The game has some sillyness that I find unbearable (mostly the way POPs are holded), and the lack of tutorial makes it quite difficult to understand. As pointed out, there are a lot of tutorial AAR out there on Paradox forum (though reading through hundreds of comments also makes this annoying).

So far, I can't get into the game. It sure looks like a lot of fun once you know how to handle it (and play with VIP), but I just can't be bothered to constantly manage my POPs around in a completely unrealistic way. Hope you'll have more success than me :) (though I'll try it again once I have some free time).
