Spain used to be one of the most powerful nations on earth. Spanish vessels sailed the globe. Spanish explorers founded the new world. Spanish conquistadors defeated the Aztec empire, and colonized South America. The old Spanish empire used to rule places such as the Netherlands, southern Italy, the Philippines, and huge portions of south and north America.
However, that all changed. Starting with the defeat of the Spanish armada at the hands of the British, later with invasion by Napoleon's armies, and continuing with nationalist uprisings in the new world, culminating to the final embarrassing defeat in 1898 at the hands of the United States in the Spanish-American war. Since then, Spain had become nothing more than a minor power.
In 1936, the extreme leftist republican government had begun to stamp down on Spain's age old values, and groups such as communists, anarchists, and others were fighting for power. The Spanish military, and much of the population had had enough of this, and in July of 1936, a coup was attempted. Unfortunately, the coup did not succeed, and large amounts of Spain were still in the hands of the Republican government.
Francisco Franco, an army officer, and veteran of colonial wars in Morocco, took the lead of this group, now known as the Spanish nationalists, and pledged to crush the Republicans and Return Spain to its former glory. Spain will soon once again be a world power, one that the world will never forget!

I will probably mod Nat Spain's tech teams to make them better. I mostly have level 2 and 3 tech teams, and that just wont do. I will also add cores for almost the entire former Spanish empire, and possibly even reinstate the republican military leaders and tech teams a few years after the SCW. It wont be much, but it should help.
Cheats:
I will play with nofog on, since I find the fog of war to be annoying, and I like to view the comparison charts at my leisure.
Goals:
Immediate: Crush the republican Spanish government.
Medium term:Build powerful land, sea, and air forces
Long term: Rebuild the Spanish empire, including recolonization of south and central America, and defeating the United States, as revenge for the defeat in 1898.
