Mightiest empires of the 1700 century?

[Pinxit]

This thread is quickly gaining the potential to turn into a big nationalistic argument. Lets not get to worked up over this eh? If you think a nation should be regarded as the best around then wait till Empire comes out then take it and make it so, simple as that.

Also on Finland as a Scandinavian country? Some say it is, some say it isn't, but frankly it isn't the point of this thread.

Like I said earlier, we will never reach a cler agreement on the most powerful factions. Not even if we argue points for years. :P

But its fun to argue points for years, and we dont need to agree. And you learn quite a lot doing so.

True, true. Just keep it friendly like and no one will have a problem. Capiche? (This came across as much more threatening than intended, but what the heck )

In the interest of sparking healthy debate I propose that you all acccept the obvious truth that The Duchy of Savoy was by far the mightiest Empire of the time. Discuss.

Well the Dukes became kings of Italy, and Italy clams the heritage of Rome, so yes I guess in a back handed way you could say that.

That was, of course, after the game's timeline.
