I agree that France should have at least one more region. The French AI (along with the Spanish AI) is seriously handicapped with the amount of territory it has to build up, vs. the armies it needs to maintain in Europe. UP can eliminate France by 1703. Not a very realistic scenario!

My personal opinion is that the minor nations should be seriously cut. Their income is too large vs. their holdings, and they can field larger armies than major nations! France should not be out-gunned by Wurtemberg!
