So after looking at all the screens of EUIII in this thread for quite some time, and with a serious need to get things off my mind over the weekend i bought EUIII - Complete and dove in. I have to say, it's a really satisfying experience once you get the grip of things. I haven't tried any mods yet mainly because I am still getting the hang of vanilla, but what I see so far I love. 
The result of my first serious play through is the Merchant's Republic of Novgorod.
Uniting the smaller Russian states was, at first, just a fool's dream as Muscovy and Tvar had both grown powerful early on. Through a mix of shady business that has earned me quite the bad reputation I forcefully annexed every Russian state I could, with the exception of Pskov which Lithuania (current ally) beat me to. I'm engaged in a bit of a Cold War with the Golden Horde, the true power on the steppes, after the last war I fought against them and their Ottoman allies ended in a minor defeat for me. That light green is an Ottoman satellite outpost, taken from me in the war.
