With the 50% LA floor going on, is it worth it to start as them atm? I've heard somewhere that's it's supposedly going to be changed sometime soon, which I am all for. For anyone that's played them already: is it doable to play as them and survive the europeans and come out okay?

Your potential is shredded compared to playing as a CN that is set free, but you can still perform well if you can get over the psychological hurdle that is knowing that PI trashed your nation's potential a bit for what amounts to no reason whatsoever.
Yeah, it's pretty difficult for me to get over that hurdle, haha.

Just think of America as being 50% base tax , but with the extra provinces it's more like 60% of what it was before.

It's somewhat doable, yes.

In all seriousness, it's very doable and not even very hard for any natives other than the isolated OPMs. If you could play it in pre-AOW, then you can play it now.
