>>43217The new update is cracked, through treaties, investments, obligations you can buy your way to be the economic investor and hegemon without expanding, making actually viable tall playthroughs btw. Here is a calculation
National GDP: 19.6 mi
Actual GDP: 11.8 mi
FGDP: Foreign GDP
FINV: Foreign Investment
Totalized Ownership: AGDP (NGDP-FINV) + FGDP = 11.8mi + 106.8mi = 118.6 million
This means that swiss investors or capitalists own the equivalent of 118.6 million of global GDP, add it with swiss companies being the third or fourth best global competitors, owning buildings everywhere in the world. all that while annexing nothing, surpassing the french and british economies without foreign investments, and clapping the rest of economies despite being a small country! Victoria 3 has legit one of the best economic simulations
