Tried a game as Belgium and nearly got whacked by Holland until the London Treaty, at which point I had to raise taxes like mad and lower all other expenditures just to make ends meet. Wish I could figure this game out.

In some ways playing UK can be a blessing. You can do evrything wrong and still come out top 3.

If you have lots of corruption, spend more on crime fighting... dont tax anyone above 49.99%, this will encourage emigration from your country, which you dont want.
