except in like 2 years I'll have to kill a secession here because I literally do not understand how to prevent secessions, at all, ever, they just happen inevitably no matter what until I crush them
that is not where portugal belongs 
my first thought for a title was "now i'd like to take a moment, just sit right there, I'll tell you all about how Portugal got here" but I decided it wasn't funny enough
my portugal is all over the place, taking south africa r/n, the East India company helped me take Mysore, I'm bangin
Broke: colonizing China
Woke: taking back Olivença, creating Portugaliza, and freeing the Basque and Catalans in the process.
nice!
also obligatory 
to portugal
thx, it's going even better now, I savescummed to the start of the war because the AI does wonky shit, like sometimes Britain will ask to join in for a treaty port in China, sometimes they demand one of my states (no thanks). If they ask to join in I can get war reps and these 3 states, but not if I have to ask daddy britain for help myself :/
but anyway, I got those war reps baby, my economy is juiced
oh good job. gotta love janky world strategy game AI lol
(also i edited my first comment)
It's getting better, at least. Immediately after they patched it to 1.7.2 they basically fucked the AI like how Gandhi was in the original Civ with aggression to max but they fixed that lol
lmao
At first, I was shocked to see you have only 12 construction. Then I realized it's only 1840. Saul Goodman. I have a bit over 10 days in which my workload should be pretty relaxed. I'm gonna try and see if I can get a full game of Vicky 3 done in that timeframe. On the other hand, I have too many other strategy games I want to play. Stellaris and Distant Worlds 2 are just two of them. I also wanted to give Master of Magic 2022 another serious try. Too many games, too little time. We really should abolish capitalism so I can fully focus my time on writing strategy game reviews for the proletariat.
Please continue your posts, I follow your campaign with great interest.
Did that all just start from Macau?
I took the province to the east of Macau and the other two all in one war, with war reps from Qing too, thanks to Britain's army fuckin' them up
I would have just taken Guangdong but I'm not sure if doing that ends Macau's effect as a treaty port (no bureaucracy cost, tariff free trade routes, also I don't think they can embargo me because they fucking HATE me but are gobbling up all the opium and oil on the british market that I can sell to them)
