That's my problem with this game and why, despite loving the game, I haven't played it as much as I would of liked too... none of the countries seem interesting for me to play. All the countries either start with too much or too little, it seems. I don't want to play the UK and have to manage half the globe from the very start, and I don't want to play Denmark and be destined to do no nothing except die at the german hands.
There are not many moderate powers and the few that exist seem to be primarily on the Axis side - the easy side. Which I don't like to play on. I had fun playing Italy, but it's a cake walk with germany europe at your side. The closest things to moderate powers on the allied side is Canada, South Africa, and Australia - all way out in the middle of nowhere, miles from the action. Doesn't apeal to me.
I had fun playing France, too, but the thing about them is that either you die quick or you live and the war ends early.
The Soviet Union is always fun, of course... but extremely easy unless you handicap yourself.
I've tried Communist China, which has potential if youc an somehow win against Nat. China and still have enough left for Japan. But what the hell's the deal with that event that makes peace between Com. and Nat .China?
I'm thinking that the next two I try will either be Republican Spain or Turkey. I have a hard time imagining Turkey fighting on the same side as the allies for some reason, though. Is it possible for them to become Communist or Fascist?
What are some other fun countries that aren't too strong but have room for growth?

My problem with EU2 is that *everything* is interesting. I sometimes just like to fire up a game, not so much to play as to watch it evolve! Experiment with different priorities, building a vast, peaceful trade empire that's just swimming in money, warmongering, colonizing, financing wars and destruction of others indirectly....fantabulous stuffages!
