"I always thought that Portugal wasn't included because of difficulty of simulating the effects of the treaty of Tordesillas"
? so what? The treaty divided the world between portugal and spain, and it didn't lasted for too long... In the game I guess spain can colonize north america and england can focus on brazil, why then is it a problem the division between east and west and not north and south?
In america portugal colonized brazil and urugai was disputed between portugal and spain for a long time. Portugal and Spain shared the same king between 1580 and 1640 but with separated crowns so the king was Phillipe II of Spain and Pillipe I of Portugal. So Iberia was united for 60 years we may say.
We all agree portugal is a must have, it's hard to ignore Brazil...
Other than portugal i would vote for sweden, they were the only power with some interests and power to colonize america. The germans we're too concerned about europe, and the russians were alreading expanding and colonizing in the east. The italians were divided and it would be hard to organize such an expedition, and the ottomans were allways having trouble trying to keep their empire united.
