Haii, I’ve taken time this pride month to do a funny little Victoria 3 challenge: form the Inca nation Tawantinsuyu and become a beacon of progressive democratic rule :3
Here are some explanation & screenshots of how my run through the Victorian century (1836 - 1936) went (Disclaimer: this was my first full game and my experience with Vic3 is low):
I started as Bolivia and chose to use the first ten years to build up a bit of an industry and befriend Peru before eventually becoming the Peru-Bolivian federation. Then I released Tawantinsuyu. I could have gone the other way and started as a small Bolivian puppet and formed Tawantinsuyu myself by breaking free and then going to war several times but I found releasing it as Peru-Bolivia was way easier than forming it myself. I now chose to continue as Tawantinsuyu and allowed Bolivia to be my overlord for some time so we’d share a market.
I eventually broke free from the chains and started to eat up Bolivia when it was in a civil war, I also got Ecuador and Peru in my market. That’s when my economy started going stonks and I finally could focus on reforms. I had presidential republic but with state religion and let’s just say the church was a pain in the ass. Somehow I managed to break the church’s dominance and liberalised under the Intelligentsia, Rural Folk and Industrialists using my rapid industrialisation to feed the Trade Unions. I wanted to move towards council republic with universal suffrage and cooperative or state ownership but that would have led to the rainbow flag getting replaced so I switched to a Parliamentary Republic and left Protectionism and Interventionism.
Anyways this is what I ended up with:
Overview
I overtook Brazil at one point gdp wise but they got into my market and their gdp rose sharply but eh
I was the best nation in South America by a mile education wise at one point, the others did catch up tho
My standard of living was #1 in the early 20th century but my focus shifted a bit more towards enacting laws and the other nations caught up
My population exploded and I got mass migration, stonks
They love me :3
Except for the wealthy capitalists
Proud seeing my nation’s name there together with the big boys :3
Politically we got a coalition between the farmers, workers and intellectuals
And here are the current laws, I would have liked to enact Multiculturalism but none of my parties cared because “I’m not discriminating any minorities” so I see this as a absolute win idk. Also colonization, well… That is still there from Bolivia where I just wanted to grab some land before Brazil or Argentina would and then I couldn’t get rid of it any more.
All important facilities for my fellow citizens have been maxed except for healthcare where I did not have the time to do the research in time.
Look we even got public transport :3
And this skyscraper in Lima
Funny little extra:
The Bourgeoisie, Liberals and Socialists formed a party together… Sooo god damn cursed xD
Oh and at one point the Confederate States of America tried to befriend me, that was… Weird.
Anyways thanks for reading! :D
Yes it has one blue stripe too much. Sorry for not making it clear tho. It’s as close as vanilla Vic3 comes to a pride flag tho that’s why I used it and since my run was going well I decided to share it :3
