What I like most is that your Switzerlake actually has substantial lakes on its periphery - it's like you brought Lake Geneva and Lake Constance with you and scaled them up along with the rest of the country.

Habsburg on the throne of Spain, France and Russia. Aiming on forcing those PUs soon. Wallachia and Teutons are my marches. Aim to own the whole European contintent by the time im done.

That Switzerlake is great.

Bonus points, Orissa, Taungu and Oirat seemed to do pretty well in their patch of the world.

Excuse me, but it appears that your flag is ill. Did you consider seeing a doctor?
No seriously, is that Germany's vanilla revolutionary flag?

It's Bavaria's revolutionary flag.
I assume the game chose that one since I started as Bavaria, even though I had formed Germany almost a hundred years before the revolution even fired.
Ethiopia Run. Switched to Sunni and went for exploration. Only took a few provinces in South Africa though before the Portugese landed there. Ottomans destroyed themselves so I had to fight a big mameluke and Byzantine empire. I wasn't involved in europe so everything that happend there is the AI's doing.

Formed countries inherit the revolutionary flag of the country that formed them. Which is a shame, because quite a lot of formable countries have special rev. flags set up. And fun fact: If going Revolutionary as brandenburg-formed Germany, you'll fly the Imperial German flag.

Ahh, good to know. I guess those nations without specific revolutionary flags will get the formable's specified flag then?
Heathen would be better.

Wierdest game ever!
Buchara and Wu are my vasalls
My Trooplimit: 600k
France: 400k
Bohemia: 200k
Commonwealth: 400k
1. France got PU over Portugal and Sweden
2. Russia was formed by Nowgorod (thats because Commonwealth got so strong because i wasn't able to contest them alone)
3. around 1530 England became emperor dispite Austria still being huge and followed by a long Spanish emperor for around 100 years.
4. Alliance between France Bohemia and Commonwealth

I don't get why they didn't go with "Die Osmanen" in the translation.
Orissa - Hindustan Ironman Run (Vanilla EU4, no DLCs and no mods)
This is my first time playing Indian nation, so I don't aim for the Orissa's achievement just yet, but maybe next time (I think that one is quite hard, needing to own all wood provinces).
Started out friendless (except a march) and all the bigger guys (Bengal / Bahmanis / Vijaynagar) hated me from the start. Bengal and Bahmanis allied each other, but Vijaynagar then declared war on Bahmanis, so I decided to intervene by declaring war on Bahmanis, which also dragged Bengal in as well (can't declare war on Bengal as they also allied with Jaunpur and Delhi) and took a province from them, while also taking the rich Bengal Delta province from Bengal in a separate peace deal.
After that war things became easier, and I could easily fight the second war with Bengal and took Dhaka and Chittagong - the Bengal trade node's CoT and then cut Vijay down. So this is the resulting empire in 1623. In this map, you can clearly see that Mewar, Malwa, Gondwana, Bengal, Assam, and Arakan are my vassals, thanks to full Diplo!
Because this is vanilla, I don't really need to take Exploration as eventually Goa will have a Portuguese core, so I could westernize off that. By that time, Orissa was already pretty big, so westernization was slow and painful....
Fun time! I got lots of free stability events, so it's time to form Hindustan when I got to stab 3 without spending admin points
And then the Europeans showed their action: Castile declared a crusade against me, bringging their pal Portugal in as well. So I thought, OK, I could size some Castile provinces in Borneo and a Portugal province they got earlier in India. The war wasn't going very well as even I occupied some of their provinces in Asia, I don't have a navy to fend them off. Luckily, Aragon (by that time was a huge chunk on Iberia) could ally me so I offered them an alliance and they accepted. They even accepted my call to arms against Castile, so they (and Baguette and a separate war) seized all the Iberian peninsula, and Castile had no choice but to sue for peace with me.
Timurid was also the biggest empire in the Muslim world (even bigger than Kebab), so I decided to cut them down and take a CoT at Hormuz. They have about as many soldiers as me, but they had stronger allies like Syria (who was also pretty big) who could field a stack of around 40 compare to the small army from my vassals. However, my army was superior in tech and in the end they prevail!
The Hindustani Empire at the greatest extent
Religion mapmode. I wish I had more missionaries to convert the annexed Shan, Ayutthaya, Afghanistan, Timurids, and Dai Viet lands
I could easily make 374 ducats per month thanks to the control of the trade nodes from Malacca to Hormuz, even hiring all level 3 advisors didn't hurt my income at all. The trade income was INSANE!!
I was able to dominate 9 different resources!!! Only me and Portugal were able to dominate the resource trades in the game (Portugal dominates 5)
Map of Europe and Middle East. Kebab was seriously ganked and nerfed this game, with the Commonwealth stayed big and was even the first in score. Talking about my ally Aragon, they
dragged me into a war with Castile and they lost, forcing Castile to make Aragon cancel the alliance with me.
The scores
Ironman proof
Overall it was a fun game. The house rule is try to make a clean looking border, but I could have done better. I love to play dominating the trade so this was satisfying. Looking forward to play more games. Normally I play Asian nations and really never played Europe (except a non-ironman Bavaria - Germany game a bit earlier), as I felt Europe is less challenging than Asia. I would like to do Byzantium next, and hopefully I won't be crushed by the Kebabs early haha.

At first I thought Scotland had taken Ireland - it seemed strange the name didn't stretch across. Nope! Spain! I bet the Irish didn't expect that...That Switzerlake is great.
