this isn't only a concern for curses, though. this same thing applies to blessings, which i actually consider to be more detrimental than the curses. with the ability to effect a single nation with a certain concept, you gain the ability to radically alter their culture. whether you use it in a vaguely negative way, or a generally positive way is ultimately irrelevant. you could bless /meat/ with high nurturing capability, rewarding them for having a higher k selected strategy than an r selected strategy, and the result would be a decrease in fertility by trying to take advantage of the blessing. carrot or stick, you are changing the way people respond to their environments, thus changing their culture, this is your intended effect with /meat/, as you yourself said you want us to rely more on hags. this is assuming you can isolate the nation from it's concept. giving out blessings and curses wantonly is a terrible idea, if you bless a group of people with perfect production, fertility, and resourcefulness on the verge of creating a hedonist's paradise, you might just end up dooming the entire nation to a total collapse like in the mouse utopia experiment.
lastly, the idea that a single person could sustain the suffering of an entire nation is a bit foolish. it takes /meat/ a handful of transubstantiations and incredibly precise timing and preparation to accomplish our deicide rituals, and that involves a single being that exists solely in the heavenly realm, where magic is far more prevalent and impactful. you would have to have hundreds of people who were made to strongly represent a given nation suffer in some way that you intend to cause the nation to suffer. also, the magic won't just happen out of nowhere. you can have a magical effect that applies to a single person be applied to a group of people if the single person was a transubstantiation of the group, but you can't have the act of applying the magical effect onto the group apply the magic effect to the person causing it because there would be no reason for that to happen. it gets even more confusing by trying to have the person suffer opposite effects, or solely negative effects that are not inherently tied to the concept they are working with.
a condensed version of the effect that is taken way out of proportion makes sense, for instance, blessing a group with an enhanced focus by transubstantiating the group and someone racked with such oppressive, overwhelming anxiety and obsessively paranoid schizophrenia that they are practically losing their mind with ocd makes sense. the effect is made more moderate due to the weakening effect between the transubstantiation and the ones being effected, but it's ultimately the exact same effect, therefore it is synonymous with the result. alternatively, granting fertility to a group of people by causing someone to go through a crippling instance of forced/accelerated evolution/mutation also makes sense. the effect has to be synonymous with the magic it creates. the way you express the concept, especially in regards to "magic rocks" makes it seem like you don't quite know enough about our system to make it functional.
for a /hag/ writer, you seem to be as innocent as a preschooler who stumbled upon a loaded gun, or in this instance, a weapon of mass destruction. it would be incredibly cute if it weren't so incredibly concerning. i'll admit that i am a bit biased. ignoring the fact that you arbitrarily said the curse on /meat/ was permanent, clearly trying to make the effect of your curse less inconsequential given how easily we could otherwise counter the effects, you put it on us over a misunderstanding that happened from a purely meta perspective. in lore, this would be seen as being entirely unprovoked. you also apparently have about as much knowledge about how /meat/ as a culture operates as you do with chuubanite as a system. i suggested you look it up before you try to solidify it as lore, but you are going ahead and making lore off of it, solidifying it as canon, and for some reason that i cannot fathom, nobody else is saying anything about it at all.
with that said, i am fine with you having an unprovoked bias against /meat/ that stems from a misunderstanding, what i am not fine with is you being able to bless and curse other nations so easily in a way that doesn't make sense with our magic system. if it was just /meat/, and if you went through a lot more to actually achieve that effect, and if it worked according to the magic system, that would still be concerning as a wmd, but being able to bless 3 other nations with different blessings at the same time as permanently cursing us, operating with the same geographical star-shaped glyph (which would be meaningless from the perspective of the heavenly realm since there isn't even an inherent connection between that symbol and a star, let alone anything else involving the occult) is incredibly overpowered.
