I still want surrender to mean something other than "My nation ceases to exist." Plenty of wars end in a surrender with both nations continuing to exist but one sacrificing something to the victor. The Gulf War for example, the Six-Days War for another. Russia surrendered to Germany and "only" lost Belorus and the Ukraine. A total surrender should be a rare event, but wars should end on a regular basis.
