    In this video titled EU4 - What if Every Trade Node Was a Nation in 1444? we take a look at what would happen if every trade node was a nation in 1444 / what if every trade node was a nation at the start of EU4. In this video I made every trade node in the old world into one single nation, with nations such as Byzantium, England, France, Sweden, Ruthenia being present in their respective trade nodes. As you can probably guess it resulted in some pretty funny shenanigans. Obviously you would expect that the nations with the richest trade nodes would dominate, but did it really turn out that way? This whole run was controlled by the AI only without my interference and it yielded some pretty interesting results to be honest. So, after watching this video you will know what would happen if every trade node was a nation in 1444 in Europa Universalis 4. What is the next "What if" scenario that I should do? Leave a comment below!

      What if all of Europe started at tech 1 with no feudalism in the entire continent. And maybe the other institutions don't spawn in Europe? I'm not sure if this is doable, but if it is it would be cool to see.

    In the east, Jianzhou will dominate since it can directly form Manchu and Japan is it's only strong neighbor

    It's pretty simple how the Mamlukes got their PU's... they got the same dynasty (through an event) and then the Christian ruler died without an heir. In the case of Aq (if it's true) Aq probably flipped Coptic or Orthodox. IRL I believe you'd have to follow the lineage back to prove they're the closest living heir and then you'd have to contend with the unrest caused by Catholics being ruled by a Muslim. So I think +25% liberty desire would be reasonable if it isn't already a thing.

    Southeast Asia is just too Stable when the Chola dynasty, the Majapahit, and the Srivijaya dynasty didn't butt heads quite often.
