Economy is in trouble, but military? Rheinland was not defeated or crushed in war with Liberty. It was ended because neither side could won without risking to lose another front (Liberty had Gallia knocking on them, Rheinland Hessians and Corsairs troubles). When the war was ended, it actually allowed Rheinland to strengthen forces in it´s territory because they could left the borders with Liberty. So why the fleet would be at all time low?

Because these decisions are made solely from gameplay point of view, not roleplay one. To create good activity hotspot, both sides are kept in Omega-11. And Dresden advance was given to Hessians because it was supposed to be warzone which was supposed to replace the Liberty border and give RM players good massive battles again. Unfortunately it never worked. Same applies even to why Hessians can have any caps. It was not because someone (devs) sat down and said "look, inRP Hessians have resources to have caps now, lets give them some". Only reason why it happened was to balance it with RM and Sairs and to help make Hessians more appealing for players.
