I know I based Espenova off the Poland-Lithuanian Commonwealth, but I keep looking at it wondering why they would ever be scared of Xargon at all, lol. I feel like I made it a bit too big, so maybe I need to fracture a nation or three into smaller ones.

Well, size don't really matter. Amount o troops, wealth to actually pay troops, armament, that kind. Just like Germany almost beat the Soviets in WWII. Don't worry 'bout sizes
