One second, I just annexed Japan with Communist China in Hearts of Iron 2 with DAIM...
Besides:
But China is too easy to do a LP of in HoI2 due to the near infinite manpower. All this set-up is because this is obviously a Let's Play of a CRPG(Chinese Role-Playing Game) and not everything that comes from the Far East sucks. And it is one centered on the Age of Sail, as the name may suggest. There is a PC version but considering I'd have to run both through different kinds of emulators, and that the Genesis version is prettier...

Choices with consequences even before you start playing it.
KOEI, also known for the classic Genghis Khan turn-based strategy game, is responsible for the Uncharted Waters series. Most of them weren't translated to English but it doesn't matter here. There is a strong lack of games inspired by the Age of Sail but fortunately Risen 2 is going to be released.
1994. Same year one of the most known SNES Final Faggotry games was released, Doom was 1 year old and First Person Shooters were becoming the newest fad. People had no idea of what decline truly meant yet.
Now, like explained, New Horizons has choices with consequences before the game even starts, because there are eight pre-made characters with eight different plot lines to progress, and you can only choose one for every game you start. So technically, this game has a strong replay factor provided you like it. Obviously, I wouldn't just pick up one instead of allowing you to choose.
Here are the possibilities:
Joao Franco: Pretty much what the description says. This will be obviously a journey focused on exploration rather than combat, or trading, or mapmaking. Because this games features all of them.
Catalina Erantzo Scottish Martial Arts: They say woman bring bad luck on the sea... oh wait, nevermind. Carry on with piracy, escaping the force of law and buying bigger, mightier and more armed ships, and maybe even building an entire pirate fleet. Yes, you can command entire fleets in this game rather than only one ship.
Otto Baynes: Pip Pip. Rule Brittania! This talentous privateer is tasked with the daunting mission of helping to destroy the "Invincible Armada" of Spain, and turning England into the greatest naval power of the world. It is not so different from playing as SMA's, except for having different allies, enemies and objectives, and arguably starting with better equipment, while also being put into far more massive naval battles, as suggested.
Ernst Von Bohr: Disciple of Mercator. Explore world, sell cartographic information for a living and do the same thing as Joao Franco when not doing it. Arguably the least interesting character.
Pietro Conti Lyric Suite: Italian adventure who is going to cast sails and hopefully get wealthy enough adventuring because at the start he is seriously broke. Similar to Joao Franco except for having a different storyline.
Ali Vezas: Follower of the religion of peace who was born as an orphan and will try to gain wealth through trading. And this is pretty much what his quest will, for most of the game, resume to: trading, trading, trading and more trading. Competes with Bohr for the position of least interesting character to play.
Post your choice! It'll be very important because I'm not going to LP the replay of this game with another character.
