I take this that I'm not allowed having units inside a nation's territory
I'm in peace with. Am I right?

But in alliance *and* in war times I *am* allowed. So, this is clearly a
break.

Here are my counter suggestions. 3 possibilities:

- *allow* peaceful units in my territory but limit them, by numbers or
  strength. Physically block the border crossing for units exceeding the
  limit.

  Reality aspect: In peace, the presence of troops is subject of
  negotiations.

- Don't allow attacking for n=4 turns after cancelling an alliance. Disband
  any units still on my territory after (n-1) turns.

  This has a reality aspect, since allied troops in my cities are not easy
  able to attack there comrades at the same place/city/barracks, from command
  structure and from social contacts.

- Strong reputation loss for a nation going from allinace to war in a short
  time.

  Reality aspect obvious.

Can be combined.

What does bouncing mean here?
