Mmm I think so, but to honest I don't know it (I play the USA at Paradox, so money isn't much of an issue -_-)

Perth might have different plans, but the way we've done it is - You don't have to keep ordering for that +1 industry, that's just saying it will arrive in 3 turns, same for the ships construction etc.

The only limits we have on ships and army sizes is your bank balance. If you're economy can support more and you want more, go for it. I'd say specify large or small for the boats.

I'm not too sure on the 1/5 for the infrastructure myself.

Yes, you can specify for army or naval tech increase - Building more Military bases or developing new tech will achieve this.

You built infrastructure, industry, and 2 large ships last turn, so yeah, that probably cost about 340 gold.

To be fairly honest Japan did not have properly an army at this time, but a feudal system in which that large amount of Samurais were conscripted in times of war and gathered under banners. It would be like calling 200k knights for a crusade, in terms of organization and logistics.

But as said, they could arrive in waves and use the trains to move to more populated areas able to absorb their impact in the economy, and sustain them.

They'll either have to go north (and therefore not actually being useful in the war) or march across a lot of desert to reach Texas, with at best dirt tracks to go along. Sounds like fun!

People of Mexico! Our nation stands united! The Conservative elements have agreed to a peace, and finally the war within our nation has come to an end. Now we can begin a new era of development and progress, bringing Mexico and Central America newfound prosperity.

I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Kingdom of Italy in their successful and peaceful acquisition of their natural capital.

You never know. Only time will tell. History can be changed, times can be different.

The lack of infrastructure to support 200,000 however can't be changed so easily

Excellent update. I just noticed that my number of regulars has halved, I guess that happened when you rejigged the stats? Good thing I ordered more troops.

That seems like a LOT more than just four orders. In fact, you're not giving four orders. You're giving a complete set of orders to four different groups. Not what I expected at all.

Some players like to give very detailed orders, others just write "Create infrastructure in region x".

The Republic of Mexico looks forward to an era peace after the trauma of the Reform War. I hope to lead Central America into a bright new future, one of greater prosperity.

To our American neighbours, I hope you can resolve you own civil war peacefully so as to save your lands the terrors of such a war that we Mexicans have already suffered.

President of Mexico, Benito Juárez

Evening Chaps. As Fry said, I'll take the reigns of Mexico if nobody minds.
