As this will be rather a precedent setting decision some other things that 
will be allowed if leaders can fight nations whom they are not at war with 
are things like renting out your generals.  Napoleon can go lead the 
Spanish or Turkish army if he wants for a while since all he would have to 
do is start out a turn in the same space as one of their corps and then 
move with them.  The leader movement does not require that the corps the 
leader moves with be one of his own.  We're declaring that leaders are not 
linked to their home nation and they can freely participate as mercenaries 
in wars without it having any implications for their home nation.

This seems very strange to me but if everyone wants to play it that way 
then I'm going to have to start negotiating the rental of some French officers.
