Are you calling me stupid?

[Segmentia]

Could we knock off the petty sniping, please? I realise I don't have the actual authority to demand this, but it's becoming tiring.

No, I'm calling most people stupid. No one has spoken any truth directly to you, with you denying it, so, therefore, you are not stupid...

And ew, Salem, just ew. *Cries at TV.*

[Gadrana-Eshil]

Salem, and Black Mirror stress me the fuck out. They're bloody demented T_T And downright disturbing. ((Black Mirror is an eye-opener, and a thought-maker, though ^_^))

*Snips the hat's fur.* Hm, I must haz dis analyzed, discover what animal it comes from, hunt the animal frequently, and sell it... FOR THE EMPIRE!

The Portuguese one, obviously, and not the oddly small British Empire, which should do some expandings.

[Gadrana-Eshil]

What are the rules regarding expansion? How fast is expansion?

/knows nothing of expansion in this day, and age

Portugal into all the places.

Power does not come from having the most territory, it comes from having the best territory.

Tell that to the US, China, and Russia :3... mostly China, and Russia, tho :/

Expansion was fast in anywhere where European civilization did not exist such as Africa. Now S.E. Asia might be easier but stronger kingdoms such as Siam and the Vietnamese could hold their ground particularly on land. So expand here all you will using colonialism. Now America would be a bit difficult as strong powers control it with your best bet being Haiti but any other war would probably end in your defeat or white peace. Expansion in Europe is practically impossible for you as Spain could stop you easily and taking any other land would be hard as you have no claims outside of your cores. It would also take some political/royal maneuvering to avoid other powers such as Austria/France from stopping you. So expansion in Europe and America would be slow and very costly. Now finally is Asia which is not all realistic as the Qing and Ottomans are simply too strong for you. So if I was you, I would simply get colonies started up everywhere and allying yourself with some stronger powers such as Siam in order to get your stake in S.E. Colonialism is mainly the only way you are going to grow.

Sorry for the lengthy post but I like analyzing geo-political interactions

[Segmentia]

Neither if which are as powerful as Britian.

Al of those countries have useful land, tons of it. And power still doesn't come from the land;

Look at Germany, no resources, and one of the largest economies in the world. Same with Japan, and Britain.

Very true, partly the reason that Denmark can colonize and have an enormous army yet Sweden is practically weak among the Nordic nations and Russia can dominate their relations (with strong effort though)

D'aw, you're so kawute. *Petpets the geo-politics bunny.*

So, uhm, do I just NPC expansion of territory, ask the OP to edit the map for me, and NPC places like Siam?

[The Greater Dutch Republic]

I'm switching. It's not fun to get invaded so close to game's start and already have like four countries planning to partition you and no one wants to help. So do whatever you want to Prussia, because the next county I pick will be isolated. And it's not Switzerland.

Pretty much. Just start up colonies and maybe do the same as the Dutch by starting trading companies to help. As for the Siam, they would most likely agree to relations but they were fiercely independent so attempting war right now with you limited colonies in Asia would be devastating and humiliating to you.

(P.S. If anyone wants their geo-political position analyzed, just ask nicely)

Awww, good for me though as I will assume control of the North - Austria, if you need someone else to take out now NPC Prussia in the North, I'll be happy to help (but bribe me first)

Hey, will you please analyze Ragusa's position? I'm curious as to what you think.

Yay! And I already had a trading company on my to-do list

And who are the Siam? Q_Q I dunno who they are.

Well, I just remembered that I suck at RPing war. Prussia is, as the saying goes, "an army with a country", and therefore isn't the best country for me to play as. So I'm going the way of my people, and staying neutral.
