Victoria 2 North German Federation
Click to expand.I don't plan to play this file again because of the beta patch. SA is in my Sphere of Influence, so unless I attempt to trash our relations I can't turn them into puppets or conquer them.I don't remember exactly what happened during the game, so here is a short description of the world as you can see it now: The North German Federation has unified and it conquered the Jutland peninsula. Austria-Hungary has unified. Italy has unified, but Rome is still under the power of the Papal States. Iceland is independent and owns Greenland. Cuba is independent. Mexico is a stump, its northern territories down to Mexico City were conquered by the US.
Japan is modernized and a Great Power. Alaska still belongs to Russia.Also, you should really get the game when you can, it's awesome. Click to expand.I recently just finished a France game using the popdemand mod (I think thats what its called?). Didnt take a screen shot though. I had less Africa than you as North Germany and Britain took most of southern africa.
I had Egypt, Sudan, and all of North Africa and most of central and west africa.I was able to play the two german countries against each other pretty well, with both rising and falling in wars against each other, me usually aiding the weaker one to control the power of the other. North German Confederation never became an empire, while Austria-Hungary turned into a republic that I helped prop up. Russia got super fucked up though because they lost a Great War against the NGF and Britain, causing them to lose most of Eastern Europe.As France I was lucky enough that I was able to aquire all of the Guianas, British and the independent nation due to wars and events. I didnt mess around in Asia though, the most I did was satellite Indochina.Overall it was pretty fun, my first time as France. I wanted to take some Spanish land but didnt get to.only got half of Belgium and some north german land.

Empire of Japan (Absolute Monarchy - Liberal Faction) 1893.6.1The Philippines and Spanish Micronesia were an early game grab, pulled into a war with by the UK, my sphere leader at the time. And I guess thanks to them nobody tried to contain me for all that infamy.
I'm actually starting to like Justifying Wars, rather than relying on random CB. I made Egypt a puppet, but a reactionary rebellion took power and they were removed (it made a pretty map, I'll probably try to puppet them again). I colonized Alaska as soon as possible and later justified a CB on Russia and took the rest of it. In the 1880s I joined France and several other large powers in a Great War against the UK and Austria, which is how I got British Columbia and Western Australia (took it for all gold there). I'm so glad they added troop presence to colonizing again, I wouldn't have been able to grab so much without it. Alaska, Yukon, Pogobi, and most Pacific islands are full-fledged states. Brunei, Yemen, Oman, British Columbia and Abu Dhabi are all close to being Japanese majority.
They're not the most populous colonies though-Brunei has 87k total and Abu Dhabi 25k.Oh and here is a funny pic from when I had Egypt as my puppet! (Once I conquered Indochina, the name moved there.). Click to expand.Sometimes it's easier to surround them or sphere them so you take care of them later. Maybe you don't want to take the infamy hit either if you've gained a lot from other wars. They used to have a CB option to conquer them for free, but now you have to justify it.
In the case of Sokoto you can't Establish a Protectorate over the whole nation in one go, it has one too many provinces. So you have to justify demanding a concession of one province, take it, then wait for the treaty to expire before you can justify establishing a protectorate.
