Everyone loves to form nations, working their way up from a one province minor and eating their neighbors to become a new nation and then proceeding to eat their new neighbors. What else do people love? Clickers.

Calm down, I know you can already feel your wallets doubling in mass from the shear amount of potential money forming a rift between the realm of plausibility and reality but I have yet to get to the point.

Make a clicker game about forming nations
You can gain manpower by clicking on the country and use that manpower to annex territory or sacrifice it to Hephaestus to gain buildings that increase the rate of man power, and eventually when people inevitably get tired of the game, add a new dimension or let them expand into space or even conquer heaven itself!

Now I have already done the figures, taken into consideration the existing PDS fanbase, the fanbase of clicker games, and the potential draw it might have from the strategy crowd as a whole and I have come up with this number:

$7,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

Now that might seem meager right now, but this is simply within the first 24 hours of the games release, by the end of the month I have predicted that this number will have squared or even cubed.

Now of course I will only require 0.0002% of the profits for having come up with this ingenious idea, just enough to afford a fleet of squids equipped with gold-titanium alloy armor equipped with heats seeking rockets so I can establish a state in western Italy where only the rich will be allowed to look at much less live there. :)

Not Vicky.

VICTORIA III: She Deals Her Revenge.
PDS has had enough of people complaining about the absence of a successor to what was arguably their most engrossing game. To rectify the problem, they have revived Queen Victoria. This "Vicky 2.0" will have laser beams coming from its eyes to vapourise complaining fans. The first dev diary arrives next week. Oh, and you are charged 1000$ for every button you click (includes settings, menu and launcher.)

also can someone tell Biggie (rest in peace) that ducats are not a valid currency in sweden?

I have to admit that I laughed at that.

Didn't either Groogy or the Captain say that a few months ago?

What is a "clicker" game?
 
You click stuff to get points and buy better clicks, AFAIK.

Huh. I was really confused when I read that because where I come from (culture: Dixie), "clicker" is archaic slang for a television's remote controller.
 
$7,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00*100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
This is waaay more money than there is in the world, this would be enough to buy billions of earths.
It's safe to say that if paradox indeed earned the aforementioned $7*10^78 then the inflation of such a fortune would most definitely hurt the Swedish economy. It would more likely than not cause a worldwide market meltdown, that would result in the largest financial crisis in history.

So for the sake of the future of this planet I implore you not to share your secret moneymaking scheme with Paradox, or indeed anyone.
The world thanks you for sacrifice.

Rather than Italy you could always buy off one of those huge palaces here in India. Live your life as a Maharajah, among thousands of servants and maids, with walls and clothing dripping gold and jewels. Girls with outrageous clothing to stand by your bed as statues, and a private army that appears and disappears at a single clap, and people who are forced to be loyal to you.

Oh, and as a bonus you are also allowed to stomp anyone you want with your elephant. And of course 'nuke the world' button is always there in case something goes wrong.

It's okay, I'll buy everyone new money.

As nice as that sounds there is this weird French voice in the back of my head telling me to conquer the Piedmontese. I think it calls itself a mission.
