What the mod does

  • Adds a custom gigalopolis state category with 50 building slots (vanilla megalopolis has 12)
  • All 25 Canadian states set to gigalopolis with 10M manpower and 500 of every resource
  • Per-building caps raised to 50 (factories, dockyards, etc.)
  • Canada gets cores on all 48 US and 13 Mexican states — full manpower, no resistance when conquered
  • Vanilla buildings preserved — normal 1936 layout with 50 open slots to build into
  • "Elbows Up" national spirit: +3 political power/day, +10% stability
  • Global MAX_SHARED_SLOTS raised from 25 to 50
