(read it with a scottish accent. Sounds more epic that way.)
The Muslim Wars have begun!
Ever since the Rise of Islam in the 7th Century the Christian nations were always on the defensive, except for a few half-baked attempts to invade the Holyland by the corrupt Papacy in Rome that in the end accomplished nothing but the deaths of thousands of men(and in one horrendous attempt, even children) and the enslavement of countless more. In the end the only lasting victories were the ones that were fought in Christian lands, such as Spain and Sicily.
The leaders of the Roman Republic(re-founded in 1458) have challenged this and decided to invade the Holyland in force. The Mamluks, complacent with the view that with all the failed Crusades of the past, thought the Christians wouldn't dare try another one, were caught with their pants down. The Romans had occupied nearly all of the Holyland before there was any resistance. The Catholics, not wanting to be outdone by the Orthodox Romans, declared a crusade. England, Portugal, and Castille joined in and invaded Egypt, keeping Mamlukian resistance in the Holyland to a minimum. The Mamluks also had to contend with rebellions in their Adalian, Persian, and (newly acquired)Yemanis provinces, with some smattering of Pretender and Peasant rebels. The Mamluks are currently limited to lower Egypt, Nubia, and Yeman(whose provinces are in revolt). The Mamlukian Government is losing credibility by the day with stability at an all time low(+0) and the people, tired of the war, are beyond the breaking point(15.57/15 WE), while the Roman people are more than capable of enduring the war they would like to see an end to hostilities sooner rather than later(7.86/20). Looking at the map, you can see current Roman offensives into upper Egypt(in red) and Mamlukian moves to suppress Persian Freedom Fighters.
By the way, what are the requirements for the collapse of a nation? I know it has something to do with WE. Do I have to fully occupy them?

I think he means Pommerania-Stettin, who is in Warmia.
Not sure how it happened but some time ago the Teutons were having some rebel problems and they couldn't get to certain provinces (due to Poland kicking their asses in a war and taking some provinces) and this happened: http://i.imgur.com/4NUan.jpg
Also, Brandenburg is really strong now. I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up forming Germany if I continued this game long enough. (Which I do, I intend to annex then form Poland, though I will have to make the decisions) They own all the HRE minors in every war and just keep slowly expanding, and they aren't near any major powers to stop them. (Aside from myself, but I am Brandenburg's ally)
Also something cool: Due to my doing, Poland is now ruled by the Piast dynasty once again!![]()

Theres also the matter of a venice that takes random landprovinces, an austria which apparently has no PU's, a Morroco that conquered rather than PU'd the Berber States, an OE that apparently let go of Egypt, Arabia and Persia.... The list goes on and on.
@both of the above: I didn't realize there was only way to play the game. Last I checked, people can do whatever the hell they want in EU3.
