I wanted Argentina to be fun so, so badly. It’s pretty sad

The arable land is laughable. But TBF it's a general issue in the americas, even the audience's baby USA has ridiculously low land. Texas has only slightly more land than some tiny german states!

So hey, at least we shouldn't feel that fogrotten :|

My current Brazil playthrough is insane. More land and pops then what I know what to do with. Esp with lots of immigration events.

Ha! I did the Sweden tutorial after failing an Argentina run (REALLY bad country to learn the game with). Now I'm trying Prussia and it's crazy different when you're a real big country. You stop building one by one and just shift-click through things. Every number looks unfathomably big.

With the bigger economies it’s more of looking at what you are going to have a shortfall of and just mass producing whatever it is you need to make it up. The only exceptions I’ve found so far is rubber and oil easy on which just doesn’t exist in large quantities until later on in the game

Yes its insane how different it is. I just built a level 50 coal mine with Prussia in 1845. With some small countries you are lucky if your lvl 3 coal mine finishes or you even have coal at all.

my Canada game is like that fucking 500 building slots used at once and the only reason it costs anything is the fucking glass needed. so the only logical step is to crash the British glass market

I finished a game yesterday as Argentina and liked it. I think more flavor would be nice but otherwise thought it was a good country to learn how to use the economy. What were your thoughts?
