Raised 2 armies of 50k men each--one in Japan and the other in Burma--then started a 1-year naval build-up only to be interrupted 100 days into it by a war summons, bc my ally Commonwealth decided to attack Scandinavia
Picked up a few more vassals, cut Tarascan loose for piracy (hoping my colony in Mexico will deal w them eventually), and once Scandinavia and Commonwealth are done fighting I'll see if Scandinavia wants to pay tribute too.
