No. Your economy balances out at 0 because without borrowing money, you can't pay your government so that requires less money so you have a balanced budget.

Okay, that's exactly what I said. The question is: if he doesn't have enough money for all the government expenses, does that block him from buying goods for producing armies as well? It should, shouldn't it?

It should.
So try to make a 'balanced' budget?
You just stop funding stuff.

I haven't played this game enough to know how common this is, but apparently one of newly conquered Manchurian provinces had become the Dubai of the far east. I have no idea what has happened to this place, or why the "commoners" are only 1/3 of the population.

If I remember correctly aristocrats only live in the state-capital so that might be why one province in a large state has such a big proportion of them

I know why. The Californian Gold Rush succeeded in Manzhouli.

Is that a million man army?
Over 1.6 million, not that it makes it any less excessive.

@TheMadMoravian - What mod is that? That makes the soldiers like that?
austrianemporer is right, the specific one is "Victoria II: Interwar Spritepack"

Mountains and amphibious landing against 18,000 Russian troops= Iwo Jima
Their sacrifice will not be forgotten, all those Franco-Spanish troops were busy invading Gibraltar instead of attacking the Motherland.

The Capital is in Seattle

How did that happen?! I live in Seattle, and almost everybody here (including me) hates the CSA, and we consider them almost as bad as the Nazis.

EDIT: Did you ban slavery and then legalize it again? That's the only way I can think of that has the CSA getting those borders without the console or decades of war with the USA.
