One of our players recently suggested that there be a $1000 charge for
each sector that a country takes control of.  The initial $5000
treasury would be doubled or tripled to allow for inital expansion.
The idea behind this is to discourage large land grabs or the familiar
"fencing" in which a country surrounds enormous amounts of territory in
order to cut it off from other people.
