Late Game Wars for Resources in Victoria 3: A Germany Let's Play with An Economist Plays

About to lay back and donate plasma while watching one of my favorite Victoria 3 KZbinrs. :)

I just want to point out that just because Germany has a public education system doesn’t make it any less conservative or autocratic. Education systems are ideological constructs in of themselves and I can imagine a curriculum geared towards creating the ideal German citizen-subject that also gets Germany the technical basis on which to compete with and dominate the other great powers

[@An_Economist_Plays]

But the idea of education for *all* is something of a liberal notion, when compared to offerings and expectations under serfdom.

[@abdulpadela4738]

@@An_Economist_Plays True, but nationalism was once a liberal idea and is now considered a thoroughly conservative one. Liberal and conservative are not fixed poles but change in relation to society. I think it’s more useful to think of them as mindsets then necessarily tied to any specific policies - conservatism is about protecting hierarchy while liberalism values individual freedoms

[@ronysummer637]

The presence of a public education system in Germany does not inherently absolve the country of conservative or autocratic tendencies. Education, as an ideological tool, can be shaped to serve the interests of the state, and in this case, it is conceivable that the German curriculum is designed to foster a sense of national pride and superiority, while also providing the technical skills needed to assert its power on the global stage. This strategy ensures a steady supply of citizens who are both ideologically aligned with the state's vision and technically proficient, making Germany a formidable force in international relations.

It's good that KZbin offered me another of your series. And even though you have committed such an obscenity with my country. I'll probably squeeze the bell so I don't miss the sequel.

[@majorfluff8389]

That hungarian enclave within your borders drives me nuts :D. Great playthrough!

[@An_Economist_Plays]

I should have held on to it and then transferred it to "Austria" after making it a dominion... ah well, regrets!

[@ExpedientFalcon]

Ukraine has a huge portion of Russia's population, so they're always an excellent target to "liberate" if you want to cripple the motherland. Excellent strategy.

[@An_Economist_Plays]

Yes, which is why it's good to have an interest there if one is hostile with Russia!

You should go for China like the Europeans did in real-life. They have more coal, more grain, more gold, and more resources overall than any other country You can also go for Africa and maybe industrialize it since they have so many resources
