Size does matter, but a lot of your size is in Siberia. You're basically Russia + Scandinavia, so most of your provinces are very large in size. You've risen quite high in total development too though, which is basically the total value of your provinces (divided into tax, production and manpower). Eboue is smaller on the map, but his provinces are both physically smaller and much higher average value.

I'm afraid your armies are never even going to get on the continent. @Eboue has a mega-fleet circling Great Britain.
Is there a prize for largest and most worthless country at the end?
That said, maybe I shouldn't try to make excuse for you. If these guys can march some elephants over from India you should be able to cross the channel.
I think... yes! There's a feature in a save-game inspection website that shows the total size of the country. I don't know how they make that determination, but I'm pretty sure you're in the millions of square kilometers now.
Mexico is the only country that managed to get its independence without @Solius pushing them, and it seems like he took that personally.

Have they even met me.
I will go for the largest and limpest penis prize then
1767 Annual Dumb Borders Award:
3rd: @P-Nut for this atrocity (all the non-VeevaVee-green is P-Nut).
2nd: @Abizzz for this mess. Though to be fair it was partly forced on him, which is why it's only 2nd.
1st: @AnotherLondonManc. Look at this beauty. 17 separate parts.
Honourable mention to the mess @Solius created in Mexico:
(Yes we get it, it's Solius Mexico)

You're currently helping one colonial nation you freed (Brazil) invade the three others you freed (Peru, Cuba, Chile). You're a fecking chaos demon or something.
1st peasant army, what a grim way to end a dynasty
@Andycoleno9 just said "I'm done", and is backing the tiny country of Cilli against... everyone. And they all want his provinces too. Map legend: Red = bad news

In the one corner - 76k army@Andycoleno9 just said "I'm done", and is backing the tiny country of Cilli against... everyone. And they all want his provinces too. Map legend: Red = bad news
In the other - 1m army
It's a tough one to pick.
That is what happens when you have neverending dynasty of drunk rulers. What a plonker of a ruler@Andycoleno9 just said "I'm done", and is backing the tiny country of Cilli against... everyone. And they all want his provinces too. Map legend: Red = bad news
Im amazed I’m still alive. Is someone guaranteeing me?
Nope, but you're allied to Gujarat and they have half a million men.
@BootsyCollins has an incredible 6/6/5 21-year old ruler. He's confusingly an Eboue, despite Eboue being in a personal union under BootsyCollins and not the other way around.
Dynasties are a bit weird now.
hobbers is ruled by a P-Nut (the dynasty, not the country)
Salt Bailly is ruled by a hobbers.
altodevil is ruleby a de Abizzz.
Organic Potatoes and BootsyCollins are ruled by an Eboue.
Igor Drefljak is ruled by a Samid
The only ones who are still ruled by their own dynasty are Eboue, BD, Wing Attack Plan R, P-Nut, Abizzz, Samid and Andycoleno9.

@Solius has picked another victim of his awfulness. @Wing Attack Plan R has largely stayed out of European affairs, but this time he has no choice. Also he's at war with the very big Timurds right next to him. @RedSky is also there, like he always is.
Also, @AnotherLondonManc, @Organic Potatoes and @VeevaVee have teamed up and decided to actually win a war for once. Re-colonization has begun.

I'm here boss!!
Nice, i think. I have no idea whats good or bad in this game
Does that mean he no longer has the advantage of that awesome 21 year old ruler he had?
What a gang. Never a doubtAlso, @AnotherLondonManc, @Organic Potatoes and @VeevaVee have teamed up and decided to actually win a war for once. Re-colonization has begun.
Geez, are you sure guys that you have enough army? Maybe to call 2 or 3 more allies to be sure?Also, @AnotherLondonManc, @Organic Potatoes and @VeevaVee have teamed up and decided to actually win a war for once. Re-colonization has begun.
While they're busy in Mexico should I not be finishing off the rest of non-Spanish Europe.
Wait, what?Yes
Wait, what?
He got overthrown, you're now a glorious revolutionary republic. Down with royalty!
Ok, i (only guessing) its still better to be revolutionary than not, so here is for a glorious future.
This is actually an interesting topic. Barring an extraordinary eventuality whereby OP, Veeva, and I crush Solius and his minions, it's pretty clear who will have the greatest empire at the end of the game.
So what will be the other categories for the end of campaign awards?
Most hawkish
Biggest overachiever
The @Shakesey participation trophy
...
Okay, don't get too excited, but I tried to see if the EU4 to Victoria 3 (next game in the series, chronologically) converter even works, and...
The converter is still a very early version, so who knows if it even works properly actually running it. Also who knows how well an "Experiment" would even work with that game. But it's at least remotely feasible to convert save games over.
Another example:

That's a long retirement that dude's facing. Tough life!Yes
And yet I didnt see them in any of the war screens you posted! Useless.
