8. Absolutely
Prussia continues to project power and using staging port on Madagascar the Fetishists residing there ae quickly defeated and Madagascar is now half owned by Prussia.
Unfortunately Emperor Emil dies and Monarch McMonarchFace is crowned emperor. However next heir is about to be disinherited...
2 loans are taken in order to embrace global trade institution as we're about to tech and this removes the 22% tech penalty. In the end, inflation is just a number and there's abundance of money in the game, on the other hand, there's always never enough monarch power.
Casual landgrab of land from Russia which is then fed to Perm.
Power projection continues. Indonesian islands of Borneo, Java and Sumatra are not under protection of Ming so they're now our new targets.
Morocco is forced to cede another bunch of land, mainly in Iberia.
Cape is worth 1.35 ducats every month, due to being a trade company province, which makes trade companies even more owerpovered than before.
Trade companies now give 0% minimal autonomy, however the provinces are not treated as state provinces when it comes to prosperity. There's also 100% penalty to tax and manpower, but this penalty is additive, not multiplicative so in most cases it's still worth building manpower and tax buildings there.
Africa is slowly becoming Prussian.
Genoa is attacked with help of Hungary.
In the end Genoa is forced to cede a lot of their rich Italian land. Taking more would provoke a coalition.
Out of the great hugbox of France, Denmark and Ottomans, France is the only country having external alliance which leads to indirect attack on France via Savoy. Goal of this war is to break the triple alliance of doom.
A lot of countries in Europe hate France and are providing us free troops to use against France.
While the war in Europe won't be a quick one due to level of French fortifications Sakalawa is fully annexed so there's always something to core.
Routed French stack is wiped in Navarra.
French land is suffering from devastation a lot as they're nearly fully occupied and Frenchmen are desperately trying to get out of the war. Our peace deal which broke the triple alliance was forced shortly after.
Oh no, a disaster.
I don't really understand the numbers at the peace deal screen. Russia have lost 0 troops on battle while we have lost 27k? I smell something fishy here.
Prussian Indonesia is now a thing.
Majapahit is next to be added to Prussian Indonesia.
Unfortunately our administrative efficiency is not high enough to fully annex Majapahit in one war.
As our troops ale already present in Indonesia, Siak is also visited.
Even a mission is completed.
The Court and country disaster lasts at least 10 years and after that if stability is positive and there are no rebel stacks and/or rebel occupied provinces it ends and depending on level of absolutism you gain a maximum absolutism modifier. This one is for ending the disaster with 65+ absolutism so our maximal absolutism is now 119 (it could be 120 with full religious unity).
The best part about spawning institution are the free monarch points.
War against Denmark which is still allied with Ottomans was declared to break last remnants of hugbox.
There's one downside of playing without forts - enemy stacks wandering everywhere, but there's a one upside of this - the saved money which can allow you to field even more troops.
Ottoman discipline can match ours ... but they're lacking morale and combat ability so they're sent packing.
A lone Ottoman siege stack without escort was found.
And WIPED

This is why Ottoman discipline is so high - 10% from level 3 discipline advisor event. Judging by other sources of their discipline it seems that Janissary bonuses are gone.
GET OUT

I said GET OUT
