Basically, you take control of a country, faction or rebel movement and try to achieve glory or another goal while interacting with other nations. You control everything your selected nation can do, like the government, trade, diplomacy and military.

I'd recommend playing as a strong nation for more options, but building a small nation into an empire is rewarding on its own.
