I think you should do it as role play like you have the mindset of the particular country and not only trying to win the game, it will add another level of detail to the gameplay btw love your content
I try to to an extent like not changing the ideology and attacking the continent they exist in. Some countries might be diving a little too close to politics to role play
You should try Syria: it’s without a doubt one of the hardest countries in Dummynation and your constantly bombarded by Türkiye and European major powers in the Mediterranean such as Italy and Greece, aswell as this, Syria is economically, politically and militarily unstable making everything overall harder and more annoying Also remember Syria is in the Middle East where literally anything is possible its also my home country :D
