Turn the government in a Theocratic Etno-state, and "export" the TRUE religion worldwide 😇. 😂😂😂

3 minutes in and you're already fantasizing about creating your very own 'third deparment'. Very Metternichpilled of you, I see this is going to be a *proper* Austria run.

My Vicky 3 play through thanks you for this!

its funny to see someone your age play vic3 keep up your content mr👍🏻

So canonicly that would make the player "E" the protagonist or the strong father figure?

ur voice is soothing and this helps a lot, thanks!

You are having way too much fun with this Kafka "A"-Hungarian Empire run, and I'm here for it!

Ah yes the city of «V» in the state of «A», famous for composers like «W.A.M.» and psychoanalyst «S.F.»

Can't you continue the Brazilian run?

Can’t wait to see what shenanigans this turns into…😈😈😆

We are going to "industrialize"🤣🤣🤣 Great!

has anyone ever said you look like Steven Spielberg?

Cursed Catalonia with Albacete going independent with them for no reason while Aragon and Baleares chill. 😂

4:00 "The Great Fabric Ponzi Scheme" lmao. Thanks for keeping us updated on the mod list🙏

MP game when? Minor nation game when? Anbennar Bitbucket mod when?

Oh nice another no clouds mod. I also use three music mods Anno 1800 OST, Civ 4 Industrial Music, and Victoria 2 Songs of the Civil war which I would recommend.🌄🥁

Brazil and Prussia are my two fav nations to play

Happy turkey day, and thanks for the downloadable mod list! With 1.8.3 and this, I've got my winter weekend plans sorted.

In this version 1.8, Brazil yet lost Monarch if you not complete " Nobre Monarca " ?

Your discord server invite is not working.

Thanks for making this, and perfect timing too since I'm looking forward to enjoy some Vicky 3 for the weekend

Wow! back to back video to update us all, that's it I'm subscribed

"Brazil has a low amount of population" you'd die if you played Argentina

HELL YEAH, thank you so much economist, one thing I always try to do is to compete with the USA. Now with your help I can probably be even better as brasil!

dont play even play viccy 3 but stil watched the whole thing

It would be interesting to see you do a Japan run and how you would move away from the shogunate and turn Japan into a World Power

I know its a little bit late now and a bit cheesy, but if you bankroll Austria after a unification play and get relations up they will literally support you fully integrating them with no war!

Silly secession blocker mod is a must. Those secessions looping and looping, the angry people yelling over and over again almost made me go insane. I can arrange a good mod list and the order aswell, I love these videos, thank you! edit: 1.8.3 is out, I would guess that only 2 of your mod list are no longer viable, them being: Silly Secession Blocker and Silly Migration Blocker. Would you agree with me?

Is this also applicable to the Netherlands?

could you make a series on EIC with its new updates? I find it so hard to keep it together and not become the Raj and keep the plebs happy. Perhaps utilitarianism in a chartered company is not feasabile. Something to explore maybe??

As soon as your initial wars end, declare a diplomatic play against Britain for the Guyanas. They will demand ban slavery instead. Back down and you'll ban slavery, plus gain an event where you get 80 relations with the Brits for ending transatlantic slave trade, making the diplomatic hit of the play actually positive. This makes liberalizing and industrializing early way easier!

Not sure if it would be one you'd enjoy but it would be interesting to see you try to hold together, and then reform and liberalize the East India Company!

if you complete the monarchism journal and the emperor dies, you get one of the best governors to enact multiculturalism and woman suffrage.

Very nice. I was playing with Brasil yesterday while trying to get the Estado Novo achievement. It's difficult, but rewarding.

Dude I just love your Prussia runs, I wouldn’t complain at all 😆. Also a great subversion would be to play Austria and unite Germany, to be make it more realistic maybe you could (once you unite Germany) vassalise Galicia for Poland and maybe Ukraine, Transylvania for Romania, south Slavs (except Slovenia) for the kingdom of Illyria. In this way, in terms of rp, you add these countries into your market/sphere of influence without having to destroy the integrity of German unification, just a little idea 😁. Happy thanksgiving 😉

Did Central America stay together? With that and the US getting all of Oregon, it's quite the blessed Americas run. Looking forward to learning some tips and tricks from you in 1.8.

Can you make a collection and put it in the description so other people like myself could download it :)

Thank you, there are many that I didn't know I needed before!

TH-cam must read my mind. I've been playing Victoria 3 a lot recently and currently study economics, and one day thought about how interesting it'd be to see an economist play this and give his thoughts. And here we are now, this being suggested to me!

This year, I'm thankful for An Economist Plays' 1.8.2 Mod List.

Have you checked Ludis Balanced history mod ? Would that be something to add to the mod list?

Hmm..looks like i might have to get some mods in :) Im still lerning this game so i still a n00b in some areas, my main problem is getting the start*ing economy going playing "Dennark" not many out there wanna play that and the few vids out there is kinda outdated. I know denmark is hard to get going because i lack alot of resources, but thats the challenge, but not many seems to wanna do it, i try my best, but like i said theres still alot of mechanics i dont really understand yet, so i make many mistakes etc.

God I love your videos, my only note as someone more from a history background (I'm sure you know most of this but for people who are interested in British history here is some fun elaboration)- Scotland was actually a massive prospering hub of both industrial and trade boons during the Victorian Era. The country turned from a rural backwater to becoming colloquially known as the workshop of the British Empire (something the game very sorely failures to model imo). This is a big reason why Scotland eventually become a mainstay as a consistent liberalising force in British politics from the extremely large urban proletariat and trade union movements that developed there. The more urban and centralised Scottish peoples were rather insulated to the sorts of discrimination other ethnic groups in the Empire faced but the Scottish Highlanders were the ones who got massively shafted and faced constant discriminsation and demonisation even from the rest of Scotland, they became a core driving force of mass emigration from Scotland to Australia, New Zealand and America. There was of course still a hand on the scale that Westminster and the English by large still had final say over the entire empire but it was definitely a much more amicable relationship between the Scottish and English than for the Irish and English. It's why Scottish independence wasn't really considered a real populist movement until the mid 20th century. For a lot of Scotland the imperialist globe spanning British Empire was just as much an economic boon for them as it was for the English.

Have you checked out the Victorian Flavor Mod? I never played a full playthrough of a game with it because I prefer vanilla usually but I think it's very cool.

Economist, I dont want to appear as offensive or annoying but could you pls make a Brazil series or make it in the future?

Jeez why is the The Great Revision Series: Production & Trade putting the base construction at 50 from 10 lmao that's crazy

Time to go mod shopping! Agree on the journal entries being used to 'guide' the AI, hopefully that's something Paradox is looking into... after warfare, diplomacy, and a few other things. My only disagreement is on using the 'upgrade all' mod. The way I see it, since a torpedo boat or a modern battleship take the same amount of time to build in the construction queue, I'm not building the ships, but housing for the crew. Therefore, there is no issue just hitting a button to 'upgrade' the housing. The actual ship goods (hull, guns etc) will get consumed by the unit and not the building, so I say go nuts with that upgrade button!

Just came across your channel, only to find out that my mod has a spot on your playlist! I am glad to encounter a fellow political map enjoyer, and I appreciate the inclusion!

Thanks for the shout-out! Just Omani Kenya is a simple mod that I created back in July because OPB's VTM wasn't updated to the latest patch. The border change makes so much sense that idk why Paradox hasn't done it themselves lol.

Do you mind posting what mods you're using?
