Colonization is a playstyle that you can try out in Victoria 3. By colonizing other countries, you will be able to expand your territory and become a force to be reckoned with. The more land you have, the more profit you can gain as you will have more access to things like natural resources, trade routes and even allies.

You will be able to colonize other countries in Victoria 3 only after a lot of investment. During the process of colonization and management, you will incur a lot of overseas expenses that you need to keep an eye on lest it gets out of hand. Sometimes, the people you have colonized can revolt, and soon you’ll have an uprising in your hands. The rebellion of your colony could have serious ramifications on your economy.

However, if you still want to play Colonization, you will need to unlock the ability to become a colonial nation. This is done by enacting a law through the Colonial Affairs Institution which needs to be activated. Through Colonial Resettlement, you will be eligible to get Migration Attraction bonuses, while through Colonial Exploitation, you will have fewer overseas expenses. The better option is probably the former.
