Recommendation for 4 players game

Hello! I was wondering if any of you have a campaign idea for a 4 player game. I'm quite versed in the game. I manage to lure in three of my friends who never played Victoria. I've explained the game in great detail for them, also two of them are historians as I am, so shouldn't be that hard to learn. Anyways, I was thinking about what countrys would be the most suitable for every one of them and what should be our goal. I even wonderd if maybe we should go for a free for all or rather in teams and play a 2v2. For example, GB, France, Netherlands and some African nation and the longterm goal would be to colonize Africa, so there would be interaction between us, rather than just playing our own game.

I'd be happy to hear your suggestions, if you have any.

Thanks in advance!
