Of course I formed the Roman Empire in this run again, but it's not the primary objective.
The main challenge of this speedrun is going to war fast, keeping justification times low
and to never stop the aggression before the world map is fully monochrome.

The original script for this video was over 13000 words long and a lot of little snippets
were edited out in the end. If there's info missing or if you have questions in general,
don't hesitate to ask in the comments. I'll collect the most frequent ones here:

Q: Does this work in v1.14?
Yes, even with the Trials of Allegance DLC. But with ToA active,
you need to account for the slightly different behaviour of the American Monroe Doctrine.
In fact, you get more countries for free since Brazil joins the Allies faction if world
tension is high enough and they're threatened by hostile borders.

Q: Should I try this myself?
No. Well. If you want to, feel free, but I wouldn't advise to follow every single step.
You can replicate most of it if you understand the strategies and mechanics at play and
adapt it to your personal campaign, but even slight deviations from my run will
inevitably create differences.

Q: What nation is next?
Don't know yet. I rarely do. But I aim to do runs with all major nations. I've covered
Germany and Italy a lot - France, Japan, Soviets and the United Kingdom once. Never did a
run with the United States. Maybe that'll change with the new Monroe Doctrine. We'll see!
