it's a government simulator where you can lead any nation through the most interesting period of human history, 1444 to 1820 ad. in my experience, every nation except spain is really ****ty.
except when they're involved in land battles with france, then france totally owns spain. and for some reason even when i try to play as austria everybody west of me kicks my ass, but when i'm playing as anyone else from either side of the rhine i get my ass handed to me by austria because austria is like #1 historically, i mean look at these ****in summer houses:
if america has taught me anything about winning, those summer houses belonged to winners.
