In reality, it is a challenge. The whole world... there is a lot here. The medieval claims it had in France would be a good start. If it had control of a good chunk of Europe, this would alarm Spain, (Castile and Aragon) and they would pay much more attention to the continent, LEt portugal grow quietly, and colonize earlier. You'd have to work in early an English/Portugal union, shortly if you want the colonies to follow more fluidly into the sphere. There's a start I figure, the rest of the continent is kinda fragmented, and such.
I wasn't trolling, I was being sarcastic, as in being funny, did I offend you? If so, I am sorry.
But to be a dick

, yes, I believe the french killed jesus, I have a Quebec flag with an X over my heart. I believe the french killed the Savior, as much as I believe Miss Teen SC, in that Americans need to send maps to South Africa, to help with the fact, that more and more Americans can't find their country on a map.
