Europa Universalis

Europa Universalis — real-time strategy with management elements. The game takes place on a schematically depicted world map, divided into more than 1,500 sea and land provinces. The duration of the game is from 1492 to 1792. The player can take control of any country that existed during this historical period (about 200 states in total). Under his control are the country's economy, the formation and management of armies and navies, diplomacy, the introduction of new technologies, the internal politics of the state, changing the state religion, the discovery and colonization of new lands.

Diplomatic opportunities are especially broad — any country can enter into and leave alliances with other countries, declare war and make peace, enter into a dynastic marriage between ruling dynasties, make other countries its vassals, sign trade agreements and provide another country with guarantees of independence.
