Major change heading for the RP: 

To allow for army expansion, but to limit it at the same time, these following rules are in effect: 

1 food source, either imported or exported = 10,000 soldiers and 60 ships

Home regions, without food sources, can field 5,000 soldiers and 30 ships. Having a food source + home region does not stack, and will only boost you up to 10,000 soldiers and 60 ships. 

You must acquire the food source before venturing beyond your current cap. No one walking around with 11,000 soldiers with only 1 food supply, for example. 

Nation abilities are still a WIP, but you can see what's in the making by looking at the first OOC post.
