No worries, even after reset, the SOI can rise in number if the nation invests on said colonial area. I saw it happening with both Kuriles and Ryukyu for the little time I had them.

Indeed, and given that Lindi explained it, please don't let me be misunderstood. I was simply suggesting something to keep in mind, not a policy or anything else. Of course annexations in most cases should be out of the question for most nations and conflicts in this era. Remember that in game terms a complete and irrevocable annexation is the
AbsorbFaction command which inherits ALL assets of the absorbed nation (excluding its relations and past deals). This is limited to a few scripted cases, afaik. We should almost never address this ourselves unless we decide collectively to abstract something.
As I see it (I can be wrong), Egypt should indeed be able to hold up against a major power even under occupation, I just wanted to stress that perhaps after some time we might need to step in and discuss how to find a solution cause the game keeps these two nations in war which is cool and well, but after a while the aggressor might be forced to white peace because the lesser power does not negotiate, when the AI would have vied for peace long ago.
Now, this might actually be even good as (1) the occupier gains all industrial capacity from the occupied as long as he occupies so the rent is paid and (2) it abstracts nicely wars of occupation like the Soviets in Afghanistan or the Americans in Vietnam where eventually the majors powers had to depart not because they lost in the fields of the battle, but because their respective nations felt it went for too long. This in our game is abstracted by the low NM of a nation in war when a war has stalled.
Am I wrong?
