I don't really like the idea of needing so many team members alive to win. It's in the team's best interest to keep each player alive anyway due to forging paths and capabilities, making a requirement of having most of your team alive to win is unnecessary. Besides, if you can't win, what's the point in playing on? Sure you could frustrate the other teams, but overall it would just be depressing. And what if a team that's unable to win takes over the entire map? Or what if all teams lose enough players that no one can win?

Likewise, forcing a team to give up their nations if they lose a certain number of players seems wrong also. If you really want the teams to do that though, I suggest that a team goes AI if their vet leader is killed off. That would be slightly more palatable.
