[Abe Sargent]

The 200 Year Retrospective:


We have the highest prestige in the game.

We have dropped to 5th in inflation, and our inflation is now around 9.2%.

We have the highest income in the game, now exceeding even that of Ming.

We are nowhere near the highest technology in an area except for government. The highest in each area in Tuscany.

We have more provinces than any other European power.

Liguria, Venezia and Alexandria give us the most taxes. The highest non-COT? Lombardia.

Lombardia gives us the most gold in production – higher than any gold province. Makassar is second. Then the gold provinces begin.

The second most common culture after Lombard is al Misr Arabic.

Our most common trade? Fish. Ugh, that’s like one of the worst ones. Second is wine.

Ming has 5 COTs to our three.

The most valuable trade goods in the world are Chinaware, Sugar, Tobacco, Tea, and Spices, in that order with Coffee just behind spices.

Our badboy is currently 8.74.

We have maxed, 200 relations with France, Auvergne, Provence, Bourbonnais, Orleans, Foix (France and her bitches), Lithuania, Great Britain, Aragon and Funj.

We have 77 infantry regiments, 32 cavalry, and 2 cannon regiments. That’s a total of 111 land regiments.

We have 21 Flytes, 1 barque, 2 Galleons and an Early Frigate.

We are currently in a Feudal Monarchy and I have no desire to change our form of government.

Yay for Deus Vult, the national idea that let’s me go through all of these wars against Mamluks, Tunis, Ceylon, Bali, Brunei and Makassar without losing any stability.


Asian Holdings, both colonial and non. I am going to just give essential facts – remind you of trade, if the religion or culture is different than mine, and stuff like population, and annual income. I am, however, going to use this as a master list for what I think a province still needs to be built there. I will be more specific with new provinces.


Taiwan – 8583 people work Chinaware. We get 39.69 ducats annually from here. Constable could be used.

Halmahera – A spice province with 1520 workers. 22.66 ducats. Marketplace needed.

Bali-Lombok – This coffee province features 114756 people who are Catholic but Sulawesi. 41.24 ducats are made here. Needs nothing.

Makassar – The newly captured province of Makassar is a Sunni province. 380738 people work the spice trade and the province has a tax value of 9. It is a mega good province. The Sulawesi people here make us 47.35 ducats and that’s without it being a core province. It came with a workshop and courthouse. It needs a lot, marketplace, constable, customs house at the very least.

Banjarmasin – This spice province recently captured from Brunei has a fort being built in it right now. The 28514 Malay Sunnis make us 24.81 ducats. The province had no buildings. I find this sad, because Brunei had the tech to have walls, workshops, and such but chose not to. We will upgrade this province over time.

Sabah – The other province taken from Brunei. 24661 Malay Sunnis work the spice trade here as well. 24.43 ducats are made here. Again, walls are currently being built. The remaining non-capital Brunei provinces have no major trade goods, but the capital is another spice province.

Jaffna – The 17573 Buddhists here also work spices. The Sinhala make 25.01 ducats. This province could us a marketplace, and then after we convert the people, more tax bonus buildings Jaffna is currently one of two provinces with a revolt risk. The other is.

Korales – The 38348 make 35.41 ducats working the sugar trade. The Sinhala Buddhists are also currently being uppity. This place could really use a marketplace as well.

Mataram – This province is currently a colony.


Sub-Sahara Africa – All of these provinces are former colonies.

Little Karoo – 2754 sugar farmers make 33.13 ducats. This place could also use a marketplace.

Cape – Wine is the name of the game here. 26.97 ducats are made by the 2309 people. This province has a high tax base, and has been built up, and needs nothing else. In fact, Cape is the third highest province not a Center of Trade in terms of tax incomes (Lombardia, then Savoie, then Cape).

Roggeveld – This gold province is inside the coastline and adjacent to Cape. 1559 people work the trade here, making 43.77 ducats. A wall is currently being built here.

Cape Verde – Is currently a colony.



West Indies and Caribbean: All of these provinces are former colonies.



Turks Islands – 4142 people work the Cotton trade here. 27.29 ducats are made. It could use a marketplace.

Bahamas – 24.59 ducats are made in this cotton province. 8096 people live here. It could also use a marketplace.

Jamaica – Sugar is harvested by the 2771 people here. 35.59 ducats are made here. A marketplace and Customs House would be appropriate here.


Greenland: These two provinces were once colonies:


Eiriksfjord – Fish is the trade here. 3.41 ducats are made by 1761 people. There is no need for anything here, ever.

Vestbygden – Fur is traded here. 14.32 ducats are made by the 1332 people. It could use a marketplace.


South American: These provinces are all previous colonies of ours:


Santana – This gold province attracted us to the area and we’ve been expanding here ever since. 2624 people make us 44.01 ducats. It doesn’t need any improvements.

Sao Vicente – One of many sugar provinces in this area, Sao Vicente was the first one here that we colonized. 34.49 ducats are made by the 3729 people. Marketplace is a definite need.

Santo Amaro – 2895 farmers harvest sugar here. It needs a marketplace. 28.24 ducats are made here.

Rio de Janeiro – 3296 sugar farmers make 28.29 ducats. Need marketplace.

Espirito Santo – 26.93 ducats are made in this sugar province. Like the others, it needs a marketplace. 2389 people work and live here.

Porto Seguro – The seventh and final coastal province of this area, this is also a sugar province in need of a marketplace. 28.16 ducats are made by the 2292 people here.

Minas Gerais – Another gold province, this time inland. 1291 make 44.96 ducats. Needs nothing else.

Guayra – This tobacco province is behind the coastal ones like Minas Gerais. 2489 people make us 24.10 ducats. A marketplace would be good here too.

Mato Grosso is a colony here behind Minas Gerais.



African and Middle East Provinces: These were all taken from Mamluks save two. The default here is that they are all Sunni unless otherwise stated.

Delta – This fish province features 62274 people making 7.88 ducats. Like Tunis, this is a good conversion target. It combines a high taxvalue with a small trade value – making its only value taxes, which are hurt by the different religion factor.

Diamientia – 12193 fishers make us 6.08 ducats. Nothing else here is of any worth.

Sinai – This is a moderately wealthy salt province. Salt is a solid trade item. 7200 people work the trade making 15.88 ducats. (See?)

Gaza – Another salt province, 10118 make us 16.04 ducats. Nothing else is needed here.

Judea - 21408 grain workers make 5.51 ducats. This is a high priority conversion target – high taxvalue, low trade good value, and its Jerusalem.

Beirut – This newly Catholic province features 97629 people working the Naval Supplies trade. 13.24 ducats are made here. A constable would be good for this place.

Damascus – With a skyhigh tax value and a low trade good, the large populace of Damascus is a key conversion target. 293034 people harvest grain making us 7.73 ducats.

Gojjam – 19987 Orthodox people work the grain fields and generate 3.3 ducats, needing nothing.
