Depends, if you're more into personal intrigues, dynasties, incest and murder -- then go play CK2.

If you rather want to commit genocide, have personal unions, play as a nation instead of a person -- then EU4.

I'd advise to go either CK2 and then EU4, or EU4 and then CK2. After that, if you like complexity, Victoria 2, Hearts of Iron, and then Hearts of Iron 3 with Black Ice mod on.

I swear there's no complexer game than HoI3 + BI Mod.

Playing as Mexico in Vicky 2.

It's rather... interesting. USA intervened in Texas, but they weren't prepared for my secret weapon: an alliance with UK.

So I annexed Texas and a white peace was made with America. I colonized Colorado and am in the process of colonizing Idaho.

Oh, and this is only my second time playing Vicky 2 btw. So I have almost no idea what I am doing.

For anyone wondering, I joined this website during my edgy teenage years. I made a lot of dumb, awkward posts, flip-flopped between various extreme ideologies, and just generally embarrassed myself. I denounce a sizable amount of my past posts. I am no longer active on NationStates and this nation/account is no longer used.

Because Britain is a pansy-ass bastard that hates the USA having nice things.

At least, that's how they are when I play as America.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

Fanatical Collectivists and Xenophiles, maybe?

Then again, I've never see taxes get paid in MLP. No social safety net. No standing military.
You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.
