Some ledger stats might be nice since I really have no idea how big a 50k army is compared to, say, England, France and Russia. The same with the economy. You've really had good luck with monarch stats though!

That heir is godlike! I predict a reign of 14 months
You really think I will get that long?
Top Tens of the (IMO) most important charts. Russia is at war nomads and are usually around the 70-80000. Same goes for France who is at war with the majority of the HRE.

I'm really surprised you're so wealthy without even having conquered many provinces, I assume a lot of that is trade income? Either way your army is looking pretty top tier; though your manpower pool is tiny compared to the other great powers, I'm assuming you have a big edge in terms of discipline and morale. Interesting to see 3 different Indian states in the top 10 armies, I'm kind of curious to see what's going on over there. Same with Ming and Qing both being strong.
Why does Ming always have such a massive army? It's always been in the top three for much of my EU3 games, yet even as a highly aggressive Ming player I never need more than 80,000 men (and that's pushing it)
Well seeing as ming is essentially China they have massive manpower and being the AI they mint a lot. They also often fight with the remnants of the mongol empire and that triggers the AI´s need to recruit.
Now that I think about it, I think it's more that the AI isn't aggressive enough to drastically weaken the mongol states early (or at any point) and thus ends up having to fight them for years rather than just getting it out of the way early.
But I also think that the AI drastically overstates the threats to your realm vis a vis your economic situation. Any time that I tag switch to change something in any of my games (usually something that's annoying me, like enclaves or 2 countries sharing Greenland), if I screw up I always return to a country that's suddenly recruiting 20,000 new soldiers.
Yeah, don't ever let the AI control your country, even for a day.

Well, this sucks.
On the 18th of January at 15:34 Swedish Time my hard drive comitted mechanical suicide. Despite my best efforts it was mostly unsalvegable. As of writing this I have a new hard drive thanks to the monetary contributions of some really helpful friends, I must however sadly declare this AAR dead and buried. While I had hoped to go out with a bit more flare what I've done so far will have too do.
On behalf of my perished hard drive I would like to apologise to anyone who was looking forward to the continuation of this AAR and to instead look forward to my next one.
Have a good day.

Oh no! I was really enjoying this one! I'm sure you're next AAR will be just as good though
