SEALION'S LAW, TAKE COVER!

Alright, the way to do this seems like one power has to win, then die, and repeat.
Britain could "win" first, beating America, before absolutely falling apart in a "Super American Revolution".
"Super America" would just fall apart into a bunch of little states and stop existing.
In the meantime, France is completely torn apart by the Revolution, having it even spread to London and nearly crush their politics as well. Then it goes to Spain.
With centralization not doing too well, the Confederation and Austria decide to remain a Confederation.
Forevar. Somewhere along the lines Japan and China don't modernize due to very little interference.
How about Russia...?
And I think China will still modernize, sooner or later, with or without outside interference...
