Oh man, have any of you been playing Victoria 2? This game is so addictive...

You start playing as any nation in 1836 and have to manage economy, diplomacy, military and whatnot. One of my most interesting games was forming Germany as Bavaria while Prussia was still around to try to screw me over in the process.

Picture is of my first empire, a Communist Austria-Hungary.

>1836
>Not the BRITISH EMPIRE
Seriously? They are like the pimp-est nation in Europe, Asia, Africa and North America.
You'd have to be either crazy, or Napoleon to pick another nation.
Or just crazy.

British Empire is Nr. 1 for most of the game, but I'm a westerboo for Austria so I mostly play as them.

Although playing as the United States, releasing New England and attempting to annex Canada makes for cool game too.

Brits are quite probably the most boring nation to play in Vicky 2. Too goddamn powerful and absolutely no challenge at anything.
They also make a horribly annoying end boss for any other power, a fucking behemoth of the country. I wish there was a game mode with a fractured British empire. But then again, AI is so horribly bad that without Britain playing world police you would be able to roll over anything.
