[deprecated] Stop being so interested! [1.5.11]

In theory Paradox' system is not bad: The bigger and stronger a country is the more interests it can have.
And the longer the game goes the more countries have lots of interests everywhere which increases chance for global conflict.

---

So what's the issue with it?
- Countries start with too many interests already. This reduces the intended progression mentioned above.
- Naval Power Projection gives way too many interests, UK has over 90 (!) after not even half the game, that's double the amount of regions. Yes, UK should be strong, but that's just an example how absurdly the vanilla scaling is. (even France and Russia have over 50 at that point in play time)

---

And the solution?
This mod tweaks different values to reduce that problem.
In short:

• Reduced interest gain from rank.
  
• Reduced interest gain from Naval Power Projection.
  
• Added interest gain via some techs to counter balance some of the interest reduction for later in the game.
