Diplomacy is a large aspect of the game, as creating alliances vassal states and tributaries, improving opinions and monitoring expansion and coalitions is vital to a player’s survival. The game is a sandbox environment, and while there is no strict rule on winning the game, a loss occurs when the player’s nation is removed or annexed from the map. Players can choose to conquer the world by military might, become a colonial superpower, establish trade dominance, etc. The player does so through their choices as sovereign of their nation, and through the spending of resources available to them: Prestige, Stability, Gold, Manpower, Legitimacy for Monarchies, Republican Tradition for Republics, Devotion for Theocracies, and Monarch Power (Administrative, Diplomatic, Military). The gameplay requires the player to lead a nation by finding a balance of military, diplomacy, and economy. Each of these provinces contribute to their country either positively or negatively, as provinces can both provide resources to a nation and serve as a point of unrest and rebellion. The game itself is an interactive map of Earth divided into the provinces that compose nations. It’s a strategy game where players control a nation from the Late Middle Ages through the Early modern period (1444 to 1821 AD), conducting trade, administration, diplomacy, colonization, and warfare. Europa Universalis IV is a grand strategy video game in the Europa Universalis series, developed by Paradox Development Studio and published by Paradox Interactive.
