It was not only the STeem issue.
While  creating 2010 version of Russian TOS, we also found that with changed
'nationality  byte'  some  demos  were  not playing and also were some
other issues, while with '19' all worked OK.

That  was main reason that I tried to keep '19' for Russia everywhere,
it started from real Atari TOS.

And  it  was  more  reasonable to keep this settings, then follow some
strange assignment (which content for ex. Saudi Arabia country code -
this country never had activity in Atari-world).
