Since the Hostile Takeovers take 3 days to complete and the Territory remains occupied in the interim, if any other country attacks that location and lowers the occupying population to 1 or less then the Takeover cannot succeed. Thinking about this led me to discover another bug:-

Change step 1 in the Hostile Takeover rule to:-

Population Revolt - The native population of the occcupied Territory fights back, and the occupying Country loses DICEY population presence in that Territory, where Y is the occupying population amount in that Territory. If DICEY is equal to Y, the revolt has been successful, and none of the remaining steps occur.

If Proposal: Takeover Loophole has not passed, then also make the rule text correction that it proposed and all Hostile Takeovers that have occured before the date of this proposal’s enactment are annulled and do not continue their event steps.
