Peru has both coal and iron, can become a democracy relatively easily, and isn't riddled with other nations' cores. It just doesn't seem to get the credit it deserves. Is there a drawback I've not seen?

Play Brazil, day 1, move all troops to border with Peru, train if possible, declare war, take provinces, profit

Nothing that starts with SP or GP status counts as a nation, it counts as easy mode.

China must not be easy mode then even though it has 400 available troops and 500 in reserve that could crush any GP.
Makes sense.

I don't think you've ever played as Qing, given how any civilized power can basically curb-stomp it because of how terrible their units are.

I only have the basic version so China is just a giant glob to me, the substates aren't there.
I don't have HoD.

You really need to get the expansions. The game is basically unplayable without them or mods.

Why? I do fine without the expansions and just mod the game files to suit my needs.

Because it fixes a lot of the issues the game had, such as colonization, naval battles, assimilation, China, railroads, uncivilized nations, the economy, war justification, and adds new things like Great Wars, foreign investments, International Crises, and some other stuff. Plus without the expansions you can't play any of the mods like Divergences of Darkness.

I never install mods.
I lost trust in such things after my Minecraft phase.
What are the 'Great Wars' exactly? Glorified wars?
First off, what? Mods are one of the number one reasons to even play Paradox games. I would never play a vanilla Paradox game without mods installed because of just how much the games are improved by them.
Great Wars happen after a certain date when war breaks out between two sides with 2 great powers or more per side. Great Wars allow things like dismantling of empires, which forces Great Powers to release most nations that are releasable, and allows the winners to take of the colonies of the losers.

I cannot imagine playing this game without the expansions. Why?

Some people get some sort of pleasure out of pain.

I have never played with any major mods, don't like a number of the design decisions they make.
I never play with mods either. But I can't understand not wanting to play with the official PDS expansions.
I never said I wouldn't get HoD or the other expansions, I just said I don't have it at the moment.
Dismantling empires is not base game is it isnt it a mod with PDM ore submod GWM
I think dismantling empires is a mod thing. But Great Wars are devastating to the losers even in vanilla V2 (is that what we call the version with all expansions but no mods? I see it used different ways). Great Wars are generally how I make my final push to the #1 spot on the charts with Hawaii or whoever I started out with.
