Care to explain why the Netherlands over Belgium?
The Reason I like the Netherlands over Belgium is that the Netherlands starts off with a network of good colonies in the East Indies which gives it a good position for resources, especially late game do to rubber + oil. What's more is that they start with cores in Belgium and if you ally with Prussia, which can be done day one and you attack Belgium day 2 you can swiftly annex it. Once annexed Netherlands+Belgium has a good assortment of resources and a decent population so that with some maneuvering you can colonize much of Africa + it's in a great position to be opportunistic in Europe and snatching provinces from Germany+France.
Maybe I should take this to another thread but, In my games as the Netherlands, I still dont understand why you would not go after China rather than Africa. China has some valuable resources and lots of pops. I feel like its the quickest way to get a stronger military.
They're not exclusive, Africa is infamy free, if you have some colonial points why shouldn't one grab some of it ? Plus it has a lot of rubber.
