Specifically:
Nations:
Playable: between 9 - 12.
-Britain
-Prussia
-France
-Spain
-America: Become a founding father. Control the fate of the United States of America, from its revolution against the British to overcoming the challenges of a young independent nation.
-Ottoman Empire
-Austria
-Holland

Confirmed:
- Sweden
- Russia
- Venice
- Spain
- Poland-Lithuania.

Non-playable: approximatly 40.

Listing Russia under the 'confirmed' while Spain and Holland are listed as 'playable' is a bit odd, at least, to me. Which isnt to say that Spain and Holland werent important players, but in the time period of this game they generally stuck to economic dealings and let the big five knock each other around.
