Through session nine, the players have represented their nations for the following shares of the game time:
Austria - 99 years; 83%
Burgundy - 89 years; 75%
Castille - 88 years; 74%
England - 105 years; 88%
Ottomans - 104 years; 88%
Average - 82%
The remainder of the time, these nations were under the wise guidance of the artificial intelligence. Which, in some cases, was actually quite adept at managing the countries.
