If you know of one, I'm listening.

I know there is an event for a Scandinavian union, but I don't know the triggers for it.

I'm not even sure what my bb is. I took the 7 southern provinces in the last two wars with Sweden and Norway. I got two northern provinces from Russia after the first war with Sweden. Right now I'm in debt (10000) and lost Slevig(sp?) to Prussia

It might have been changed in VIP, but I know in regular Ricky Sweden has to pick the Scandinavian surge option at least one of the two times when Denmark gets into trouble with Prussia/Austria events. I think it has a higher chance of firing if Sweden chooses it both times. In both cases, Denmark can't lose Slesvig(oops

) So, assuming Denmark survives the wars unscathed, the nation with higher prestige created a Scandinavian gov't.

Sorry for the double post, but I started up another VIP game(i'm still going to go through with the USCS, but felt like a different game for now), as Bolivia. First goal- survive without Peru gaining independence. Turns out... Bolivia's got potential.

I've finally gotten a solidly liberal populace, with events that triggered a democratic government. Hoping that fills my badly unpopulated empire in. Been a heck of an interesting game- I narrowly avoided a collapse right off the bat due to a joint Argentinian/Chilean effort against me while my Peruvian populace was getting trigger happy. I got lucky in that the Argentines got hit even worse with rebellion, and I managed to beat them bady enough to gain military access, which I badly needed. Against the Chileans, we stalemated with two 20k forces plugging one province "bridges". With Argentina out, I manuevered the force I used against them around the chilean flank, and tore their forces apart. Took three provinces and turned Chile into a satelite.

After feeling satisfied that the Peruvians were done rebelling, I amied north at Ecuador. Ecuador was pitifully weak- I humiliated them while snatching all but three provinces in the first war. Few years later, I declared war on them again. However, Columbia was allied with them. Ecuador still had no army to speak of since I shattered their last one, and I annexed them. For some reason, columbia's always way too easy to beat, no different this time. I massacred them, took the three provinces which create Panama, took the state that separated Panama from my borders, and humiliated Columbia. To temper by badboy, I granted Panama independence.

Little bit after that, I created a small navy, moblized 100k troops, and dow'd on Korea- Bolivia has ZERO grain or coal.

China was guaranteeing their independence, and came to their aid- however, they were in the middle of the Taipeng war, and couldn't do much meaningful to help Korea. After about 9 months of drag down war, kicking down rebellion after rebellion, and instigating an invasion of mainland China, I finally got the southern two states from Korea, humiliated them, and took the island off of the peninsula. I outmanuevered China's lumbering 150k army that they had finally swung around to Manchuria, straight to Beijing, and took their offer of the island of Taiwan in exchange for peace. Promptly swung a bunch of troops back to Columbia, who I then turned into a satelite with ease.

In other words.... its been a wild ride.
