'Henry' 'Smith' 'Stalin' etc.

[Javolenus]

Hi There,

I got an ambarrassinlgy basic modding question:

What all this 'Smith' 'Henry' 'Stalin' 'Napoleon' stuff about? I'm presuming they signify levels of some kind, but how do they work and what is the hierarchy?

Apologies for the noobie question, but any explanation would be really appreciated. Many thanks!
