    This may seem a weird comment, but I've noticed a trend among other map-staring channels I enjoy and I want to go ahead and say, I enjoy your channel just the way it is and specifically *without* a facecam. There's a lot happening on screen in a game like Vicky 3, and your current style of narration and focus based editing is, in my opinion, already an ideal format for this style of game!

    Isn't the reputation of "graveyard of empires" wildly overstated? Iirc England invaded twice, failing the first time and winning the second time but still being a true empire for quite some time. And the Soviets would've fallen apart maybe a little slower if they hadn't invaded but they were beyond broke at the time either way.

    Big mistake. You should have passed debt slavery.
    Debt slavery makes it so pops below a certain wealth threshold permanently become slaves, up to a maximum of 20% of the population of a given state.
    If you put a tax on grain, and up taxes to max you can enslave 20% of your population in less than a year. Then, super cheap labor forever!
