In 1865, Argentina was already one of the top 25 nations by per capita income. By 1908, it had surpassed Denmark, Canada and the Netherlands to reach 7th place—behind Switzerland, New Zealand, Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom and Belgium. Argentina's per capita income was 70% higher than Italy's, 90% higher than Spain's, 180% higher than Japan's and 400% higher than Brazil's.[65]

Yes, I, too, enjoy a nice Vicky 3 South American playthrough.

Ooh, I should do that game sometime, I must have spent a couple years of my life playing Civ and Total War: Empire.

It's got a very steep learning curve even compared to 4x games

Yeah... the thing about steep learning curves is: I might as well be reading quantitative/modeling & simulation approaches to history at that point. Because eventually that could turn into contributing back to the field.
