IRL traits of the countries

I'll start.

Russia.
Masterful diplomacy. It allows us to grab huge swaths of land in a way that rest of the world doesn't care, or without firing a shot (best examples: Muscovite unification of Russia, Northern War, Acquisition of Poland, Stalin's massive prewar and postwar gains), and having reasonable alliances and policies, reaping rewards.
Terrible succession
We always have a terrible succession, as the qualities of our leader declines all the way up to the crisis.

Poland
Godawful diplomacy.
Poland has a habit of digging up its own grave. Whenever it fights wars, it gains nothing. Whenever it has allies, it's more of a liability than benefit, whenever it grabs a tiniest bit of clay, it pisses off everyone around.

I have no idea

Bump
Not much to say about Ireland.

Italian Republic 1946 (CIV 5)

The Glory of Rome: +40% tourism bonus.

Cradle of the Renaissance: a Great Person of your choice appears at your Capital every time you enter a new era.

First Republic: Unhappiness from Population is halved, -20% gold due to corruption.

Spain:

Civil wars every 20 years since 1833

is this suposed to be a fucking joke?

Germany

Economic warfare.
Our prices are always low and embargoes are impossible. In any given scenario, the German state dominates European trade and potentially even world trade.

Hardline pacifist.
No military self-defense. Even if you're ahead of the world you have to play very nice with one of the big guys, piss them off and invasion is certain.

Jsi líný.

It's what you get, when you have centralized power in a hand of strong ruler

>Poland
>Godawful diplomacy.
>Poland has a habit of digging up its own grave. Whenever it fights wars, it gains nothing. Whenever it has allies, it's more of a liability than benefit, whenever it grabs a tiniest bit of clay, it pisses off everyone around.
It's mostly true, but you should add ultimate power of butthurt that we even after being conquered spawn rebels and is easier mobilized against anyone who acts against Poland

>Masterful diplomacy.
Is still hated by all it's neighbours, even the orthodox ones. Even Turkey isn't hated as much.

Switzerland
>radical neutrals
Cannot declare war

> Even Turkey isn't hated as much.
That's true, I must say.

Germany

Diplomatic Demigod, Terribad internal Politics

Ireland

>Outsourced Taxation

Russian egos are only as big as there Vodka drinking.

USA

Anglo stock holds idealistic, naive worldview since arrival in New World.
All men may receive salvation. Salvation comes by doing things our way.
Individual liberties and human rights. Not just for us. For EVERYONE. And if you don't like liberty we'll force you to like it at gunpoint.
Nation has been in decline for centuries, even as the state has risen to monumental power.
This is maximum expansion. Withdrawal/collapse is next.

...

No respect

England:

"Instinctively the Englishman is no missionary, no conqueror. He prefers the country to the town, and home to foreign parts. He is rather glad and relieved if only natives will remain natives and strangers strangers. Yet outwardly he is most hospitable and accepts almost anybody for the time being; he travels and conquers without a settled design, because he has the instinct of exploration. His adventures are all external; they change him so little that he is not afraid of them. He carries his English weather in is heart wherever he goes, and it becomes a cool spot in the desert, and a steady and sane oracle amongst all the deleriums of mankind. Never since the heroic days of Greece has the world had such a sweet, just, boyish master. It will be a black day for the human race when scientific blackguards, conspirators, churls and fanatics manage to supplant him."

>Serbia

Controlled by foreign intelligence services since 19th century. First Austria Hungary, then France, then Beady Eyed Island People, then joint ownership by Merkel and Putin.

Guided by these powers to be cannon fodder in ww1, speedbump for Hitler's tanks in ww2. When seemingly acting alone it leads to even worse disasters (killing of Obrenovic dynasty, tarriff war with Austria Hungary leading to FF assasination, retreat through Albania).

Currently a poor man's Erdoganland.

>Masterful diplomacy
Its called resources and manpower

It comes and goes, really.

Not even all neighbours. Butthurt belt is just Eastern Europe.

So, fucking huge?
