Max mod nation description length?

JK has a habit of limiting things at the value 999 (ex.: spell slots, damage), so it may very well be that input strings are limited by that amount.

As I said, I looked at the parser, but maybe the input from mods is indeed limited artificially by a greater amount than what the ingame limits are, yes.

It's not a bug, you just found out the real limit. There will always be a limit, anyway.
