Introduction To A Spanish AAR
Setup
Victoria Revolutions: All Hot Fixes
Difficulty: Very Hard / Furious
Rules
All moves and actions must be realistic and possible in reality. The list of restrictions include but are not limited to :
A. Across The Great Divide
No absurd naval invasions. D-day was the largest naval invasion ever and took an extreme amount of coordination, planning and effort, and not to mention the complete naval and air supremacy. All of that was simply to cross the English channel. So invading Washing D.C via wooden ships is completely out of the question. Colonial landings if reasonable of course will be acceptable.
B. Asian Playground Rule:
Limited manipulation of China and Asia.
C. The AI Is A Person Too !
No manipulation of AI. (e.g. tech trading for British India )
D. Load Rule :
NO RELOADING to get better outcomes. If my nation gets screwed, I’m sure it will only serve to make things more interesting to the reader.
E. WWI Rule :
I am allowed to start a global conflict if necessary anywhere from 1905 – 1936.
F. Bad Boy Rule:
It must stay under 40. You are building an empire not an evil war machine. You must be viewed with awe and admiration around the world, not fear and resentment.
Economic Reporting
The key economic statistics of the great powers of the world will be reported on a yearly basis. GDP, population, and GDP per capita will be reported every January 4th. The report will include limited analysis of the GDP trends and explanations for major outliers.
There are several economic indicators in Victoria, but the two primary ones are a nation’s industrial score and its exports. Industrial score steadily rises as more factories are produced, your literacy rate rises and general progress through the industrial revolution. Unlike true GDP however, it is not cyclical, it does not (generally) rise and fall throughout the years, it nearly always is making a slow and steady march upwards. Also unlike GDP it has only a very indirect impact on your nation's finances and budget.
A nation’s exports is cyclical due in part to the fact that fluctuations in prices for national production impacts output. It also has a very direct impact on the budgetary concerns of your nation. Of the two measures, it is certainly a better indicator for the gross domestic product.

Research cannot be extremely uneven. It is massively ahistorical to ignore fields of research, and therefore I will attempt to keep all research fields within 4 advancements.

Problems and Solutions to GDP Reporting
The primary problem with exports is that in can be woefully inaccurate. For example if a nation had just promoted pops before the reporting date the indicator will vastly under report the average total export of a nation. Another factor that could impair the accuracy of reporting would involve scenarios like a nation completing an occupation of new territory in which the export figure could jump dramatically.
In order to get the best possible estimate for exports there will be lowered activity just before the reporting date. In addition the published export figure will be an average of the 3 days prior to the reporting date. Any exceptions or outlays will be noted and explained.

Reporting GDP Per Capita
GDP per capita will also be reported. It will be a relatively arbitrary number, but it will give a general sense of the export growth that cannot be attributed to population growth. Since no one will want to see figures such as .000075 for a national economic indicator, the figure will be multiplied by 1000000 to give numbers such as 75.34.
Summary
This won't be a story driven history with characters and a plot. As you have probably already guessed it will be a cold history of facts, numbers and news. Heavy use will be made of pictures in order to better paint the landscape of a world that may turn out very differently than our own.
