Martian, the idea would not work, because
A) The larger a country is, the more $$ a single turn can generate. For example, large 50k acre cashers could value a single turn at $20 million dollars, since they could cash $30 mil dollars (example numbers I made up)
Side Effect: Depending on what is done with the purchased turns, the 50k country's income could spiral up with turns that are cheap enough, and the spiral up prices may be more than what the increase in price of a turn is for this single large country - eventually the price of a turn would be so costly that only this single country can buy turns, and have a run-away country.
B) A fresh restart in a war would then sell 1 turn for $20 million dollars, buy up 150k troops per turn sold.
Side Effect: This has the complete effect of accelerated country growth for restarts and severely unbalance wars - it will cause wars to favour the side with larger number of members (even more than it currently is), since they have more turns to sell - essentially a form of external FA.
