I recently acquired Europa Universalis III and realy enjoy it. My first 2 games I played with the Dutch (hardly surprising), trying to learn the game. My challenge is to recreate the game I played, or better the end result. The POD is 1579.

In 1800 the Netherlands should control all of the Netherlands, all of the Southern Netherlands (with the exceptions of Artois and Luxembourg), Liege, north-western Germany including Trier, Nassau, Westphalia, Bremen, Cologne, Berg, Mark, Cleve, Julich, Munster, Osnabruck, Oldenburg and East-Frisia.
The Netherlands should have the following colonies:
All of Guyana (including British and French), the Maluku islands in Indonesia, South Africa, Taiwan, Tasmania, Antigua, Barbados, St Lucia, Guadeloupe and the Bahamas and (what is now) the USA up to the Mississippi (with the exceptions of southern Florida, New Jersey, New york and New England).
You get bonus points of you manage to get Scotland (whose throne I inherrited in the game) and Switserland (which I got more or less by accident in a peace treaty) in the Dutch sphere of Influence.
Two other things: the Netherlands should be a monarchy and (for the most part) protestant.

I will not include the rest of the worls in this challenge, because some very weird things happened: Germany has basicly been split between the Netherlands, Austria and France. Denmark has been conquered by sweden and (most amusingly) England dissolved and Wales and an uber Cornwall (which included most of southern England) became independend.
