Add a Feeding sub-rule to Population:
Whenever the Hegemonist increases the Stocks of Commodities of a Country due to posting a Market Position, e shall reduce the Stock of Food (according to that Country race) of said Country by one tenth (rounded up to the next integer. Ex.: 1.01 becomes 2) of the combined Population of all Terirtories that Country controls.
If the Hegemonist is unable to reduce a Country’s Stock of Food, because that Country lacks enough food to allow that, the Hegemonist shall {Make a Post} with subject “Starving Warning: Country X #NNN”, where “X” is the name of the Country lacking food and “NNN” is a sequential number starting at 001 for each Country. The #NNN starving counter for a Country shall be reset to 001 every time the Hegemonist is able to reduce that Country’s Stock of Food in the manner of this rule.
Whenever the Hegemonist posts a “Starving Warning: Country X #NNN” with a #NNN greater than 002, the Hegemonist shall reduce the population of all Territories controlled by that Country by one tenth (rounded up to the next integer. Ex.: 1.01 becomes 2).

This requires a lot of food. Most players won’t be able to support any territory that’s not underpopulated already.
