Took me a while but I'm slowly getting into CK2. It was watching some of Arumbas After The End videos that did it for me.
I'm still using console commands, just so I don't have to worry about silly little things like income while I'm learning the ins and outs of the rest of the game mechanics.

Can I have all three?
Where must we go, we who wander this wasteland, in search for our better selves?
In Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws
The only shadow that the Desert knows:—
"I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone,
"The King of Kings; this mighty City shows
"The wonders of my hand." The City's gone,
Nought but the Leg remaining to disclose
The site of this forgotten Babylon.

We wonder, and some Hunter may express
Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace,
He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess
What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place.

No.....I've done this before, if you get 50% or more of Communism in your political ideologies, you become the USSR.
