Most of the parameters in the nation files are pretty self-explanatory, but I failed to make sense of some things. Where are the competing nations of a nation start defined? Where are the historical and game budgets defined? Help is appreciated!

Game budget is defined by BaseResources, historical budget by HBR - these set the base resources listed in the Almanac at game start, which, in combination with resources from your colonial possessions, give you your budget B as:
B = C * F * (Rb + d * Rc)
where C is a budget modifier (stored for each state individually in the save file; look for BudgetModifier lines), F is the fleet size factor (one tenth of the FleetSize listed in the save file; Small = 0.2, Medium = 0.3, Large = 0.5, Very Large = 0.7), Rb is the state's base (domestic) resources as listed in the Almanac (listed for each state individually in the save file; look for BaseResources lines), d is a discount factor that the manual implies exists for colonial resources but has always seemed to be about 1 whenever I've done a spot-check, and Rc is the state's colonial resources ("From Possessions" as listed in the Almanac; roughly 25 times the total point value of all the colonies held).
Opponents are defined in the [NationName]WarInfo files.
