Lasted as Korea for a while in the last one. I think it wasn't until 1917 that I lost control due to some strange events.

Here I thought all was fine, then Japan just suddenly swept in under the guise of friendship. :P

If Canada isn't playable, why is it a separate colour from Britain on the map, and why is South Africa post-Boer War playable? I put Canada on my preferences above Sweden, so if Canada is an option, I'd take it before I would Sweden.

My only guess is that you were given Sweden since they actually have their own foreign policy, and doesn't have Britain holding supreme legislative, judicial, and executive authority above them.
