Almost Vanilla 1.07 GC, Netherlands can form if any of the Dutch minors "Collects them All!" That is the only change.
Difficulty/Aggression: Hard/Normal
This is my first AAR. I'm also a relatively new player, but I have a decent grasp on the game. I have no idea If I'll be able to accomplish what I set out to do or not, but it should be interesting. If somethings don't make sense in my AAR, I blame my non-existant proofreading.

Chadsworth III comes from a long line of English political advisors. His assistant Jones, comes from a long line of political advisor assistants. Chadsworth and Jones are the power behind the throne. Unfortunately, whether it was because of poor breeding or bad nutrition, the political advice isn't as sound as it used to be. Sometimes, however, sheer brilliance shines through...
January 1st 1419, London 4PM, offically known around court as Scones time.
Chadsworth - "Jones?! What the devil is this?"
Jones - "It's Tea, sir. Just arrived in London from someplace called Namching."
Chadsworth - "It's absolutely delicious when combined with the scones. You simply must try it."
Jones takes a sip. An astonished look appears on his face. "I do believe this is the greatest Scones time we've ever had."
Chadsworth - "I concur. Tea and Scones, who would have believed it? We simply must acquire more of this delicious drink."
Jones - "Apparently sir, merchants have been unable to bring much more tea back from Namching. A perilous journey to be sure. I can ask around, but I believe the palace recieved the box of Tea as a gift. And the remainder was quickly sold."
Chadsworth - "No, that simply won't do. For too long have I thought something was missing during Scones time. Now I have found my other half. Scones and Tea, Tea and Scones."
Jones - "I agree, but neither you nor I can magic more Tea out of thin air."
Chadsowrth - "When we Two parted
In silence and tears,
Half Broken-hearted,
To Sever for years,
Pale grew thy cheek and cold,
Colder thy kiss;
Truly that hour foretold
Sorrow to this..."
Jones - "That simply won't do sir, you can't go around quoting Lord Byron."
Chadsworth - "And why not?"
Jones - "For one, he won't be born for another 369 years..."
Chadsworth - "If he hasn't been born yet, how come I just quoted him?"
Jones - "Interesting conundrum, that is."
Chadsworth - "And another thing, how is it you know when he's going to be born and that I was quoting him?"
Jones - "All good questions, sir."
A page comes running in. "Sirs! There is rioting in the streets! People have heard tell of 'Tea' and everyone is demanding equal and fair share in all Teas! It's insane! It's egalitarian! It's Hyperbole!"
Chadsworth - "Oh good heavens, I see a time of great trouble in front of us. And I for one will lead us towards the light."
Jones - "Towards the light, sir?"
Chadsworth - "Tea is our salvation, confer with me while we draw up the plans, we have some business to be about..."

The Goals by 1819.
1. Own all 7 tea producing provinces in the world.
2. Establish a land corridor from Calais to namching. A Tea Route if you will.
3. Fortify the hell out of that route.
4. Fortification is especially important because Protestantism is not tolerated everywhere, but in my territories, it's the only religion that is acceptable.
5. Owning Massachusetts before 1773 is a must. Losing it after that, meh.
6. If it isn't North America, or directly useful in securing both Sea and land routes for Tea to move back to England, then I won't be colonizing it.
7. Once the land route is secured I can make the land route bigger by taking adjoining land.
8. No Bad boy wars.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jones - "That's a marvelous plan sir. We should get started right away."
Chadsworth - "Indeed, have that king fellow get started on it as soon as possible."
