Because the idea of controlling a country is kinda stupid.
When you read a lot of history, you notice that most national behavior serves not the state but individual rulers and often conflicts with their predecessors.
Like how do you simulate Elizabeth of Russia spending 20 years plotting the destruction of Prussia and being only weeks away from accomplishing it, when she dies and is replaced by Peter III, a Germanboo, who switches sides for no strategic reason.
Or how Matthias Corvinus spent 30 years building the Black Legion, only for his successor to dispand it, because "we can't afford it".
