    A funny experience I had: while playing Germany and destroying France, I nation ruined them to the point where they went into a death spiral of taking loans from MY bank, declaring bankruptcy from the deficit, taking more loans from my bank, somehow still having a large enough deficit to go bankrupt the next day, and making the game unplayable by spamming me with bankruptcy events. I had to edit my save file and turn them into an uncivilized (non westernized) nation to cut them off from the International economic system. 10/10 working as intended
