I just finished my first Ironman game as Muscovy->Russia. Note that this is still 1.13:
I'm the strongest power in the world, though the Ottos, Ming, Austria, and Great Britain are still very powerful. I'm the only Orthodox country in the world, but it is one of the biggest faiths in the world:
Britain got PUs over Spain and Portugal early on, so they dominated the colonization game. They owned the entire new world, apart from Brazil, East Canada, and the USA. But (with my help) many colonies managed to gain independence. Only Spanish Canada, California, Columbia and Australia are still under GB:
And I wasn't idle in the new world either. I managed to get my own colonial nation, though I'm sad it wasn't ruled by a Castro. I also dominate all Asian trade, funneling it to the Baltic Sea through Indus->Samarkand->Astrakhan->Kazan->Novgorod:
Ending screen:
I gained a ton of achievements in this run: A Decent Reserve, Master of India, Rising Sun, Silk Road, This Revolution Was Crushed, Mother Russia, At Every Continent, Market Control, In the Name of the Father, A Pile of Gold, Four for Trade, and others.
