Sorry this isn't a challenge/sign up/holiday game as such but, I was wondering if I could ask for some help from those with holiday games ongoing. I have started trying to work out how world cup hosts are decided and realised to do this I need to run a fair number of holiday games. My brain then reminded me that there would already be a number of holiday games being run by people here, and so I thought I would ask for your help, so that we can work out how the AI chooses world cup hosts. As well as who hosts it, I'm wondering if it may be dependent on database features for example, if a certain league is running, then stadiums in that league may get improved and thus make them more likely to host a world cup. I've listed below the world cup hosts from 2010 - 2150 for a game I had running with the Malaysian league running and a large database:

South Africa, Brazil, Spain,
Argentina, England, Uruguay,
Portugal, South Africa, Spain,
Argentina, England, Brazil,
Portugal, South Africa, Spain,
USA, England, South Africa,
Germany, Mexico, Italy,
South Africa, France, Canada,
Spain, USA, England,
Canada, Portugal, Mexico,
Italy, South Africa, France
Mexico, Germany, USA

as you can see disappointing there are no Asian world cups, however, nick... has reported elsewhere that he had Uruguay hosting 2014 and China hosting 2018 so there is some variance in the system, I seem to recall in previous versions of the game when this was looked into, the nations were chosen from 3 possibilities for each year. Also both my Malaysian holiday games which were started from the same start point have had the same world cup hosts (although my 2nd one only goes until 2050) so it may be set at the start of a game which would point to a hard code set of options.
