I wanted to share this...

This is my first game, and after 20 years of the start I came upon this:

North of Africa...

South of Africa

The only thing I see to be strange is that you have less of Africa than Britain did in real life. Also that you're #2 with the most powerful country at the start of the game. xD
 
yah i dont get it

besides the agressive ottoblobbing and the weird italian colony, whats so strange?
 
It seemed a mess to me, Spain, France, Italy, etc.

Pictures like yours are pretty common.

When your AI decides to make a good looking Africa / a historical Africa you may post again because that is really strange :p

Edit: Just saw it and since its your first game:
I recommend not going over the Infamy limit (25).
Once your above 25 the whole worlds gets a CB against you. Might not be the biggest problem in your case now but in my game AI France went over the limit and even Egypt (and arround 10 other countries) declared war on them.
 
i dont see why you felt the need to include so much of the western half of eurpe in a picture about austria

it look me a second to notice what you were talking about since the whole thing is shunted off into the edge corner

Sorry about that, but it shows fine on my browser. Will try and use lower resolution in future though.

BTW that AI Austria is still going strong, reached 1925, still a major GP and an absolute monarchy. It even sphered that pointless Germany.

A bit early aren't we?

And they're still climbing...

This was the first Major war.

So, how trounced were you in that war?

If I recall correctly, we actually won because the British trapped the French in the UK. The Russians meanwhile focused on North America.
 
not really
 
Wikipedia says that Jan Mayen is 377 km² in area, which would mean 13.2 hab/km², I'm not sure how you got your figure.

Would there be a way to encourage migration towards Jan Mayen using the games mechanics? We could test this out.

I just got it totally wrong there.

In HOD I think there is the "Polar Bear Purchase" decision which gives you a large population, but it's quite hard to fulfil the requirements.

IF Jan Mayen had the same population density as Macao it would only have 7,988,630 citizens. IG terms it would be 1,997,157 pops.
 
That shows the Russians going bankrupt, that is not an unusual thing.
