As GB I have all of India and North America in 1752. I have a profit of 100,000 per turn. I could have more but I have trained some exotic armies and fleets just for the fun.

In my UP game (almost 1740), I now make roughly 60k a turn but have only 100k in the bank. I'm addicted to building improvements everywhere. I have roughly 26 provinces, which built around 20+ global trading ports between them.

I'm now building fleets since I barely have any. Building quite a few third rates. Second rates look crappy so I'm waiting for my upgrades to finish so I can build first rates.

I'm playing as GB and its around 1860. I control all of NA and India while managing not to go any further than nose thumbing at any other Euro powers. Taxes are set at the lowest level in all theatres and I have around 20 or so full stacks sitting around waiting for someone to do something stupid. Despite the 50k upkeep for the military, I'm bringing in 75-80k per turn and have no navy to speak of. Even territories like Cherokee and Kaintuck are fully upgraded and bringing in 13k+ per turn. The cash from the Indian provinces is just insane. Since I have over 2 million in the bank, I'm going to give a bunch of money, some techs, and a couple of provinces to my protectorate, the Knights if St. John, and see if I can coax them to evolve into a military/economic powerhouse.

Mexico's my highest income province right now. They're pulling in roughly 15k a turn and rising. I just got the last upgrade for mines and am upgrading everywhere.

My first time I played as the Maratha nation I was into the millions of $ cause I controled almost all the trade theaters and was dominating every contenent by a lot. I now am trying the Russians out.
