-**Combination:** This would normally require 10C5 = 126 Factories, and the bonus would scale uncontrollably holding 6 or more, but could be accomplished with a single factory, "Members Required = 5" and "Overfill"+**Goal:** Holding any 5 of the the 10 North American Territories triggers a factory or bonus. \\

 +I don't believe the above solution can be achieved with the current system because of the scaling, but even if it could, it would require at least 250 Factories.

-Benefits and Features:+====Benefits and Features:====
  
  * Using the current system, because of overlap, Even if you did create the 126 or 5 million factories, the effects of the resulting bonus scale would make them untenable in the first place. \\  * Using the current system, because of overlap, Even if you did create the 126 or 5 million factories, the effects of the resulting bonus scale would make them untenable in the first place. \\
  * The feature does not have to be limited to factories. Any continent type could be eligible, including the standard in-hand bonus type.  * The feature does not have to be limited to factories. Any continent type could be eligible, including the standard in-hand bonus type.
