How to: Continental Conquering

If you truly want power in the world, then conquering whole continents will get you there much faster. The best country to start with is South America, being the smallest (yes I know Australia is smaller but I mean, Australia doesn't have anything important there, say soldiers...). Anyways, once you have a whole continent under the rule of one country (once again excluding Australia), you will be respected by the whole world. A bonus would be a coffee embargo when you take control of Columbia. Politicans everywhere would be too sleepy to order an attack on us! Mwahahahaha....
