Marcoh once speculated that they were building a giant transmutation circle around the country to create a philosopher's stone. Envy told him that albeit on the right track, he was wrong. So the country-wide transmutation circle is definitely for something other than creating a stone.
So yeah, what else could it be for?
The answer might be in chapter 96, where Father told Hohenheim that what he desires is to become a perfect being. The five sacrifices might be what he needs to accomplish that.
But yeah, it's definitely one of the biggest questions in the FMA story, and hopefully we'll finally know what it's all about next chapter.
Another question/doubt I've always had in mind when it comes to FMA was what is the true nature of Amestris' alchemy?
Scar's brother said "There's something strange about this country's alchemy.
Ling also said "There's something strange about this country."
Envy told Ed and Al when they couldn't use alchemy "Really, when it comes to these lower life forms... As soon as they obtain great power, they become delighted and over-eager. They continue using it without even knowing what it is!"
And then Marcoh explained in chapter 67 how alchemy worked, that it was based on the fluctuations of the Earth's crust, but then May said "Rather than the fluctuations of the Earth's crust, this power that flows under our feet... It feels like a great number of people are squirming around."
I mean all of that sounds pretty mysterious and ominous, no?
Could it simply be that Father himself is the source of Amestris' alchemy? >_> That certainly would explain why he can turn it on and off at his whim, lol.
