EU4 but I deleted ALL 100+ Dev Nations

In today's Europa Universalis IV (EU4) video we will be deleting ALL nations in the world with at least 100 development and allowing the other remaining nations to fill the gap with colonial buffs. With a much more even playing field we should expect some interesting borders to result from this and the chaos that is likely to unfold because of it!

Could you rerun the same experiment but without the colonisation mod? I would be really intrested in seing how the default untampered AI would act in a world where there is mostly uncolonised land around them, which tags would go for expansion ideas, would all of them? How big would they get by the end of the game? Would all nations go for expansion as their first idea? Could a nation which didn't colonise still succeed by fighting ones that did? All intresting questions, that you can do with the same map setup as this one, just re run the same starting position without the mod
