Description

With 1.10 paradox has started giving countries starting debts. While the idea is good, their execution is not good. Seriously Prussia has debt, but UK who had one of the worst debts at the time has none? This mod is attempt to make the starting balances for countries historical and more balanced. The idea for this mod was for multiplayer, but it works well in single player as well, the ai handles its starting situations very well.

I did the math to edit the real world debt numbers to victoria 3 numbers, but they were too massive so I multiplied the finals debt numbers by 60%. Also when adding the debts to the Dutch and Belgium the numbers were lowered to not break those 2 countries.

The default gold reserves for every country was also edited from 50% full 20% full.

Unfortunately I had to use chat gpt to help with researching this, I've double checked what I could but if any numbers are wrong and you have a source I will gladly change them.

Should be compatible with everything.

"First off, this is a fascinating mod. However, my feedback is that the mechanics for Great Britain don't seem to fully capture its historical trajectory. Specifically, it struggles to model the rapid industrial and economic expansion of the Victorian period, which was often spurred by leveraging significant national debt."

Without a reasonable in-game system to simulate the interest these countries had to pay, I would advise you to rescale them by the mean interest rate each county was paying. This is why the UK and netherlands had higher debts, their cost of servicing was lower than other countries, which is not reflected in-game, mostly.

the U.S had roughly 30,000 debt in 1836 from multiple sources the highest I seen from one source was 56,000

Thank you, genuinely, I kinda complained about this in my review of Vic3 and I'm happy to see someone made a mod for starting debts.

If you're happy with, I can provide you with Mexico's debt from a reliable source, although not exaclty from 1836, but 1824. This debt was of 6,400,000 british pounds.
