Nice game. Did you play with a mod?
Nope, it was Vanilla. I did give Columbia some Anglo-Canadian pops to start with, otherwise your only culture is Native American and you'd be dependent on migration for any accepted culture pops. Allying with the US or Great Britain initially is essential. I found the US to be better allies, mainly because you can get them to fight off the UK for the Canadian territory while your one brigade slowly occupies territory.
What makes Columbia and Canada easy in this game is your population. It's nice and low, so assimilation seems to happen really quickly and literacy rockets up quick. It's very easy to be the world tech leader. Your problem, of course, is the same as your blessing. The low population means tax base, industrialising, and maintaining a military are really difficult. The first thirty years are very slow and you're constantly running the line near bankruptcy, then all of a sudden you're steamrolling.
Well, you should get the job finished then!My latest game:
The United Kingdom of Great Britain, Ireland and France, in the year 1871.
Allies: Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Bavaria, Portugal, Greece.
Sphere(in Europe): Spain, Switzerland, Portugal, Greece.
My idea was not a WC as UK, but rather a alternative history where the British Monarchy resumed the claim on the French Throne.
As for the rest of Europe I did have a hand in making Belgium the monster it is(In the sense that I called it into the war with France and accepted it's terms in the peace deal with France. But Belgium also helped me get a foothold in France in the first place), and also helped Italy get some provinces from Austria. Besides that the rest happened by it self.
My infamy is also less than 25, and have at moste been around 30.
Why haven't you taken your Irredentia cores?
France, UK, Austria, Russia, Spain, and the Ottomans have formed a super coalition against anything me and Germany try to do. Even then Germany has a nasty habit of not backing me up on wars, and doesnt even invite me to wars that it is losing.
Here is my Empire, Oranje
It's 1908 and I think I did pretty well, I took over Transvaal and Zulu early on and took the British regions bit by bit until they had no claim, which I think was about 6 years before I could colonize.
I took over Washington in America so I could take the uncolonized areas of Alaska and Canada, in which I freed Canada and freed British Colombia about 6 months back, I hope to use the Free People button against the UK a few times until Canada have their country back and then I'll probably take them over region by region, we'll see ^_^
I took over Palestine and freed Israel and I wanted to see if I could free Lebanon and Syria, sadly not and the Ottoman took back Northern Syria while I had the UK as my war leader, they did nothing and agreed to let the Ottoman have it ._.
Took over parts of Bavaria when Prussia was on the map, keep getting revolts there and CBF going to fix them, hope to conquest all of Bavaria and give it back so they can keep it, useless to me TBH.
I also keep getting attacked by the Germans, Russians, English and French in my containment and when I have the USA as my war leader, it usually goes ahead... for 4 years.

I'd kill for my games to have such nice African borders.
Some men just want to watch the world burn.
