Whatever the case may be, I believe that a discussion has to be held on this topic.
Excessive land is, in my eyes and the eyes of others, a game exploit and to increase the cap further without discussion when so many people oppose it even being as high as it is would be a mistake.
Indeed, I would like to continue advocating that it is dropped down to a more reasonable 100,000 units; the earning potential of nations at 500,000 is just too ridiculously high when you compare it to the nations that are at the far end of their battle range (alternatively, removing the +-250 nation war range and removing the cap would be, in my opinion, a reasonable measure)
