Seriously though. Aside from my practically fanboyish fervor for Russia, I'd really love to give the Ottoman Empire a spin. Aside from destroying my target of affection, there's the fun of going head to head with Austria!

Is it wrong that I have no desire to play in any theater of operations than Europe? Who needs colonies when the old world is still not united!
The Ottoman Empire is most likely my second choice. They differ from the rest. As do Russia. Anyone have any idea about the power of the Ottomans compared to a country like France during this timeperiod? I know their land was vast, but is it anything more to it than that? Did the European countries fear the Ottomans or were the Ottomans more like an annoying "thing" disrupting trade in the far away wastelands?
