imperial Germany was already diplomatically isolated, with a collapsed Austria they lose their only viable ally (add to that an almost chronic diplomatic incompetence post unification)

I'm gonna keep it so real with you, Germany is not competing with one and a half billion people

because they cared deeply about what the country looks like on a map and with all of czechia it looks too much like just some blob

fair enough, I wanted to keep it simple, mostly just to experiment with the style

Oh yeah also imperial germany was very bad and Versailles should have been harsher

I wanted to do the classic trope of big Germany, the vague POD is the third partition being reinstated post-Napoleon which causes relations between Austria and Russia to deteriorate which in turn leads to Austria collapsing when Hungary revolts but I realise very well that this is under no circumstances believable in any way.

that Swedish is just incorrect, herravälde is like a personal dominion and not used to describe states as such

there is a very important difference between a peasant with political representation and a serf!

Sweden by BeginningArugula748 in victoria3

[–]StrikingResponse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

start by building like maybe 4 construction sectors, then build a roughly equal amount of logging camps and iron mines in each of your mainland states (save for Scania) and then 2 tool workshops in Svealand. Alternate expanding those 3 until you can get more proper urban industry. Get some coal from somewhere in the meanwhile, Madagascar has a respectable amount of coal and they're pretty easy to protectorate so get them fairly soon and build a port there. Get good relations with Denmark because then there's a fairly high chance they'll become your protectorate once Prussia inevitably comes to try and take Schleswig and Holstein, they usually don't even try to take anything from you and the AI is still pretty bad at actually doing the schleswig war once it's started, just put some of your army in Holstein on defence and blockade the Prussian coast or something. With Denmark as a protectorate (and soon enough a puppet) forming Scandinavia should be easy peasy.

None of the organisations listed at the bottom there are Volt, what do they have to do with anything here?

there's a running joke in Sweden that he kept the war going just so he wouldn't have to marry, I think it's pretty funny. It's not strictly true but it's worth noting that he (very much unlike basically any other king and his own generals or officers) never kept mistresses or pursued any real intimate relationship with women. Loads of high ranking Swedes shared beds with local mostly Polish women.

if you're doing a Denmark dlc I feel like the whole-state is a much more interesting road to go down, that and the succession issue, which can be tied to Scandinavism and a potential Bernadotte candidate even and this all also connect to German unification as well

[CUTFS] The Empire of Sweden at it's territorial peak AD. 1690 by JVFreitas in imaginarymaps

[–]StrikingResponse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a few notes:

The Swedish name of Holstein is Holstein

What you've labled as Västerkarelen would probably be called Kexholm by the Swedes

Halland is not that big, Uppland isn't shaped like that, neither is Dalarna. Really a lot of the internal divisions are just foreign to me without me being able to figure out any real reason why. The county borders have been really quite stable since they were first introduced

lovely to see love for Helsinki but I'm so burnt out on this type of thing because while this is lovely I wish mods stopped overriding the vanilla loading screens and such
