Readers will find a number of references here to our previous discussion of one of Paradox’s other games, Europa Universalis IV, but I think this discussion will be mostly readable without having to rush back and read (or reread) the previous posts; that said much of what we discuss here will, I suspect, be more interesting if one has read the previous entries. This week, we’re going to be looking in particular at how Victoria II treats what is arguably its central game...

Some of you may know that we recently moved. While I absolutely love our new home (see my new home tour), it’s been interesting getting used to my new much-smaller kitchen.
