Default difficulty seems a bit easy.
Started a Grand Campaign as Sweden (after doing the first 3 RTI campaigns, as I didn't realise to start a new one as the US you had to do it manually), default difficulty, after playing for a few days, I own Denmark, Iceland, Finland, Poland, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Gibraltar, Morocco, Austria*, Serbia, Croatia, all those little ex-USSR states in Eastern Europe, Florida, Texas, Mexico, Cuba, Panama, all of South America, Leeward (Pirate) Islands, and would have knocked over all the Cherokee nations in a few turns, plus going across North Africa with some of the armies I sent to Morocco.
Basically I owned all of Southern and Central Europe, the Balkans, Scandinavia, South America, parts of North Africa, Latin America, the Lower United States and the Caribbean.
I didn't bother with England because Naval stuff causes crashes for me, and didn't attack Russia because I didn't want to end the campaign.
Was making 40,000 a turn (by this stage I was at the end of the tech tree) even with my 70,000 Army Upkeep, had 3x fleets full of 2nd rates, if I wanted could produce a fleet of super 1st rates, had over 15 full stack armies across Europe and America, full of Line Infantry, 24 Pound Artillery, Puckle Guns and Heavy Cavalary, and the ability to raise a new army every 2 turns in Poland, France, Sweden, Denmark and Mexico.
*They were allied with me, was quite nice of them to let 6 of my armies setup camp outside everyone of their regions and destroy their nation in one go).
I'll probably wait for a few patches to play another GC, with the difficulty up a notch.
