What is the lowest you can go with dominion?

I don't consider 5 low at all. 3 is low - you can expect to do a lot of fighting in enemy dominion unless you preach a lot. 5 is mediocre. 7 is strong - good for supercombatant pretenders, extreme temperature nations and some special dominion effects (like Miasma), but many nations will get better returns from a moderate dominion strength with better scales or magic (& bless effects). 10 is insanely strong unless you are Ashen Empire/Soul Gates/Carrion Woods - you will almost certainly do better putting those points in other things.

Also, I don't know how it works with Mictlan, but it may be that their god's dominion strength has almost no effect (since their prophet and temples don't radiate like other nations). If they depend on sacrifices for all their dominion, then it doesn't matter what their dominion strength is unless the effectiveness of sacrifice is linked to the god's dominion strength.
