King of Denmark, in Personal Union with Norway, Sweeden, and England, with vassals of Finland, Scotland and a unified Ireland under Munster. Exist as a peaceful nation with strong diplomatic ties, exerting military force normally only to maintain status quo or to prevent any agressive actions in northern or central Europe. Suddenly, I Inherit all of Scandanavia and England, prompting me to Diplo-annex Finland and Scotland, and form Scandanavian Empire, just in time for my second National Idea which naturally is "Quest for the New World". I leave the Hansiatic trade network and build my own centre of trade in darkest Finland, to ensure everyone will pay the sound toll, nice and safe behind my Baltic fleet of galleys. I use my leadership of the HRE and diplomatic contacts to dissolve it once and for all, sparking multiple wars in central Europe as people start squabbling over land. Standing astride northern Europe like a behemoth, my settlers stream over the north Atlantic to Greenland and Canada, slowly making our way down the coast to New England, peacefully assimilating the natives as we go. I am expecting to run into Portugal or Castille once I get near Florida, but as of yet there is no sign of them. I might make it all the way to Mexico unopposed before running into the Aztec, who probably wont put up much of a fight before I repeat the process through south america and the Inca. Heack, if nothing else all of North America is mine, along with northern Europe.
EUIII. Never before have I had so many plans all come together at one short stunning moment.
