Directly diminishing returns, or a need to provide sizable garrisons to 
prevent your conquests from revolting (which gives essentially the same 
effect in a more indirect way), or something else entirely - as long as 
there is *something*..Exactly how you implement it depends entirely on
how 
detailed you want to make your campaign's economic rules; the concept
you 
describe looks even more complex than the old Imperial StarFire, which
were 
a fun read but a *pain* to use in actual games :-(
