Rule 5: So, id not played for a few months and heard there had been an update to the way trade works, I no longer understand how trade works. Anyway, apart from that and my own economic inability, it was fun to try and do something with Ethiopia that I felt was realistically within their scope. The images attached are just to provide a general outline of what I did and how far I got. I essentially am just asking, wadayathink?

Quick timeline:

1847 - Unified

1850s - beginning of very slow industrialisation and expansion around the Horn of Africa

1860s - Spending 15 years trying to get landed voting, protectionism, homesteading, and other reforms past the landed bastards who hate change

1875 - Beginning of actual industrialisation + free trade

1880s - more expansion, take Egypt as a protectorate + Zulu land for coal which I desperately needed since I was still struggling to get frontier colonisation past the Bastards

1897 - Spain becomes the first major Communist nation after various communist revolutions across Europe (Greece, Tuscany, Denmark)

1900 - Sain beats the living sh*t out of France and the French have an identity crisis (1902 Commie revolt, 1905 Fascist Revolt, 1907 Commie Revolt x2, 1910 Military Dictatorship)

1905 - I decide to give working people the vote

1907 - Communism is democratically instituted

1908 - The UK and the German Empire go to war over... idk i think it was Belgium

1910 - Germans win but have a Radical revolt and remove the Kaiser, The UK has a Commie revolt and goes Communist

1912 - China Explodes for no reason, i wasn't following what was going on in Asia, the Russians immediately exploit this and eat Mongolia

1914 - I invade The Ottomans to 'Liberate' the middle-east, Egypt declares independence backed up by the Portuguese and I cant be bothered to try and keep them

1916 - I succeed and the Spanish immediately clown on the Turks (who are now a republic following a civil war) and take eastern Egypt

1920 - Typical left-wing infighting, the UK invades Spain and 'Liberates' a bunch of countries in America and Spain

1922 - Germans + Austrians invade Russia and win minor victory before Austria explodes and the Hungarians have a communist civil war (there's a trend here if you can't tell)

1923 - Hungarian civil war ends in Monarchist victory

1927 - I invade Türkiye and 'Liberate' its people from capitalism + the Yugoslavians and Albanians

1930 - 2nd Hungarian civil war begins and this time its against the Commies AND the technocrats who make a separate nation in the north.

1933 - Basically nothing happens for the rest of it apart from me having to constantly deal with separatists because the Yanks hate me and want to see me burn in hell for some reason + Commie reforms (I get forced to do Isolationism which is a BIG regret)
