Well mister reformation you certainly wandered into strange place. No western powers owned this province and I am reformed. Yes I know I am above my tech limit, but I have nothing to spent it on. Venice republic OpieOP. Rolling in two star generals, ahead in tech in everything, unlimited dosh with only 22 provinces.
Reformed brothers unite. I am sure it's my reformed center doing.
Last screenshot I made in this Venetian Sea campaign before getting it. I could finish it 200 years earlier, but wanted that sweet mercantilism chievo. I didn't want to make Byzyblob that big, but provinces just kept flipping to them. It's not that strange screenshot, but the world is a bit messed up: Scandinavia into Russia(they suck, lost to commonwealth again and again until recently France helped Brandenburg show PLC who's boss in Europe), GB in Iberia(they tried to take on France and succeeded at first, but then of course France happened), that westernized Bukhara, Liege strong and one province Ming lasted for many, many years until annexed few years earlier.
