There may be some, hard to say what as I'd have to check what is really possible. Probably easiest to add would be some inceased pop or gold making site next to capitol. But it should rather be granted to people that have 2+ free points or are left with some bad nation choices [but that shouldn't happen]. I'd prefer [as I'm lazy

] that everyone just makes 9-10 point teams and there is no need for any bonuses. Ratings are not 100% accurate anyway, you could easily argue that said nation should be +1 or -1.
