Poked a USA game, some weird goings on.
Ungoverned territory has the best internal security forces, no rebellion ever succeeded against them, so no nations came back.
Many countries whom had their navies wrecked seemed to get stuck in a building and scrap loop. They have little to no ships, so they start building a lot of ships. I don't know if them completing new ships triggered some sort of income saving flag, as it seems as soon as they complete them something would make them scrap them, and lay down more. Spain with only part of Spain left, building 40 ships at a time is like this, but Germany, with less colonies, but half of France and half of Spain is also like this though. I will have to check if anyone with a navy is doing this.
Again more battles where the enemy runs straight away. It's all well and good saying I have cornered a fleet, but with no coastline on the battlemap, I haven't really cornered them have I?
