R5: Pretty chill campaign as native. The one Spanish province in South America is a special gift for people with OCD. Ideas in order: Indigenous, Diplomatic, Administrative, Humanist, Trade (no trade companies in the Americas as a New World nation), Offensive (not really needed, but helps when fighting big boys in Europe).

The plan was to federate but not pass the final law, which invalidates the achievement. I managed to grab a relatively early alliance with Denmark, which somehow kept the UK/Portugal from attacking me. I was waiting for colonial nation to form, and I was conquering them in NA, but there were a few strangler provinces of Portugal and Norway, luckily, Portugal guaranteed one of the natives, so that was easy. There was a moment when Denmark was occupied, so Spain jumped me and dragged Portugal with her, it was a trade war, though, so I managed to get a 60% warscore from battles, peaced them out, declared vengeance war on Danish and Norwegian colonies, and to prevent it from happening again, went on a rampage against South American Spain colonies. Meanwhile, I managed to ally with Austria (which formed a huge Germany later on, but they haven't grown much since we allied) and Russia. I dismantled HRE, because Saluzzo emperor was allied to France, the UK and 10 other nations, so I waited for imperialism to dismantle that and then attacked some France (which was allied to Castile the whole game, because why not?) week ally for Anjou and the neighbourhood.

Doesn't moving your capital to Anjou force you to give up all your new world lands to a colonial nation? Or is there a way to prevent this?

It creates the colonial nations, as you mentioned. Aside from pausing at the day you move the capital to take the screenshot there is nothing you can do to prevent it. Or just pause, save the game, move capital, unpause, get the achievement, "look a bird!", reload if you want to continue playing. Profit.
