Why You Shouldn't Play Krakow – GigaChad Essay – Victoria 3 Guide

Here’s an experimental video which combines the guide format with the video essay format in order for me to show why I hate playing insignificant powers like Krakow, but nonetheless will explain how to play such powers anyway. I didn’t take this guide as far as most go, but that’s just because the main topic of contention was the essay aspect of this video.
