You can't unless you cheat. :( Again, it is bad luck that Austria DOW you in 1838.

In Revolutions, it is around 1843, so you have 8 years to flee from the mainland europe...
I'm going through a quick game, and it's 1844, Ricky, vanilla... and the war haven't fired yet..

Four techs being offered to Mexico at +180 relations for SF, still no deal. :(
 
how would I cheat my way out of the war?
any idea?

press F12, type: neville


then you could make a peace.




Let me include my way of getting land off europe.



Krakow should research Practical steam engine at first, because she need mech production later. (remember San Diego produce dirt cheap grain, you need that to prevent bankrupcy)

Not much trick for your budget, you may instead maximize defence for more prestige though (Other than using on crime fighting)

Sell your stockpiles! They are of no use. (retain luxury clothes, you'll need that for a cappi)

1500 cash is more than enough to escape from Europe

Fortunately, some guy bankrupted this early, WAR!

Hey Mexico, let's be friends, I'll subsidize your war with USA. (How generous!)

Hey Mexico, I'll tell you the secrets of having a professional navy...

SF is majority Mexicans, you're screwed if you want it. I just start a random game and got this result, that isn't really hard huh.

if you are as late as 1844 and have 5 techs to offer, with a relationship as high as 180 (The above deal is made at 106 relationship). You need to calculate which techs to research then, I guess you could even get 2 provinces off Mexico. (In one deal, because you'll lose many prestige.)

in 1844 if you have clean coal early I guess you have a lot of money by now. Don't be hurry for social reforms, enact them after you moved. (they cost like single digits to enact) Oh, wait, remember to get ideological thought before you moved! After you moved you generate no RP until you get your first immigrant (so you could get some plurality bonus) Immigrants should start flocking in when you have around 30 plurality. (And the age of Krakow begins)

Well, I managed to knick SF off Mexico for 5 techs and $1000, but it looks like I got the wrong province. Crap.

Anyway, I managed to get myself a cappi, but I'm heavily, heavily in debt, and the cappi is barely making any cash. However, /w the liberal party in power, immigrants are litterally gushing into San Francisco, and assimilating within two to three days.

I also released Poland as a satellite, which I probably shouldn't have done.

Also, what Californian provinces become rare metal provs? Is it San Diego?

San Francisco don't produce precious metal, it it those inland provinces. San Bernardino is one.

Well, late in game automobiles are worth more than precious metals(if not much more), so I think the POP growth rate is your concern. A grain/fruit province is better in the long run.

Cash could be obtained by tech trading, you should be able to demand an extra of a few thousand cash for a 1 to 1 tech trade. Those money would be handy for starting your economy. Don't research unnecessary industrial/commerce tech as that'd lower the cash-generating ability of your cappis if your export is not especially high.

Later in game you should consider invading Mexico, especially demand the two province in California. That would help you to assimilate immigrants (your assimilation limit for non-state religion is 10k, when immigrants are spread to two or more provinces you're more likely to assimilate them. The other expansion possibility is the Carribean, Which is rich in Population and are catholic, that means you could assimilate them easily.
