1. Why are my borders wrong. My border on the map ends halfway through Kazakhstan. It should go all the way to Afghanistan and all that over to Iran.
2. What’s the black areas in India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.

Or even better

At this point it’s literally every major European power against the Kebab.

It's not really for Christianity, as you've probably have guessed. It's just for allies to help take down Ottoman so Britain can gain Egypt and Sinai. Canal building intensifies

Nation name: The Iberian Empire

National Ideology: Composite-Monarchy

Nation's Leader(s): Empress Maria I the Pious (in Portugal), Emperor Ferdinand VII the Desired (in Spain)

National Government Type: Absolutist-Duel Monarchist-Empire

National history: After Spain won the Portuguese Restoration War (1640-1668), King Carlos's advisers told him to take it lightly on the Portuguese. He agreed, and let the Portuguese have thier own Monarch. So, Iberia is now a Duel-Monarchy (like Austria-Hungary). King Alfonso I of Portugal and King Carlos II expanded thier Empire, taking over most of South America. By the early 1700's, Spain was in Chaos. King Pedro of Portugal sent 300,000 troops in Spain to restore order, but was unsuccessful. The Austrians then declared War on Iberia, and lost its Invasion. Order eventually came to Spain, bringing Prince Philip of France to the Spanish Throne. Over the decades, Iberia prospered (Besides a little mishaps). Real trouble began in 1775 when British colonist in North America were rebelling from King George III of Britain. King Carlos III of Spain decided to declare War on Britain in 1776. After the War, Iberia and France were bankrupt. They had to raise thier taxes by alot. By 1788, France was in turmoil, while Iberia was getting out of bankruptcy. In 1789, the French had enough of thier government. Thus, the French Revolution began.

There is no way, that your country is this strong. First of, that is way too many boats (especially first rates). Secondly, with a military of that size, most of your troops would be outfitted with old stuff you find in run down castles (Especially considering you are currently in the process of exiting bankruptcy). And Lastly, all of your American states are probably antsy to leave Spain. With Mexico already having pulled it off, it is only a matter of time before they all leave. So here are some changes that need to be made; reduce navy by a lot (about 80-85%), if you are going to keep that military size, make sure you understand they are not an army of 1.2 million crack shot infantry. More than half would be peasants. Lastly, you can either keep all of those lands in the Americas, but will most likely face large scale revolts within a year (could be made worse by actions taken by Mexico), or select a lot less land in America that will be easier to maintain.

You know the word, “modern” and “Russian Empire,” don’t equate, right? If you wanted modern, you get current borders of Russia (minus Crimea). If you wanted the Russian Empire, you get what you have currently. If you wanted the Russian Empire at its greatest extent, you should’ve made that clear.
