I went ahead and occupied Crete quite effortlessly. Budget is under control I think, research on railroads has begun.

P.S. I can lower national stockpile since i have no factories right?

A series of sea battles of which I won until they built 4 frigates and invaded Athens. I beat the armies and have 3% warscore in my favor (2% required to take Crete) but they are still unwilling to accept... 

Nevermind:

Apparently 90% of my upperhouse is liberal, so i enact healthcare reforms.

A quick recon with our fleet (2 frigates and a transport) shows that the egyptians have 1 measly transport. Commencing the invasion of Crete. I get what you're saying about the romanticism thing, research has been switched to mechanized mining. Changed capitalists (we have 11 in the capital now) to clergy.

Haters gonna hate on Heritage. I for one, like it.

Ok, I waited a month without touching anything (in which we accrued ~800 debt  , although we can pay that off easily I believe). Set our research to Romanticism (should be finished in 1839) and then used our single NF to promote capitalists in our Capital province. I then switched our government to the Reactionary Russian faction. We are an absolute monarchy, but we can reform if we want:


The Two Sicilies sent us an alliance request, which I am inclined to accept:


Also, is it a bad thing that we have 0 aristocrats in the entire country and 85% farmers?
I guess the immediate problem is whether to hold off on reform or not? When should I begin building factories (I usually just let the capitalists build them themselves and then subsidize and upgrade them)?

Pop screen (I can't believe how in favor of Jingoism they are ):

January 1st, 1836
Greece, the birthplace of western civilization, now a decadent backwater. Ottomans to the north are slowly islamifying and assimilating our Greek brethren while Egyptian rats are ransacking our island of Crete. What will we do?

The situation:

Our 3 regions and surroundings (crap image):

If anyone wants to see any images of whatever like treasury or something, give me a heads up. I'll take any general suggestions from where to start (since I'm pretty worried I'll fuck up  )

I can't pray for you, but I can wish you good luck. Try to make sure your son spends time with both you and the mother, I'm not sure how that's really possible from halfway across the country though. My parents got divorced in my late teens so I can't imagine how tough it would be to grow up rarely seeing your own parents.

With Victoria 2, you have to be like, the U.K., and even then it's a hard deal and a big deal when someone says they've done it.

Welcome, Descan, did you sign up so you could post in my thread? 

But anyway, I think world domination may be a little bit out of my reach. Not that we can't try 

Alright, well I was ready and raring to go, but I'll make my decision tomorrow regardless of the amount of votes and hopefully we can begin.
