    One of the things I like when I have vasals/personal unions is to give them each 5 provinces in each region to create maximal amount of colonial nations

      I do this in "co-op" multiplayer with friends where I try to bankroll all of their ridiculous wars. And by "co-op" I mean we spawn Jan Mayen and the Synthetics and try to take them down.

      I just watched your series during the weekend and convinced myself to expand on the concept you developped there. Indeed, Castille can release Leon and Asturias which both have Exploration as historical first pick (so they'll have it unlocked if you release them after you unlock your own ideas) and a colonist in their NIs. If you delay the mana points privilege a little bit to also unlock the Council of the Indies missions, you'll get the additional 2 diplo slots to allow you to have Portugal, Aragon, Asturias and Leon to create colonies for you.
      Then the second improvement would be to create one colony in a given region (for example Santo Domingo in the Caribbean) so that you get the Papal ownership of it. Then you free that CN, and attack it to feed to one of your Iberian bros. In the meantime, you set up another CN in the Caribeean, let's say Cuba. Rince and Repeat in every colonial region.

    im doing quite a fun playthru right now.. if you want to give it a go (assuming you havent already)
    Its this: I made a custom nation... you could use a normal nation, but im not good at the game so i used an 800 point custom nation
    - the concept is this: one of your national ideas is cannot declare war.. you can put it anywhere you like.. at the start mid or end
    or you could just play a normal nation and never declare war... i dont know if this works on normal mode which is what i normally play
    technically speaking i dont remember any nation having ever declared war on me on normal mode unless its a coalition.. ive only been
    declared on in ironm,an mode and very hard mode... so, you put it on either iron man or very hard or both.. i dont like ironman cos i like
    to save scum when necessary. i made a custom nation with lots of fort defence, attrition to enemies, mercenary improvements, like
    more discipline, less cost for buying mercs, less cost for mercenary upkeep etc.. then i went first two ideas, defensive and mercenary
    cos i removed the cant pick two of the same type in a row in the options.. then i went infrastructure.. anyway.. i started in tibet region,
    and conquered most of the tibet region & formed tibet and took out all the small nations etc so i had a slightly bigger than current tibet area
    and built tons of forts, taking everything i can to lower fort cost etc (i have positive income with tons of forts active) - now heres the strategy
    when you get to tech 10, youre no longer allowed to declare war (or earlier if you wish).. and what you do is you get rid of all your armies
    and wait for someone to declare war on you.. its kinda fun seeing where you expand, by allowing the ai to decide for you.. you can keep some
    armies if you want it all depends on the strength of the people bordering you and who you want to declare war on you.. for example, i had
    a 6 province afghanistan declare war on me with 11k troops and i had 0, but i had like 30 provinces myself.. the ai thinks you are weak
    cos you have no army.. but you have a great economy cos ur not paying for armies all the time.. i just spawn a 20k stack of mercs and
    win the war.. the problem ive had is it takes longer to get war score cos u cant split ur armies to take single provinces, and mercs often
    dont have cannon, so its harder to siege down forts, and they often have worse generals.. i used my mercs to finish off any rebels after the war
    and then disband and wait for the next person to declare on you.. and if ur having too many declare on you, you just keep the mercs active
    for longer to give you time to prepare.. its a fun way to play the game.. the other problem ive had is i actually get a lot of ae.. i was expecting
    id get less ae from taking land in a defensive war? i feel like the devs should fix this.. if you are invaded you should take less ae.. i actually
    got coalitioned and a huge war but won with a ton of mercs... thats another thing that annoys me.. they declare on me, but i can only peace
    out the main guy? so i wasted tons of money and time doing a war and they lose hardly anything.. i dont get coalitioned much normally cos
    i always make sure i have tons of allies & vassals and a large army.. so i rarely fight coalition wars so id forgotten that you cant peace them
    out individually.. id done a long war where id taken literally every province. anyway would be cool to see someone try this way to play the game
