We have no badboy and could launch another war any time

130/110/16 is the breakdown of my troops (infantry, cavalry, artillery).

13/13/3/28 is my naval breakdown (Heavy war, light war, light escort, transport)


We have a six star governmental advisor. How many 6 star advisors are there in the world? Seven, including ours. We have a five star production advisor. There are 11 such advisors in the world.


Huron leads the world with 36% inflation. Oirat Horde is next at 25%. The highest European country is Hungary at 10%. We have 0% inflation.


We have the highest prestige and highest income, almost twice Ming’s.


At 42, we have the most advanced armies in the world, although France and Portugal are right behind at 41.

At 42 we have the most advanced navies in the world, although France, Castille and Great Britain are right behind at 41.

At 37, our production is four behind the leader, Austria, at 41.

At 37, our trade is four behind the leaders, Ming, Castille and Burgundy.

At 41, our government tech is tied with seven other nations for highest


We have the most provinces


These provinces are the top twenty at giving us taxes:


Venezia *
Liguria *
Alexandria *
Lombardia
Firenze
Roma
Savoie
Barcelona
Malacca * #
Napoli
Mantua
Siena
Mataram @ #
Cape @
Bithynia #
Valencia
Bern
Astrakhan * #
Korales #
Messina



An asterisk designates a COT. A number sign designates an Asian province. An @ sign designates a former colony.

As you can see, Italian provinces continue to dominate this list. 7 of the top 8 are Italian provinces, with only a COT breaking that. Four more Italian provinces chart after that. After I achieved land connection with my capital to our Turkish, Balkan and Mamluk territories, I expected some of them to leapfrog the list, but except for Bithynia, none charted.

By the way, the next two provinces are also Italian (Palermo and Pisa) so that trend continues. Then Makassar is next.


Our top twenty provinces by production



Okinawa
Malacca *
Makassar
Bali-Lombok
Tripolitania
Korales *
Bithynia * %
Bursa %
Antalya %
Aleppo %
Brescia
Lombardia *
Angora %
Taiwan
Alania G %
Erserum %
Siena *
Palermo
Smyrna %
Napoli

As asterisk designates a province good enough to make both lists. That’s a valuable province. A G designates a gold province. A percent sign indicates a province that we took from the Ottomans. See how good they were? Remove the Asian provinces from the list, and you have just 5 provinces from Europe. However, the Ottomans had 8 such provinces all in a condensed area. All of those provinces are Turkish. It’s a very valuable area, and it’s no wonder that the Ottomans were powerful with that economic core. 6 provinces were Asian and one African.

Only one COT, Malacca, charts on this list, and only one colony does as well (Taiwan). Malacca makes 86.12 ducats annually, more than many multiple province nations make.

Our biggest provinces by total income (Must have at least 70 ducats to chart):


Malacca
Okinawa
Lombardia
Makassar


I fought one province wars for three of those four provinces.


Religion:


Our biggest religion is obviously Catholic, with what looks to be around 85% of my provinces. The remainder is Sunni, Orthodox or Buddhist.



Culture

Our main culture is still Lombard. Here are the next five biggest:

Turkish
Catalan
Greek
al Misr Arabic
Sicilian



Production

Here are my biggest exports


Fish
Sugar
Wine
Spices
Grain
Cloth
Wool

Everything Else


The more valuable provinces have moved up the list, which is exciting.


The previous trade good list appears to still be accurate.


We now have five COTs. Ming? They have seven.
