I absolutely love this idea.

My only concern is how new nations would be accounted for- would they parasite off of other nations when first created, or would they generate their own new values? If the latter, one could technically "game" the system by generating new nations, harvesting their resources via war, and then creating a new nation after the war is complete and the old nation is assimilated. If a nation's resources disappear completely after it is conquered (like the example of a trade deal being reversed from the original post), then there's really no point in conquering in the first place.
