After Northern England, Wales feels the Cossack's brutal whip.
More troops were lost in storming Ireland, then planned. Regardless, the British Empire was dealt a decisive blow. (England collapsed shortly afterwards Russia signed a peace treaty with Brits).
More rushing settlers (without founding cities yet), since Portugal and Germany were now constantly exchanging second place in the population, preventing the victory.
Russia refuses to give the lands NW of Kamchatka away, Japan and soon-to-be-collapsed England declare war.
In the same congress, Hitler demanded Kiev, but didn't declare war when I refused. This was very nice of Hitler.
<Insert a picture of Hitler plushie here>
For some strange coding reason, that Congress declaration of war on Russia included my vassal Korea, who soon realized its mistake. It was too late at this point, though. Japan did nothing to help Korea, soon signing a white peace.
The world is so delightfully totalitarian.
Trades. The one with Portugal was important for growing our population. Natalism rocks.
Hitler started a spaceship program to populate the cosmos with blonde blue-eyed Aryans, but we were nearer and nearer to the ability to build The Great AI Army And Population Remover, aka "nukes". Note also the settlers-in-waiting.
The Third Reich revealed its aggressive intentions towards Europe, as it declared war on Austria and Netherlands, anschlussing Austria and conquering Amsterdam, prompting a Dutch collapse.
(Newcastle flipped to Scandinavia, if you were wondering).
Then it proceeded to attack France. The French, for some reason, started building ships. Probably they were doing so in order to escape from Europe. Seriously, what a dumb AI. Not that France wouldn't have fallen even if controlled by Deity players from 'Strategy and Tips'.
Germany does a smart move by building the SDI. Not that this would prevent me from still mass producing and rushbuying nukes.
Also, there was another Congress, in which I decided to actually give Japan what it wants. I didn't need a distraction to my evil nuclear warfare plans.
German declaration of war on Netherlands had also placed Germany in a war with Japan. So the whole part of the Wermacht that wasn't busy wailing on the French started its trek across the open Russian borders all the way to Kamchatka. Apparently, the whole "master race" thingy didn't work out well, since German generals, evidently, weren't the brightest bulbs in the box.
Also, the New World Order, previously known as the United States of America (yeah, it's the dynamic name for a 'totalitarian' USA), had collapsed.
1996 would be a fateful year in the planet's history, indeed. (The colony on Madagascar was founded as a base for Tactical Nukes to strike Portuguese East Africa).
