That's a glorious Theodoro indeed, here's hoping mine will look like that in 60 years, I'm guessing it won't though.
However, since you're the commonwealth, I have to ask; did you help make this happen?

That Poland.
That Lithuania.
That Gazikumukh.
That Astrakhan.
That Circassia.
That KIEV.

Theodoro is one of the less interesting things in that picture.

I disagree. Poland has some bits of land here and there, but it's normal if they got a PU over Lithuania. Lithuania just took land from Crimea and GH. Gazkumukh is like, completely normal? I don't see anything strange with it. Astrakhan exists, because GH got wrecked. Circassia just took a bit of land from Crimea. And Kiev? Poland might have lost a war and was forced to release them.

Theodoro is still the most interesting thing here ^^

What's strange? Umm, maybe that an Aztec president is named Beaumont? Just a thought.
He clearly said that he saw the strong claim as the strange thing, not the name.

But he wasn't the one who posted the screenshot.

I don't see anything strange with it. Astrakhan exists, because GH got wrecked. Circassia just took a bit of land from Crimea. And Kiev? Poland might have lost a war and was forced to release them.

Theodoro is still the most interesting thing here ^^

Terek (Gazikumukh's northernmost province) starts off as GH land. And I've never seen Poland expand east of Lithuania when the latter is in a PU. It's just a bunch of things I've never seen before, even in this thread, whereas I've seen large Theodoros in these screenshots before.

Having said that, by the time the second screenshot was taken, Theodoro has become the second most interesting thing on the screen, after Moldavia - which seemingly took some land off of a strong Ottomans.

Moldavia simply made claims and Poland, lacking anything better to take, gave it to them in wars they won. Nothing particularly strange.

The President, and all the candidates, are Portuguese.

All of my generals and a lot of my advisors are also Portuguese.
The game recognized your achievement in conquering half of Iberia and gave you superior european master race rulers, advisors, generals and whatnot. Be happy.

...Japanese as accepted culture?

What kind of strategy did you use with Aztec exactly? Surely Sunset Invasion via the Land of the Rising Sun isn't the normal method. Not that it makes it any worse for it, you understand.

I didn't take Religious, but I did take expansion, so I conquered a bit of Asia with overseas expansion while waiting for Imperialism – unjustified demands are too punishing otherwise. Hardly going for a WC, so getting Sunset Invasion provinces from DIP 22 to end of game suits me just fine.
