FloPinguin e554ffb1b0 Cleanup nations (Part 3) 🧹 Remove nation strength (#2649)
## Description:

This PR removes the nation strength. Reasoning:

- It is currently unused. The backstory can be found in #2498
- It forces map-makers to do balancing work, which is probably not a
good idea
- It increases map-making work
- It increases nation balancing complexity by a lot (we need to have all
the json files in mind)
- It makes humans avoid map areas completely because there is always
that one, same, strong nation
- The map lead Nikola123 wants to "not deal with the stupid nations and
their balancing"

If the goal of nation strength was to make them feel different I would
suggest a nation personality system. Nations that love to boat, love to
ally, love to nuke, love to fullsend, etc.

Some of the water features are adjusted for playability. NYC doesn't
have a ton of elevation differences, so marshland is replicated w/
highland noise. This is roughly placed to match
[Pre-WWI](https://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/newyorkcity-usgs-1915),
but allows maintaining the modern silhouette of the area. This 1901 map
is also the main inspiration for composition and projection. For the
Nations, British and Dutch Colonies along with Native Peoples make this
a bit of an amalgamation of the 17th - 20th centuries

Other elevation differences come from [Topographic
Map](https://en-gb.topographic-map.com/map-6sm14/New-York/?center=40.63067%2C-73.89158&zoom=11)
