Europe, 1614.
The Venetian Republic is the dominant power.
The French are carved, and are a much reduced power. They can no longer boast of being the most powerful and populous European nation. Venice is now that. The forced release of Normandy and Toulouse in earlier wars have also weakened their position. Spain is doing well, profiting by attacking Toulouse when we did not have the heart to fight them. However, we have deprived them of their Carribean posessions (Haiti), The Canaries, the Beleares, Sicily, and Sardinia. Out next target is to cut France into half by seizing territories to Brittany, and then devour them whole at our leisure. Simultaneously, we shall make war on the Ottoman Empire and seize Greece as our Province. Future plans include the possibility of pushing the Ottomans out of Europa and into Anatolia, forcing them to release states in Atatolia to reduce them to a minor power, or devouring them whole, thus driving them to their frigid holdings in Russia and converting Anatolia. Our third target will then be Spain, and then finally our allies, Austria. The completion of this master plan will then leave us as the overwhelmingly dominant power in Europe, thus allowing us to carry our banners to the Americas, where England and Portugal remains dominant, and India and the East Indies, where we shall take up the cry of Deus Vult and force all major nations to be our vassals, thus ensuring overwhelming and lasting Venetian domination of most of the world, and then, we may turn to... China.
Our allies and vassals. Austria is our most loyal and powerful ally.
Our posesstions in the new world. The Carribbean is our dominion. However, North and south american are out of our hands.
Our holdings in the Cape. And essential fueling and marshalling stop for any expedition to the East indies.
We have already secured several islands vital to launching any attack on a nation in the Indian region or Southeast asia.
Our finances are the most awesome in the world, leading our nearest competitor, Portugal, by half. Our inflation is not an issue and is easily managed.
The inner workings of the finances of the nation. Trade is by far our most important pillar of our economy, followed by production, which we have effected to improve to reduce our reliance on trade, which may be disrupted. Our production income was formerly half of what it is approximately 10-20 years ago.
Our dominance of the world's trade centers. Venetian merchants can be found posessing a major share in almost any of the world's major trade centers.
Well, what do you think?
PS: I started from a 1490s date. I forgot to rewind it back to 1453. But now that I think of it, it's a better choice, given that the major powers of France, Spain, Austria, and the Ottomans are properly formed.
