1852-1856:
To be honest, I played till 1860 a week or more ago, so I dont remember too much form that boring period, sadly. Becouse of this, I will break the usual style of chronological representation, and will go with a theme-based grouping.
Brazil researched some techs:
Started the end phase of the colonisation of Patagonia and the Amazonas Region:
And got a lot factories due to the nice state support event firing. I always accept each and every one, becouse it is simply cool to have factories.
Even if most of them are not really vital, and the luxury goods one is currently on hold due to me not importing expensive raw materials, these events have doubled teh number of factories I own. Kudos for them, OHGamer.
And, most importantly, I traded France for its last province in South America!
France: Gone!

I do trades at 85% chance, it's usually enough for them to agree... About 85% of the time I think! 
So now only Britain to coerse out of colonies, then you have the South American continent to conquer alone
I was afraid you had forgotten this.
Great that you're tying up loose ends before your inevitable rampage across south America.

Reply time!
First of, sorry for the irregularities, but the first week of university is always a killer, and on top of that, I am not feeling so well.
Right now, I am only going to reply to the comments concerning the part of 1848-1852, the current chapters reply block will be posted before the next chapter.
robou,likk9922: I dont give a hoot about my relation to Britain after I have bribed them off my continent. But as I rembemr, the relations drop was not so horrible at all.
The_Guiscard: I hope I will get more immigration, or else my plans are busted. I one of my tryout games, I had an immigration of well above 1K/day, that in the end gave me one state with about 60-70 factory slots filled, and about 100 manpower for waging war. But immigration is a fickle little creature, yes.
PrawnStar: Welcome aboard. Trust me, you will buy it soon. There is no escape from Vicky.

UK: Gone!
How about a magick trick? I'm gonna make the UK disappear (from South America, at least)!
First off, some transports are desired for such an enterprise. If anyone can guess their destination, than you have played the game at least once
While the wharfs are working, so are the brains:
Attrition reducing generals are good. We shall use him.
Tada! Most likely the most used game exploit in the whole game: declare war on Abu Dhabi, get land, trade useless land for stuff. I shall do so as well.
But Abu Dhabis lands will prove to be insufficient (I cant really balame good old Vic for not giving up good brazilian woods for useless sand-dunes. No spice there.), I have to grab the other two countries as well:
The war progresses nicely, as does technology, and colony claiming:
The new abarian holdings are immediately offered in return for the brazilian holdings of the UK. To my honest surprise, he UK accepts this deal:
But, they ask for a lot of money, some of which I trade back for even more useless, sandwormless land:
Tada! Its... gone!
With Ye Olde English Batons of BadyBoy War now gone, I am free to whack around. But first, Soyuz, erm, I meant, progress! (how many of you got that joke?)
Hmm, Bolivia and Peru are at war with Ecuador. Bad move,
punishable by DoW.
First, the objectives of this war. Spot them!
The opening moves:
and their conclusion:
Bolivia is now insta-annexable.
Rule of aquisition #36:War is good for business.
Peru will not be whacked yet, they have too many immigrant-friendly provinces, and this could shift the heartland of my empire form Brazil proper to Peru.
Lastly, I could exchange my tariff policies from protectionism to free trade. Fat chance, given my income comes in 80% form tariffs. Rejected, Vicky, old chum.
PS: the new layout and flash(??)-basedness of photobucket really, really s**ks
PS2: Are 800*xyz pictures still okay with the new forum layout?
It would make sense, with the French, British and... well not that the Dutch posed a threat... why not? It is unlikely he will get punished by BB wars unless he gets colonies in Africa adjacient to Britain or France, or if he is very unlucky with America. Other than that, why not?
Ahura: Well, whats the point of _not_ annexing it all?
Apologies for the delay, been to Switzerland and France (honestly, the ILL is much more exticing than the CERN :hugs neutrons; and got a bit sick in jumping around in the snow in a t-shirt.
Update this week somewhere.

I was going to protest the abandonment of Arra- ...bia, but then I realized Venezuela has oil too, and not nearly as many sand, and you plan to own it all anyway.
So I'm fine with that now.
