Castille got all that on their own?
You're looking like a very big, very scary France.
Just kidding (although blue is a nice colour)
France owning everyone all the time is indeed disturbing.
I was playing a game as France, and cheated to fire the storming of the Bastille event in the 1780s to spice things up a bit. This was the result:
One important thing you can't really tell from these screenshots is that Savoy and Portugal have fled to the colonies. Savoy's capital is in Timbuktu, and Portugal's is in Connecticut.
I have about 20 tech levels on EVERYONE (and 30 on Russia!) somehow (reminds me of my first AAR), so I've been pwning. This one in particular is impressive:
Yep, outnumbered 5 to 1 and completely crushing the enemy. Napoleon, eat your heart out. Well, this doesn't help:
141% Discipline. I've had it higher, but not much. In this game, it really helped that I was able to trigger L'etat c'est moi really early (like early 1500s early), so I've had a major advantage all game. The naturally 100% tradition is nice too.
My NIs are pretty nice too:
And I converted to Protestantism just to make things extra interesting:
Finally, I have de facto wiped out the HRE (all the territory is still there, but there aren't any electors or members):
So, overall quite a fun game. I've got around 25 years left, and with my very favorable NI and manpower situation, I think I can pretty much conquer Europe. I'm certainly going to try.

Yeah, they did. As I said, I could have done better to stop them, but it was my first real attempt at colonizing ever. I started too far to the north and was not aware of the extent of the permanent terra incognita.
That and also that I've been holding GB's balls in my hound's maws for a while now.
Brandenburg is Orthodox. Danzig is Sunni. Poland is split between Sunni, Orthodox and Reformed... France & Spain is Protestant... Wow, you messed up the religion.
Most of that isn't actually my fault. The Ottomans conquered ridiculous amounts of Eastern Europe (plus the Netherlands and a few other areas) long before I got there, which I just kicked them out of. Brandenburg got inherited by Russia after I invaded them, and their missionary just got really lucky (it doesn't have a fort). I have to admit I force Castille to become Protestant, though.
First I grabbed the Oriats and most of Chatgai, but ming never attacked me.
Later in the game I got in a Personal Union with Dai Viet and was really scared, after I broke the union with them, Korea got a Personal Union with Ming but it dissolved.
While I was in the Union with Dai Viet I got Ming relations at +200 after it dissolved I got Royal Marrige and they offered alliance. Now they are hostile and have a Reclaim Mission but my army is larger.
Poland has the largest army in the world.

I didn't include a world photo because I haven't discovered it yet and I don't want to spoil my game by seeing who got where I'm still not westernized because I spent 100+ years in moving sliders and now I'm waiting for more than 60 or 70 to get a adm.6 ruler.
But I did manage to convert all provinces to sunni except the newly acquired 2-3 in france and Rome.

The greatest part is that the Pope moved to the 2PM Munster, taking its place. Unfortunately for him they were my vassal and now he is as well
and now he is as well 
so many people playing France
Well, Prawnstar plays them, then it must be ok?
