Also, since it takes 2-3 hours for everyone to update, the timer would be innacurate, or hellish to program.

Hmm, 85,000+ nations and 10,000+ regions. It takes some time to work through them all. Though I actually think that we've managed to decrease the run time to just around an hour though.

This is a large game.
