    CHAPS! You can really help me out if you want to get Victoria 3 or this DLC by using this link: paradoxinteractive.i38e.net/Laith
    Paradox are giving me a small cut for anyone who gets it from here! (same cost for you lmao)

    This update looks so much fun! I guess its time for Economic Imperialism. Would be interesting to see you forming a new custom bloc with Japan, Dutch East Indies or Sokoto (which is my favorite nation to play). For example control the world by trade or something like that 😀
