Manpower for large countries.

Im not sure if I understand what you are trying to say fully... But you can increase manpower by building barracks and/or conquering provinces.

Ok most of Russia's Manpower came from Central USSR during the war, Central USSR is not fighting the Japanese or protecting the Japanese front. So where are the men at? Same for Midwest USA millions of men not counted.

For example you could raise manpower in the areas of the map on the board edge to reflect this uncounted manpower.

or you could dump manpower into the pool every once in a while.

OP is asking why the historical populations of larger nations aren't able to be reflected in game.

I say balance is worth more than verisimilitude.

Ok balance is very important, But Germany gets all its men, Ok Britain loses India and Austrailia but a lot of UK troops where deployed in India and in British navy off map. So The British may work out but over Half USA and USSR manpower is offmap. What about raising manpower in Perm to at least that of Moscow to reflect offmap manpower. And pick a board edge area for USA to reflect the Midwest. Germany needs to have a big force to start. But Russia and USA should run out of men after germany not the same time. And If play balance is all that matters Ok fine but it is not WW2 It is WW2 the way the Germans thought it was going to be. Remember old adolf only got as far as flanders in ww1 never saw USSR never saw USA.

what do you think about creating a new scenario of nowadays political europe map but as if it was set on WWII?

I think it would be fun but too close to home for a lot of people.
