I cheated at game day one to give myself the "Super Germany" as seen in some speedrun videos which acquire it as early on as 1837.

I want to know what "metas" does this game offer in terms of breaking the game mechanics or min-maxing the mechanics. The economy and populations are pretty complex and I'm just trying to play around with them. Here's mine.

Bohemia is my most populous province at more than one million, men, women, kids? I don't really know. Maybe it's only functional males. I started out early on with promoting recruitment in several of my most populous provinces where Germans were a minority. It's now 1850, and in Bohemia's case, the soldiers are now 80 percent Germans out of more than 30,000. All the Czech regiments I could raise I sent to Alceny, and the Germans I made regular armies of. I'm not really sure what this is accomplishing. It seems a lot of Germans emigrated to these provinces to become soldiers.

Population figures count only working-age men in nearly all screens, but sometimes just to change it up they use the whole population (which is about 4x that number). I don't remember which is where though.

I think your Bohemians will be more effective as factory workers than as soldiers :)
