Having multiple people controlling those nations seems bad at the same time seems bad. If any of you want to volunteer when it comes time, feel free to take control of the Belgium one.

I'll go ahead and spill the beans by saying that the Commonwealth is going to invade the one between it and Yllendthyr. I may as well just control that nation because they stand next to no chance, especially since the Commonwealth will attempt to solicit Yllendthyr into aiding with the invasion by attacking from the other side.

If you take issue with me controlling both sides of a war, I'd point out that this is less unbalanced than me simply getting the land for free like you proposed, and that the sudden annexation of yet another country is meant to be a plot device to potentially spark international outrage. It's been something like 15 or 20 years since the Commonwealth took more land, after all.
