Ally Austria/Brandenburg/Netherlands/Savoy or whoever is big in Italy. Brittany is a waste of an ally unless you can vassalize them. You may be too late though if France has already blobbed.
Italy right now is Naples (who is my lesser partner and I am currently integrating), Tuscany (allied with France), Venice (allied with France), and the Papal State.
France owns pretty much all of it's modern territory, the entire African coast and Madagascar, and some scattered colonies in South America. I am allied with Mexico, Portugal, and Brittany.
I think I may start a new game though. I'm ranked 4th and that hasn't changed in a while. I've got 5 big colonies. My mission is to own the Bay of Bengal and that's going to be difficult since Bengal has 3 allies and my closest territory is Wake Island. I think i should just roll with a slightly more difficult civilization.
