New Rules
1. Officer Assignments:
Two separate officer lists.
One for China; one for Japan.
Lords who hold land in both countries must assign officers in both countries if they want to defend it.
i.e If a lord does not assign anyone to China and keeps everyone in Japan, the land in China is up for grabs and can be conquered without a battle.
This makes it so that a small lord, like in real life, cannot possibly defend two countries at once. As well as keeps people from magically appearing between the two in what seems like days.
2. General Cap
Kingdoms will be limited to the number of officers they can have with every Province. Starting off, the Capital will allow 5 officers. For every Province gained henceforth will be 1+ Cap increase.
3. Income Changes:
From now on, only the amount of land held by a kingdom determines the amount of gold they receive. This prevents kingdoms from abusing the rank system to gain mountains of gold.
200 - 300 = Arid Land
400 - 500 = Middle-Class, towns/farms/villages etc
600 = Captials and other important locations (temples, monuments, places of interest etc)

Usurping the Throne: Flat out killing the ruler and taking over the entire kingdom, troops, officers, everything. However, through the RPing process of the assassination, the ruler must be killed within the Capital one way or another in order for the Rebel to gain the entire kingdom.
Coup d'état: Creating your own kingdom within the boundaries of the kingdom you are rebelling against.
You may select any area that is not adjacent to the capital of the kingdom you rebel against.
You may rebel with any number of officers, however, you will only get more than one land if 5 or more officers rebel with you (one extra land, adjacent to your capital, per officer.)
If you there are no more adjacent lands adjacent to your chosen Capital, you must select the next closest land that is not the Capital of the force you are rebelling against or any of the adjacent lands of their Capital either.
