I remember when I used to play this game a lot I started a campaign as France. By 1878 I had conquered France, Italy, Switzerland, northern Spain, all of Denmark except Zeeland (they remained a French puppet), all of modern Germany, parts of modern Poland, all of Austria except Osterreich, Cyprus, Crete, southern Sweden and Norway, Malta, Venezuela, Panama, the entirety of Eygpt, the Arabian peninsula, almost all of Turkey, the entire Middle East, Persia, Serbia, Bosnia, Corsica, Sardinia, Albania, Greece, all of Indochina (Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia), Siam, Burma, Indonesia, Korea, Mongolia, all of eastern and southern China, Tibet, Nepal, Madagascar, French Guayana, Central America, Iceland, Greenland, and all of Africa excluding Botswana, South Africa, and the small provinces on the western coast. Had several world wars against Britain and her coalition (including Austria, Prussia, Spain, and Ottoman Empire) several times, and every once in a while two to three million rebels would rise up in every province in French Europe. Great game that was.
