Aug 15, 2012 at 21:01 comment added KConrad Your question is written in the wrong order. You don't want to first introduce the ring and its ideals, and only then bring in the numbers $n_i$, but rather first introduce a sequence of positive integers $n_1, n_2,\dots$ and then ask if there is a $D$ with its ideals enumerable as $I_1, I_2,\dots$ such that $D/I_i$ has size $n_i$ for all $i$.
Aug 15, 2012 at 20:58 comment added user16974 What about characteristic $p>0$? The tuple $(n_1,n_2,\ldots)$ is given.
Aug 15, 2012 at 20:51 comment added Alexander Gruber Couldn't $D=\mathbb{Z}$, $I_k=k\mathbb{Z}$ for all $k>1$, and the tuple simply be $\mathbb{N}$? Or am I misunderstanding your notation?
