I can use Trade Dispute, but I can't justify a trade war on them. They don't have enough trade power. But yeah, that's what I might do now (maybe after Majapahit finishes beating them around).
edit: Ended up no-CBing them. Mission success - they're now my vassal and I've acquired Sulu province.

My latest Serbia game. Maybe not as impressive as it could be, but that's because I don't care about world domination, I'd rather watch how things go everywhere else and stay friendly with allies. Picked Serbia as I thought they would make for a difficult start.
Bohemia is a vassal, Lithuania is a lesser partner in a Personal Union. Poland, Byzantium and Georgia were my faithful allies for almost the entirety of the run, and Byzantium is also the overlord of France in a Personal Union. (!!!)
I basically ended the Ottomans and fed Byzantium at the start. I got a Union with Lithuania, had to fight most of the HRE for it. I later vassalized Bohemia, the Emperor, which dismantled the HRE. I'm also the one to have broken Russia and brought them to bankrupcy (that light blue nation conquering Russia? Why, that's Ethiopia... ). I also broke Scandinavia apart, Sweden, Norway and Finland were all parts of it, Denmark formed it very early.
If the game went on, I'd be conquering Italy from Ferrara.

1-2 provinces from Poland and your empire would look quite nice, but I understand you ... backstabbing an ally is not an option .
.
I'd have even given them 1 or 2 provinces, but they refused to claim/siege them, and Ruthenian stopped being accepted in Poland, so they wouldn't buy them. I agree that border could use some work.
Bit more creative then my names, my Australian Colonial nation was named 'Here be Dragons' and my Alaskan Colony was named 'St George and Nevis'
I think we will never be able to do worse than this guy I once saw on this thread, who formed a colonial nation while playing Mali. He called it "TimbukTWO".
Sometimes, I remember this joke when I play, and it makes me wince so hard my face hurts.
On a similar but much less impressive theme to the proto-Stalin's-USSR, here's the current state of my Novgorod campaign.
It's very much a work-in-progress, but I'm well on the way to forming Russia, and the Muscovites (I've forced them to release Yaroslavl and Pskov as independents, and I've just full-annexed Perm) have been decisively smashed. I'm too weak as of yet to take on Lithuania (who are my allies anyway), but I'll be able to form Russia without fighting them. My plan is to have Westernised by about 1500 (hopefully), or 1520 at the absolute latest, even though it is possible to remain competitive as Eastern tech without westernisation.
I've also converted everything except Perm's provinces to Russian culture so as to make Westernisation easier, and I plan on taking Diplomatic, Defensive, Offensive, Religious, Exploration and potentially one or two of the more trade-oriented idea groups (although not in that order).
