The other thing that I have seen is Turkey/Spain go @ -1 $ when they are in the Neutral Area of the points chart. What happens is at manipulation you slide down a box than in Political status Adjustment you slide right (left) back up. The lower VP states can float in the Neutral Zone gaining 7/8 VPs with no problem.
The other Area that gets tricky is the Max 15 box. Since Manipulation comes before adjustment, if you are in the 15 box the + adjustment is wasted. If I remember right, in the Max 15 VP point box you slide down -3, in the next lower box 14 you slide down -2, so if you see it coming you manip @ -1 to the 14 box and have the same slide. Then in New combinations or via alliances you try to get the +3 back to the 15 box (create the King of Bavaria +1 and the Confed of the Rhine +2). Eventually during a long peace the trick is to get to the highest point -2 box so you can slide back up +2 in the Manip phase.
