Unhappy Re: Max mod nation description length?

These limits are from the parser, per-nation. There might also be a global limit to the descriptions as well, I think I ran into that myself when preparing combined mods for my mod nation games.
Hrm...well, I replaced my text with a block of lorem ipsum, and it seems that #descr (for nations) is actually limited to only 999 characters. However, some of the vanilla nations (e.g. LA Caelum) clearly exceed this, so perhaps you found the size of the in-game buffer, and something else is trimming the input to a smaller length prior to display?

I've only got my one mod that I'm working on installed, so it's presumably not a global limit being exceeded.

Perhaps I should report this as a bug?
