.
Playing
2. It appears to be running slow. Is there anything wrong??
The world situation is very complex. There are millions of troops with various equipment deployed world wide. The size of the world map, sheer amount of units and cities make the scenario load slowly and run slowly.
On a Duron 1.3GHz it takes about 3 hours to load the scenario, but only a minute or two to load the saved game. We recommend playing the released saved games, usually they're available for countries such as USA, UK, and currently, Iraq.
On the same computer as mentioned above, it can take about 15 minutes for the AI turn to complete.
3. When I try to load the scenario, the game hangs, is "Not Responding", the screen is black.
During the loading process, Civilization doesn't refresh the screen, that's why it's black. The game may appear to be "Not Responding", but it's just loading the scenario.
Also see question 2.
4. How can I make it run faster?
Make sure to disable all animations for other civs' unit movements, in the Preferences menu. You can also disable showing unit movement. Those settings will help speed up the AI turn.
5. Can I play as one of the other 30 civs?
Yes, of course you can . Open the scenario file (.bix extension) in the PTW editor, click on Scenario menu and select Player Properties... Scroll the list of the players to select your preferred country. Then simply click on OK and save the scenario (menu File -> Save). All you need to do now is to load the scenario, it may take some time, but it will work.
6. Why isn't my country featured in the scenario? Why I can't play country x?
In Civilization 3: Play The World there's a 31 civilizations limit.
We have decided to include only the 31 most populated and/or most strategically important countries in the world. The cities must be 300km apart - that's a limitation of the game itself and the map we are using (which is already huge).
Error messages
7. I downloaded the ZIP archives, but they are empty. What's wrong?
You are probably using Windows XP. In that case you need to download proper unzip utility such as WinZIP, WinRAR, WinACE or many others available for free.
8. When I load the scenario, I get the following message "Missing text:
text\PediaIcons\ANIMNAME_PRTO_Terrorist"...
You need to install this scenario properly (that is, the scenario and ALL expansion packs) and not modify any files. See question 1 for installation instructions.
