Not a lot would've happened though, so I doubt it'd have been an interesting LP. The none don't even bother naming their children, why should they care about wars, wealth or religion?

Change Ghent to Gent, which is the correct Dutch spelling. Bit silly to have the Dutch names for Vlaanderen and Antwerpen, but then throw in Ghent.

If Artois is Flemish, it could be called Artesië. But it'd depend on how long it's been part of Flanders.

No, but they have Holland as a vassal so once they annex them they will.

How is Flanders doing with their merchants? They've got a load of rich provinces there and they're only a medium-sized nation, so if they've got good traders going as well they're going to have a large tech lead in a few decades.

That's the fun of EU3. You can be kicked down a dozen times, but it only takes one successful war to utterly crush your current nemesis. Then your borders expand and you will find a new nemesis, continuing the cycle until you face an 'end-boss' super-blob.

Government:
Option A: The administration must expand to meet the needs of the administration.

Option C: In order to house all the administrators, we must build grand administration buildings that will require skilled engineers to keep out the people tormented by the bureaucratic administration.

I dunno about the Holland-Dutch names for colonies, the Netherlands in this LP did form out of Flanders, which has the same language but a different use of words.

On the other hand, Flanders/Belgium never really colonized outside of Belgian Congo, so coming up with names would be pretty hard.

I'm not gonna add a whole set of new colony names for Flemish. If you want to do it, by all means.

Meh, knowing us Flemish/Belgians it'd all just be "Nieuw-Vlaanderen" and "Vlaamsch Amerika".


Phlegmish, there's going to be some divide at least, Flanders was independent for a few centuries and fought/conquered the other Dutch nations. There's even a similar religious divide (although it's not christian/protestant). Anyway, I'm terrible at alt-history and will let you guys get on with the show :)

drat I hope Norway gets inherited. The Netherlands will become the top European player and will most likely beat Sweden to a pulp (or they'll get dogpiled and lose everything).

You're overestimating the value of Norways territories, they're all too far north both in Europe and America and won't produce any good trade goods, unless you really like fish. Espanya, Italy, Burgundy and Great Britain will still be dominating.

Some of the Canadian colonies are fur and the Netherlands should be pretty goddamn rich with their CoT and all those juicy cloth/iron provinces in their homeland. With the Norse provinces they should get a nice manpower and force limit boost.

Also, if anyone wants to reminisce a bit, I was bored and made this easter egg for the scenario with the most prominent/memorable Senators as EU3 rulers.

Honestly we only lacked income because people wanted to do stuff like raise relations with gifts and field an army. If only we'd built more mines in 2-3 gold provinces, we'd have been a lot richer!
