You probably got a lot of badboy-points from annexing all those countries. Badboy is a hidden value that determines how much other countries want to declare war on you. To avoid getting so much badboy-points you should always annex uncivilized nations in 2 steps, first take as much territory as you can except the capital and humiliate them, then in a second war take the capital. That way the annexation will only give you a total of 1 badboy point instead of 1 point per province if you annex directly.

1. Russia is your biggest enemy

2. Always watch out for those Russians

3. Remember to defend the mountain border against Russia at all costs

:D

For OE, you'll want to expand against the uncivs on your borders, but don't hurry! Unless they've gone bancrupt, someone else is picking on them or there's absulotely nothing else to do, you don't gain anything by attacking.

Watch Russia. If you get bored, then watch Russia. Did I mention that you should be watching Russia? :p

Otherwise, unite the Arabian Peninsula under your banners and if you can put up enough of a fight against the Russians, see if you can't take land from them in the Caucasus. Take enough, and you can create a buffer Georgia/Armenia. Or keep them to yourself.

Don't bother industrializing the non-national culture states in the Balkan, you've got many other states fit for industrialization!
