    In this video titled EU4 A to Z - Can I DEFEND MYSELF Against ALL Of EUROPE I do a playthrough as Geneva Europa Universalis 4 1.33 France. This is the series titled A to Z where I attempt to play every* nation in EU4 in alphabetical order. Of course I had to remove some nations so the challenge doesn't get too boring. In this video I play as the nation of Geneva , and I attempt to conquer all of Switzerland, fortify as much as possible and declare on all of Europe. So let's see if I managed to do it! I hope you guys enjoy this series. If you enjoyed this video consider leaving a like and subscribing for more content in the future.

      Georgia was named after Saint George (although the Georgians don’t call their country Georgia) who was born in the town of Cappadocia. So I propose that to complete the challenge you should own the province containing Cappadocia. It’s not far away but if I’m not mistaken it’s owned by the ottomans at the start of the game.
      I believe it’s the province of Sivas

    I did a Geneva game before. They can get John Calvin as a leader changing the country to a unique Swiss Canton theocracy.
    While the +1 free policy is nice, you can swap to the theocracy reform that gives you -20% fort maintenance.

    Switzerland can be very fun in the game. I realised that you can actually play a very nice way of tall, allthough they aren't optimised for that. But by gaining the Diplo Rep and staying catholic can really be a great way to secure many big allies and become a very influental nation. I wouldn't recommend to play wide though. Did a Switzerlake Achivement series on my channel (Still need to edit the final part) and I won't do it again. Switzerlake is made for staying small and as a swiss myelf, it just feels wrong to see a big and wide Switzerland 😅

    If someone wants to try out silly fort defense meme-strats then try out Albania.
    They have +20% Fort Defense as tradition, with Defensive taken as first idea group (another +20%) and running a defensive edict (+33%) in your capital state which is in mountains (+25%) and if possible fort defense advisor (+20% Fort Defense) you have you have whopping +118% Fort Defense in your capital and not that far in your game. Build a level 3 fort there and watch as it takes ages for enemies to get one siege tick to go through.
    Later on you can buff this up to even more ridiculous numbers with ramparts and some policies and if you can manage by converting to Coptic (+10% Fort Defense)
    I'd also recommend vassalising Serbia as one province minor in Smederevo (if memory serves) as it's woods province with river crossing and of course turning it into march and with Montenegro released from Zeta (also turning it into march) as it's capital will be in mountains and Montenegro has +1 Attrition and +15% Fort Defense as traditions.

      Just like with bananas and banana flavouring, it's not that strawberry flavor doesn't taste like strawberries, just not like our strawberries. The flavour's chemical make up hasn't really changed since it was synthesized, but strawberries have (Genetic modification, strawberry types going extinct, etc)
      If you find some wild strawberries, their flavour should actually be closer to strawberry flavouring than the ones you buy in store, but it's more than likely that, like is the case with bananas, the fruit the flavouring was based on has gone extinct in the last few decades, more likely than not because of a disease inherent in strawberries
