Civ4VoteSourceInfos
The Civ4VoteSourceInfos file defines the different sources diplomatic votes can come from. The functionality exists only in BtS; for Vanilla and Warlords, votes can only come from the UN.
All tags must be opened and closed; the first is the "open", the second the "close" tag. If nothing goes inside a "list tag", then it should just be the opening tag with a "/" before the closing bracket. The following tables contain all available tags, as well as their purpose and accepted values.

Lists (Multi-line)
All List tags consist of an opening/closing tag, which is shown here, and then each entry within it is another tag with the same name as the parent tag, minus the "s" (i.e. singular, rather than plural).
