This campaign has moved on to EU4, click here to view the new thread!

Hello and welcome to the Unstoppable Force Paradox!
The UFP poses the following question; what happens when the most violent culture (the Norse) meets the most pacifistic religion (Jainism or Buddhism)?

The campaign is designed to both challenge myself and to explore the new Rajas of India mechanics in a fun and unusual way. To do this I've set up the following guidelines:

1. Pick a one province Norse count.
2. Find a way to convert to Buddhism/Jainism.
3. Create a stable realm for myself, preferably in Scandinavia or Scotland.
4. Have the realm thrive until the year 1444 while most likely being constantly assailed from all sides.
5. Convert to EU4.
6. Establish a colonial state in Eastern America.
7. Grant the state its freedom and play as it.
8. Form the USA and manifest destiny.
9. ???
10. Profit.

I hope this silly idea might interest some of you, as it's incredibly fun for me to play!
