(I know Victoria 2 tries to not be completely historically simulated, but there should be an event lessening the infamy impact of taking Spanish colonial locals as America. Perhaps half infamy, or something.)
nope. I've done the math. 26.50 infamy gained. Only about 1 year where anyone would have reason to f*** with us, and nobody's going to take that chance.
((Or we could use free-peoples on the Phillipines rather than annexation as it's less infamy))
((They were officially an Independent nation after we stomped the Spanish))
((1876, though BBB already took a bit of Teddy for his character))
Welcome to politics Mr Leo. I hope you look into the Federalist Party, as your views on foreign policy and clean government would fit in perfectly with ourselves.
((Actually ,in real life, they remained a U.S. Colony untill 1946( with autonomy)))
((Probably the reason we got so little infamy was because of some Casus Bellii that allows us to take spanish colonial possesions ( e.g. Place in The Sun)))
((We havn't taken them over yet, we are just trying to figure out a way to take them for less infamy. And guys, wouldn't demanding the Phillipines, Cuba, and Puerto Rico mean we would have to invade mainland Spain? Due to Vic2 amazing WS system.))
What is the Difference between you federals and your radical Liberterrian forbearers? More specifically what is your Economic policy?
((also remember I am runing from NY state))
((BBB would you mind giving us a historical war where we have claims for all those territories?))
((Mexican-American War (Manifest Destiny). A casus-belli of some sort like that would probably what the US would use here.))
