Ottoman Empire

-We will just sanction the Netherlands instead. As replacements, we invade the Diuchy of Lucca, the Kingdom of the Two Siciles, and Sardinia. We easily knock out Lucca and Modena because of their small size, and begin invading Sardinia and the Two Siciles. We will call this Operation "Mama Mia!" (Get the reference?)

-We start a siege of Riyadh, and capture the Persian Gulf coast of Arabia

-We are still recovering from the Helike Earthquake

-To combat the Catholic-Orthodox clash in Aleppo, we send down troops, and they yell out: "Cut it out, or get shot!" Wait hold up you can't sanction a country on the other side of Europe. This isn't the modern era. Also it would be impossible for you to have exported goods to the Netherlands for the reasons I mentioned before. You're too far away from the Netherlands for you to have impact on their trade. Also, Lucca is on the other side of the Italian peninsula meaning that you won't be able to take that land. Same deal with Sardinia, meaning those 2 are off the list. I would also like to mention that at this period, Italian nationalism is at an all time high so you might not want to invade the Italian peninsula otherwise this could cause problems for you... Whoops, forgot that sanctions didn’t exist back then. Sorry about that. Just because Lucca and Sardinia are on the other side, doesn’t mean I have a navy. Therefore, you must take back that part of what you said because you can’t be assuming things. It’s the Mediterranean after all, anyone can just sail around to get where they need to. Italian nationalism though may be a problem also you're not going to be able to manage these areas since they're far away from you and as I mentioned earlier, Italian nationalism is growing and you might not wanna interfere with that since it will cost you a war that will not be in your favour. not to mention you might get dogpiled as every European power comes in to stop you I mean, to be fair, he already has enough territory in the Balkans and the middle east. At this point, if he really wants to expand to Italy, that's just greed on behalf of him. yeah don’t worry, belarusball turns out to be the most expansionist in all games, can turn a small country into a doninant colonial power Yeah, and whenever I try to do that I get a whole coalition against me.
