Honestly, with how many puns and references are in the event text, I can't help but wonder if this was inspired by Kamen Rider Kabuto's protagonist somehow, or if there's some other work where the smug protagonist doesn't really explain anything and keeps talking about his grandmother.

So it looks like my run ends here. A wise man once said choose your battles wisely and this one I can neither win or recover from.
After I broke away from the British Empire without a good plan in place and the middle class lost their privileges this happened...

I would say the continued existence of the German and Italian Kleinstaaterei and the Ottomans sharing a border with Austria are more cursed. The map barely changed: Italy sort of unified, Prussia gained a few German minors but lost Posen, and it looks like the Ottomans recovered one state from Egypt. Otherwise, there is very little border change.

This is a valid outcome, I see no issue here

Fascist Venezuela completes the Egalitarian Society objective


(the road that led here was kinda weird)

Bonus: I forced the Austria-led German Empire to release Prussia earlier that year, resulting in this amusing DP to take it back:

As I mentioned elsewhere, I play Vic3 with the Every State Independent mod. Some AI states are strong enough to expand, some are decently healthy, some fall into civil war (possibly repeatedly), and a few, well...

I know that states sometimes have unusual cultures, but did my neighbors sign a secret agreement to do it en masse? (The Yankee states don't count, as they're all mine)

And no, I'll never finish the report on assimilations.
