    i started off w Chile, very easy country to learn the game. amerika is also crazy easy and you can do a lot more since ur a great power from the start

      can you do u.s. run without fucking up the indigenous territories? can i basically destabilize the u.s. to go socialist or should i just try to build it up and RP a slightly less fucked historical progression?

      eventually i will probalbly suck it up and just be a shitty country doing shitty things to learn mechanics

        At game start most of the indigenous territories are already fucked and you have a small Indian Territories vassal in Oklahoma. If you don't decide to settle what little indigenous land is left, The Hudson Bay Company and Mexico will probably do it.

        Yes, though you may not get things to play out exactly as you'd like.

        IIRC, you can prevent the completion of the Indian Removal Act by cheesing the abolition of slavery and enactment of multiculturalism within five years, but I wouldn't recommend that on a learning playthrough. I suppose, when it's time for the Civil War, you can try to go full Radical Reconstruction to lessen the shittiness.

        sorry i missed this, ive been using hexbear on mobile lately. you can choose to stop colonizing when you have the "no colonial affairs" law. but the Indian Removal Act is an event that cant be prevented unless you use the strat suggested by RamrodBaguette. from day 1, however, you can "pause" colonization to allow the indigenous borders to remain as-is.
