The strategy is to join a big market, get immgirants, explode population and make a big economy, and attack and conquer something, important to get a coast. Building tall.

      Ironically, I just started such a play through. Really easy to get all the surrounding lands, though. Hardest part is you can't join a market till you have a land connection to the coast. Otherwise your capital is cut off from the market, and has shortages of everything... even if you produce everything your internal economy needs.

    To be fair to the consistant Scandinavian unification event, our real world got oretty close to that in some way as well.
    Sweden and Norway were in a personal union, Sweden-Norway had a shared currency with Denmark, ect.
    I’d say that the independence of Norway was probably the biggest nail in the coffin, but then there wes ww1 which resulted in our respective countries dissolving our currency union in favour of local economic sovreignty during war times, the great depression that solidified state of affairs, the independence of Finland, which redirected Sweden’s focus away from Scandinavia, ww2, which led to tensions between Denmark and Norway on one side, and Sweden on the other side, due to Sweden reluctantly agreeing to help Germany with their logistics in occupied Norway through a deal letting the Nazi’s use our railwaus for that purpose.
    And of course, after the world wars ended, all the different Nordic countries decided to take different stances of different issues.
    Until recently, Denmark, Norway, and Iceland were NATO members, while Sweden and Finland were non-aligned.
    Sweden, Finland, and Denmark are members of the EU, while Norway and Iceland are only members of the EEC.
    And among the Nordic EU members, Finland is a full member of the Eurozone, Denmark is the only EU member with an official legal excemption from having to adopt the Euro, and Sweden technically legally has to join the Eurozone some day, but only after meeting a certain set of criteria that the Swedish government is purposefully not meeting in order to not have to join in practice.
    And even if we suddenly all Nordic countries’ stances on international issues magically aligned tomorrow, and we managed to drum up support for creating a Nordic Federation, we still have problematic international presidence that creating a Federal government ruling over our current governments, would likely be treated internationally as if a new country formed, which would mean all the governments under it would suddenly be without EU and NATO memberships, as the Nordic Federation would have to renegotiate their respective memberships as a brand new country.
    Of course, East German unification does give us an interesting precidence. Technically, one of current governments could rewrite their constitution to create a Federal government above their own current one, officially rename their country to ”the Nordic Federation”, and then annex all the other Nordic states (with their consent). At least the country that annexed the others would retain their international agreements, while their new territories would now also be party to that one country’s previous agreements, just like how East German terriotories were automatically protected by NATO after being annexed by West Germany.
    Still, such a unifucation method invests a lot of power and trust in the internal political system of one Nordic country, making it an extra difficult method.
    If we are to ever see a realistic Nordic unification scenario, it’d probably be in a potential future where NATO and the EU are dissolved, and the Nordics realize they have to stick together if they don’t want to be gobbled up by the inflyence of their several bigger neighbours in Russia, Poland, Germany, and the UK. Not to mention other powerful countries with economic interests in the Nordic region, such as France, The US, Canada, and China.
    The only reason independence is feasable right now is that our sovreignty is guaranteed, and our economies are integrated into a larger system.
    Anyways, if there ever was a time where Nordic (re)unification seemed likely, it was definately the post-napoleonic era.

    I actually like the idea of the war system, i find the fronts to be pretty cool and a nice change of pace from microing stacks in other games. However that nonsense of just invade 1 tile of their capital and get all war goals is pretty dumb, so is the way that if your supplies get raided by 20%, your armies lose 80-100% of their morale. Really makes the game lose its fun just like what happened here, and the game absolutely needs more content to make playing any small nation worth it, it really is just sit around in someones market for 50-70 years and hope you dont die

    Yeah that really is the entire issue with vicoria 3... The war system is trash. If they didn't allow war, it would make a lot more sense, rather than having a system that's completely broken and lead many to just not having a good time because of how little control you can take over the war. There really is not much you can do at all micro wise without a navy. If you have a navy the game is stupid easy because you can naval invade anything without anything stopping you, and there is no balance to it whatsoever, navy is overpowered max level. Without a navy you're at the whim of the thermapolae gods because every battle is thermapolae and if you don't have superior tech, your superior numbers means jack shit. It's honestly just a complete garbage war simulator, but it makes up for it by being somewhat of a decent economic simulator. Other games have balance, Vic 3 just has hopes of being updated
