Potential bug with regiments limit and max manpower

[DrakeDarkson 4]

I have identified a potential bug where several nations—regardless of their size—experience a drastic increase in regiment limits and maximum manpower shortly after the game starts. This occurs through “Bonuses” that do not appear proportional to the nations’ size, resources, missions, or events. This creates a significant imbalance, as even small nations rapidly gain excessive military power, even surpassing empires while holding only a single province. (For instance, Brixen—with just one province—is more powerful than France, England, and Castile combined in my save. Like what?! 🤣)

Example Observation:
 

It would be interesting to investigate the source of this bonus, as it could be affecting game balance.
