 * Colonies are dependent on their owner for supplies and weaponry. (Aragon)
 * Vassals are more independent in their own way, and are not dependent on their host nation. (Russia)
 * Allies are much more prone to rebellion, but they have control over their supplies and (Scandinavia)
 * Advantages and Disadvantages
 * Russia specialises in manpower. They can summon a trained army at will quite easily. They are also quite defended against rebels. However, they lack naval fire-power, and it takes a while for reinforcements to arrive at Russia's various overseas allies, colonies, and vassals.
 * Aragon specialises in naval superiority. They can beat most enemies even if they are outnumbered. They also apply the same technology to ground troops, making them quite lethal. They are also well defended from rebels. However, they struggle to find the manpower to co-ordinate their attacks often, which is why more than 70% of their combined armed and naval forces are not European.
 * Scandinavia is much weaker than the other 2 sides, but makes it up with allies. However, they are very prone to rebels and rebellions, especially when they are supported by the other sides.
 * Recommended nations:
 * Canada
 * USA
 * Cascadia
 * Angevine Empire
 * Germany
 * Poland-Lithuania
 * Austrian Empire
 * Brazil
 * Argentina
 * Peru
 * Australia
 * Indonesia
 * Russian South Africa
 * Certain countries are more powerful than others. See this map for more.

Background
It is set in 1870. There are 3 sides: Scandinavia, Aragon, and Russia. Your goal is to become the supreme side on the planet.

The Muscovite Empire of Russia
The Muscovite Empire of Russia, or the Russian Empire, was formed in 1710 after the defeat of Ming and the rise of the Romanov dynasty. It was already at close relations with the nearby empires of Germany and Angevine, the former being the grand successor the the Holy Roman Empire, and the latter being an Empire that has existed for over 500 years. Between 1710 and 1740, the Russian Empire and the Union of Poland and Lithuania, or the Polish-Lithuanian Union, grew very close. In 1724, the Hapsburg Empire of Austria (Austrian Empire) declared war on the PLU, in which Russia had intervened. Not only did Russia want to defend the PLU, but Russia was also wary of Austria's control over the Balkans. The war was won by the Russians, and the PLU gained Galacia, while Russia gained control over the Romanian territories (Wallachia and Moldavia). This war inevitably lead to the Austrian-Aragonese pact of defence, which would lead to the Thirty Years War. This was a religious war focused mainly on the spread of Protestantism. It was won by the Protestant side, and Austria and Aragon had to convert to Protestantism. This meant both Aragon and Austria went into mass chaos, with rebellions all over the Italian peninsula. The Ottoman Empire had also gotten itself into this war. However, the Russian-Ottoman war went on for much longer, and ended in 1790 - 50 years after it started. It ended with every Ottoman general surrendering and then being executed in front of a large crowd in Constantinople. Russia split up the Ottoman Empire, all states being under control of the Romanovs. This also created a path for the other Europeans to expand into Africa, which lead to the Scramble for Africa from 1800 - 1820. Russia did not participate in this quite as much as they were happy with the portions of Africa that they had already taken, and were not keen on another war just after the Ottoman one. They did however assassinate the PLU and Brazilian leaders, taking over their countries entirely and establishing puppet states (Brazil was not considered to be a colony). There were now very large tensions between Scandinavia, Russia, and Aragon.
