Looking for input on how best to recover from this situation

[PirateAE]

Playing as england, Just won teh 100 years war and got the PU with france; castele, argon and denmark(curretly getting its but chewed by luthania) are allies. ATM I do have a heir(IE no WoR expected) On the down side im 3k ducats(about 40/60 loans) in debit. With milatary completly elimanated, and navy striped to the bare bones (4/15/1/4) (all lights on protect) and maintance modifiers are all 0ed. im only gaining 2 if that ducats per month. rebels are still a issue im trying to lower my WE. Im begining to think bankrupcy is envitable. what would that do to me if it happened? any otehr options to recover from this?

Fire Advisors
Set navy maintaince full
Balance trade to your advance
Slowly repay debt and train an army

It's pretty hard to go bankrupt (and not the end of the world if you do, provided you've recovered your manpower, put down rebels, etc. by the time it happens).

Like Ak1995 said, the naval slider should always be at 100%.
Definitely lower your WE ASAP. Also boost your stability. Don't worry about the MP cost--view it as the cost of a PU whit France.
At +3 stability, and 0 WE, you should be doing just fine economically. It may take you 50 years to pay off all those loans, but hey, Paris is worth a Mass(ive debt) (rimshot).

Get rid of all your heavy ships, they are money sinks, and since you have all the powerful navies in PU, there is not much need for you to have one. Really try and push your trade income up at this point.

You can use your PUs to get you vassals, which will up your income. The other thing you can do is use your PUs for wars to peace out for money. The HRE is a mixed bag. Lots of small states means lots of money horders. The downside is that you have to fight the emperor. One solution is to have a small token force in which your PU can attach to. You can either use this to direct Frances army for some nice conquering or you can park it in Dauphnie for some simple defensive wins to draw up the WS and kill their manpower. This should net you 100s of ducats per war, enough to pay off a few loans each time.

disband your entire land and naval units other than light ships (for patroling trade). france (your PU junior) will kill all rebels for you. army maintenance to 0 and naval maintenance to max (for trade income). fire all advisors. reduce inflation with admin points if need be.

Good one Henry. *ba-dum-tsss*

Stability is definitely a good idea, also if you have regiments with lots of casualties you might want to just disband them so you don't have to pay for reinforcements.
