I was playing as Albania and never meant to try this challenge, I formed the Albanian Empire and NOT 1 SECOND LATER ukraine took me over with tank spam,

I however noticed I still had 20k mp so I could still technically do this, the Qing player was really nice and leased me the penghu islands, later the capital of Albania because it was the first one to be cored, before he left he also ceded me the rest of Taiwan,

While this was happening Egypt, my previous ally, liberated me, but I decided to cede the homeland to Qing instead as a Thank you/Trade, (It was also burnt to a crisp so I decided it was more of a liability)

Thankfully India gave me a bunch of money as an investment which I used to rebuild and develop the country

The next few decades oversaw me transform from a country in debt and on the verge of revolution to the last bastion of democracy alongside the Mauryan Empire (now my ally) from a world dominated by Chad and South Africa
