			<description><![CDATA[ The Netherlands were very strong indeed and dominated trade from the 17th century until early 18th century when Britannia surpassed them. Also the Netherlands
had a small but good army and very powerful navy in the early part of the century too. So in a way in makes sense the netherlands was there, because they were
fighting with England, France and Spain for the seas.

nations troops were used in battles. CA stated after this that they have not descided weather these will be playable as they are still balancing the game. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Oh I agree, that is why I accept a native american faction will not be playable. I accept and understand that. I, personally, would like it. I also argue that
having just established empires as playable would be a failing in the game
<br>
<br>
I think the choices are logical, they have empires both of great powers and nations either in the decline or on the rise that can become empires or be
re-established as great powers. So you get a veriety of difficulty levels for the gamer.

			<description><![CDATA[ agree with you elyrioth (also on the facts list being out of date) the 6 confirmed nations so far are a logical choice and I think that the USA, the Ottomans
and the Mughals will give more then enough diversity. An aditional native american faction ass playable from the start would be ridiculous if that would mean a
austria or portugal will be unplayable ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Well, not all of the coutries will be empires as such, Prussia was not an empire, in 1700 it was quite small and still a part of the HRE. It was not a kingdom
until 1701 and not part of an empire until the German Empire and continued to be a Kingdom within the german empire until 1918. But in fairness could you have
a game of this era without the nation of Frederick the Great? No way.

Also the 13 colonies have been confirmed playable, also not an empire. Even as the US not an empire in... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Just my opinion for diversity of the gameplay experience. Everybody is entitled to one. Its not a big deal. And I was refering to one of the Native America
Nations.
<br>
I was just using it as an example to my point that there will be disappointments for most people on the selection of nations and there is no way to keep
everyone happy, so I don&#39;t envy CA.
<br>
So as I know there are only 2 non european factions and what they are, then I know there will be no Native american Nation.
