Spain

Spain is a nation available from 1517 onwards. Spain is primarily known for being the strongest nation in the world in later eras. Spanish holdings in the Iberian peninsula are somewhat invaluable due to the lack of resources, the only resources located inside of Iberia are 2 food resources, 2 grape resources, 2 metal resources, and 1 salt resources. This makes Spain very reliant on resources from the Americas. Spain may be able to field a massive military force, however, they do have a weakness, and that is how spread apart their territories are, which means it can take more than one year to field the entire Spanish army in one place. This allows nations like France to blitz through mainland Spain and force a surrender.
