Byzantium! Screw Western Europe when I win the war for independence from the Turks I am taking my rightful place as Emperor of the East come hell or highwater:D

PS For those of you who have no clue what that means, Greece wanted to take the name Byzantium, but Western Europe thought it was a little to threatening and forced them to accept the name Greece. They felt Greece was a much more 'happy' name because Byzantium implied EMPIRE:eek:

Tibet, of course.

Really no need to think about it.

The peaceful self-defence force of the Buddha Reborn will enlighten the world while the peaceful Tibetan navy rules the seas.

:p

Or just maybe France to start with. Might be easier....

But...it's called Eλλαδα (Ellada) in Greek?

You're a litle late though. By 1835, Greek independence was already quite secured...

True, but it was a nice idea at least. Well, then, maybe I will be France and give Napoleon III bigger balls in foreign policy :D Should be real fun until the Balance of Power screws me, and I end up on some remote island ::evil grin:: Besides if I can do it I will make the revolution just as violent and anti-everyone else as the first one, and what could be better than that?

Texas.... Not only will I not join the Union, but when the civil war breaks out I just may see if I can nab some territory from the confederacy... Either way I believe it is Texas' manifest destiny that Texas stretch from the Missisippi to the Pacific and from the Gulf of Mexico to the Rocky Mountains. :D

Of course...

Spain, at first, (a "must-be" for Spaniards players, I think. We'll kick Cervera and put an admiral who know his work. )

Then... maybe the Two-Sicilies Kingdom, or something like that... I never liked Garibaldi anyway... :D

I think Spain and Turkey will be countries for any player looking for a challenge. They have not quite fell into complete decay yet, but they are on their way. Should be really nice to see if you can reverse the trends of these two countries during this period.

Think it well, I believe that Spain is more an impossible mission than a challenge. Nationalism, civil wars (The three Carlista´s Wars), underdevelopment with respect to other nations of Europe, conial revolts, The War of Cuba with USA, etc...
In conclusion, If you want a lot of fun, yo should take Spain!!...:D

Best idea is to work on trying to develop the homeland, and stop revolts when you can. All Spain really needed was a little while to rest and reconsolidate. After that she can try to move back into some of her more worth while colonies. Maybe it would be a good idea to side with the Confederates when they come allong because every one knows if you let the the United States build up they will kick the living crape out of you. Also hopefully the game will not be so pre-determined that I will get all those revolts if I can bring some real stability and prosperity the Empire. I allways hated getting bankruptcies when I was making 500$ a month, and had less than 10 inflation.
