I present to you, Venice
1444 Start, Not Ironman, As I'm brining this into V2 and Took about a solid hour fixing the borders in America to their current level.
France and I had a falling out for most of the game, Mostly France Greedily wanting my Indian Colonies. Austria used the time to Inherit Bohemia and Form the HRE. Now France is best friends with me again, Scared for their own life as the HRE is the most powerful nation in the world right now.
I'm number 2, 1st in Score but probably second in overall power. the HRE beats me out in force limit just barely. I'm completely unchallenged at sea and income however.
The PLC is number 3, And Is a dirty Traitor. Best friends against the Ottomans, and then once we ran out of heathens too kill they took a preemptive strike against Russia, then decided It'd be a good time to Leave me for Austria. Whom they are still allied with Along with Romania. An unholy alliance if ever there was one. Something interesting to note is they are a Democracy which means maybe in V2 they'll leave Austria again.
Number 4 is France, Typical France. Though I should note They are actually in the midst of having a bit of a fall. They decided to take on Austria alone and lost Alsace Loraine, had to spit out Bar and lost most of their colonies as a result. They did crush the Netherlands in their infancy and turned Holland Into a refugee nation however. They Also invaded Castille and stopped them from forming Spain for an extra 200 years until I intervened. Which may seem like a stupid Idea, but a 3 province Minor Aragon was getting annoying to look at. They also never took Brittany, who went on to become a Colonial power. Louisiana has a Breton majority and the Bretons look like prime candidates to finish off Australia come V2.
Number 5 is the British. Who are the revolutionaries this time around. They made the mistake of sailing into the Mediterranean when at war with me. Worst Mistake they ever made, France Invaded them freed the Scottish and then their Colonial Empire collapsed. They arent dead however and remain a midrange naval Power and i've given thier cores on the scottish back so they have a chance to reunify britain come V2.
Number 6 is Ming, Since its Eu4 they are still every weak, But they are Western, and have the second biggest military in the world. Since I have thier cores, I'm not exactly happy about thier westerization. They also have a fledgling colonial empire in Indonesia and have kicked quite a few of the minors out of the Pacific.
Spain and Romania are the Tailend powers. Spain completely lost its colonial Empire, and Romania is on the Rise thanks to Puing Hungary. Then winning against the PLC to get Moldavia, and then a timely province sale of Northern Bulgaria. Norway deserves a Mention for getting free from Denmark, then turning around and becoming best friends with the Danes, Up until the Austrians kicked them out of Europe. I gave Norway the 2 remaining danish provinces in Greenland along with thier capital in Sjaelland I felt it wasfitting since now Norway has a shot at forming Scandinavia in V2.
Also, The Knights are still Alive, They were kicked out of Rhodes by Greek Patriots but then popped up in Malta and I've protected them Ever Since.
I also saved the Pope from the Austrians, Not that hes grateful mind you. He still hates me, The guy who pushed back the Turks, Rescued Jerusalem and Rechristianized Egypt. I'm even Catholic :/
Closeups of Europe, and the Americas. Asia and Indonesia Ommitted because I'm sparing you from the terrible borders there.
Added the Cores for Italy back in at the End as well So that way they'll be formable in V2. As a sort of Goal to force me to kick France and Austria out of Italia. Wondering if I should though or just expand my Empire in the Orient. Most of the World is Western now so it wont be Infamy Free.
