I'm playing a gc game as Lithuania (loaded up as russia and made them a sattelite).Its 1880, Im the #7 great power in the world with 250$ per day coming in. I got my idependent nation staus from a white peace with russia during the crimean wars and a few years later when spain joined in on the fun, i managed to take latvia in a war with the russians. When the peace treaty expired, russia was getting steamrolled by the turks and the french so i DoWed them again and managed to get Estonia and north-east Poland. By then, 1870, my army consisted of 11 divisions and i sent 10 of them off to Prussia to fight the french in the Franco - Prussian war. I forgot that the french bordered my african colonies and they all fell within a year. It took the prussians 5 years to capture Paris. I got all my divisions back to lithuania and am now getting ready to make a mad dash into russia to try to get the rest of Poland and possibly a little of the Ukraine.
I'll add more if everyone wants me to.
