Rio da Prata won its independence, as did Caraibas. Portugal pays a ton of cash and war reparations.

Of course the good thing here is that Rio is now free of the Portuguese tether

I can renew my alliance with either Portugal or Spain if I like. I expect we’ll kick out Spain like we just did with Portugal next. I get allies from other places.

9 May – We enter with an alliance with Caraibas

15 May – Canelos is a core-lore and I order-los a Plantation-los.

Navy – 19.99
Forts – 8
Colonies – 6.18


So we are making 151.95 a month.


I have 168 provinces, 4 colonies. Ranked 3rd.

[Abe Sargent]

I’m considering hanging it up. I’m in a strong place.

Long term goal is to either untether Spanish Brazil from Spain or to conquer it.


With 68 techs, we are 2 in front of anyone else in the world

With 38 ideas, we are in front of everyone in the world


3rd in manpower, 3rd in development
