Too bad you can't create client states overseas, I would create Zone 11 the second I could.

I already had that achievement and I was busy elsewhere in the world.

A couple of things to note about this game, Portugal didn't colonize the new world except Florida and Cape Horn. I ended up getting a PU over the Commonwealth so I took Influence and to help annex them and then switched to Maritime after I finished annexing(which is why I didn't get to start Trade ideas). I built the Suez Canal and started the Panama Canal but it wasn't going to finish till 1822. I would have had more money but I spent it all on the Canals, Manufactories, and The Grand Armada that I disbanded immediately. The border gore is because of That's a Silk Road and because I was too lazy to clean it up after the war for Ming.
I also got 18 achievements in this game, not in any order: Four for Trade, Master of India, This navy can take it all, World Discoverer, Trade Hegemon, Just a Little Patience, The Rising Sun, The Grand Armada, A Pile of Gold, That's a Silk Road, Guarantor of Peace, Georgia on my Mind, Even Better than Piet Heyn, Magellan’s Voyage, Colonial Management, Voting Streak, An Industrial Revolution, All Your Trade Are Belong to Us.
