So would you say that the armies would disappear if there was no food and the nation wasn't bankrupt, but was knocked out but still having gold?

My experience has been that it is food in the baggage train that is the
critical element. When a nation is eliminated all of its' armies without
food disband next turn. If, however, you have a case of a 100 man army with
one food at a friendly town the army will last indefinately. That is until
the pop center is influenced out from under it, or the commanders and
subcommanders are eliminated.
