So my pc specs are:
CPU: AMD E-450 Dual core processor
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6320
Ram: 4GB DDR3 ram

Your CPU and video are below the minimum. The game will probably actually run, but not well or fast.
MINIMUM:- OS: Windows 7 64-bit or newer
- Processor: 4th Generation Intel i3 CPU or equivalent
- Memory: 4 GB RAM
- Graphics: HD 4600/Geforce 620/Radeon 6450 or equivalent GPUs with 1 GB of video RAM
- OS: Windows 7 64-bit or newer

So I tried it and it closes after launching and I tried running it in administrator mode
It should just run a plugin and then cookie your system specs for the website to use. Check that something isn't shutting that down.
If that doesn't work, try going to this page directly and manually entering your specs: https://www.systemrequirementslab.com/my-computer-details
Is it a discrete GPU or is it integrated? If it's integrated you could try increasing your system ram since it is shared between your GPU and CPU. If it's discrete, you'll have to get a new card.
I'm going to guess it's a laptop?
The AMD E-450 can support up to 8 GB of ram, but the motherboard will also have to be able to support that (if you know the model of it you can look up how much that would support). For a laptop, you'd have to buy a new ram stick and put it in. This will show you the basics for doing that, but like it recommends you have to check that your motherboard will allow new ram DIMMs (it's not hard soldered), and will support that amount and speed.

If you really aren't sure or comfortable doing it, take it to someone qualified. The last thing you want to do is be wrong and mess something up.
Radeon HD 6320 has 384MB of VRAM, this game requires at least 1GB to run in what I would refer to as "slideshow mode".
The AMD E-450 is also about 4.5 times slower than the slowest 4th Generation Intel i3 CPU, which is the minimum CPU requirement.
Even if you could get this running, I don't think it's going to be playable.

Yeah, this will not work.
If you like this type of game can I suggest Pharaoh and Zeus as great games that will run will well on your PC. They are old, but some of the best.
If you buy any of these games, make sure you get all the DLC with the purchase and don't pay too much as they are old. GOG is probably the best source for these game but steam has many of them as well. You could probably get some keys really cheap if you look on some of the shadier key re-sellers.
If you want to play any modern game you are going to need to buy a new PC, the CPU and PSU you have will not cut it.

It's a desktop it should be upgradable but it's maybe better to save your money for something else.
If you find a cheap GPU card that fit in your box (small form factor?) you can have a try.
Edit: on a second look, it's a desktop but with a very unconventional socket for the processor. You will not be able to upgrade very far. I would not spend money on this.

I had a e-450 netbook at one point that i used when overseas on planes, trains etc. The part was designed mainly for netbooks. So low wattage mini-laptops with very low performance requirements.
It was really slow on release (low wattage and very cheap). Even a decade ago when it was released it was incapable of playing any game released recently.
In order to find games to play, you are really looking at 1990's games. The city builders I suggested before are good and will work. If you want a Paradox game, try Victoria 2 (it has a cult following although it is very nerdy and hard to get into).

Sorry, I could not come close to handling EU4 on a E-450.
If you can deal with low FPS, maybe try Tropico 3. That was a nice city builder by the same guys who made this game.

Actually that is an APU chipset, so the Radeon HD 6320 has as much VRAM as you have free system ram, since it's shared resources. 384MB is just the minimum it will have and that will come right off your system ram.
The Clauswitz engine games will probably run just fine, though Stellaris might be a bit slow or hiccup on you and haven't tried HOI4 yet. Surviving Mars and Cities Skylines though will probably only run slowly and on very low settings, if at all. There's a lot of CPU usage in rendering and user agents in both games, and you'd really have to pare back your OS background services to free up the bare minimum of resources to get it to go. Quite honestly, I wouldn't try playing any game under the recommended requirements unless you are overclocking your system.
