In my campaign, all newly added nations have greater than 300,000,000,000,000 funds and a 2^31 crew deficit (integer overflow?). All "major" (ger, eng, usa, etc.) nations have normal amounts of funds and crew.
It's a 1890 Japan campaign on legendary difficulty. I used TaF 3.9.0 in the beginning and updated the .dll, when the new version which fixed gun refits came along.
