Haha...well that's what I just did actually.  The French don't exist...they rebel a few times but they lose as normal.  I have 36 regions under my control and clamour for reform is killing me...i have like 5 techs that still need to be researched then my 6 or 7 universities are behind destroyed...no education for Mother Russia!!!

Funny how Spain watched me destroy France while I remained friendly with Spain haha

I don't upgrade the school buildings. That really cuts down on clamor for reform. Some techs have it, but if you look at the building upgrades themselves they have a big penalty for it.

Yeah I destroyed a few schools...and haven't upgraded some...but i did need to upgrade 1 to get the last few techs...I don't get why schools cause clamour for reform....wouldn't the lower classes want to be educated....

I just wiped out the Dutch and I've taken London but Scotland/Ireland still stand and their colonies...England will go down soon!!!!!!!! I think one more region and I have my 40 regions...but who said that was where I stop...

England kinda scares me in my game. They were left alone and have a pretty huge navy and untouched armies. But I'm still conquering the mainland (Spain went down last night, France's turn in a few.. uh, turns) to worry about them. Allied with them since the beginning!

Also have to take out 2 of my minor allies with one region each that are sitting now in the middle of my territory.. the map looks prettier when it's all one color, after all.

Don't worry about their navy. All you need to do is ferry your troops across the channel before you declare war. The same turn you declare, drop em all off on the shore. Nothin their navy can do about it.

I know. But I love the navy battles :D There's no way I'd skip out on them!

Haha...see England was Indifferent towards me then so I landed two full armies to attack London...easy.  Then I massed 3 full armies to kill Scotland and Ireland.  The US is now in existence and it is not powerful.  The East Coast will be mine!!!!!

Ceylon is also under a rebel faction's control since the Dutch were wiped out...I have a navy fleet and a transport fleet going around Africa now ;)
