Currently, soldiers are the only poor/middle strata that really do not have a cap that will prevent provinces from overfilling.
Farmers and Laborers have the RGO cap
Craftsmen and Clerks are capped by the # of factories in the state.
Bureaucrats and clergy have the promotion capped by % in the state.
Soldiers, on the other hand, don't have a cap, and when something causes massive unemployment in a province, you'll find yourself suddenly swarming in soldiers. I'll dig out a screenshot tonight, but I have a province in 1865 China that is 22% soliders, and can support 130+ brigades.
I can't imagine any place in history where a population was 20% professional soldiers...there should probably be a cap, similar to bureaucrats and clergy.
