| - In Europa Universalis II, turboannexation means "annexing" a country via its government collapsing. It is not a true annexation: not all provinces can be taken. However, when an enemy government collapses, a belligerent country can take any number of its provinces, minus its capital and usually one other province. Generally, turboannexation is a planned result, but not always. By contrast, turboannexation is very fast. It requires one well-planned war, plus one or two easy "mop up" wars against the rump state that is left after a turboannex.

| - In Europa Universalis II, turboannexation means "annexing" a country via its government collapsing. It is not a true annexation: not all provinces can be taken. However, when an enemy government collapses, a belligerent country can take any number of its provinces, minus its capital and usually one other province. Generally, turboannexation is a planned result, but not always. A 100% warscore is enough to take all the provinces of a small to medium-sized country, up to maybe 8 provinces. However, a large country can have provinces worth hundreds of warscore - for example, in 1419 China has about 500% warscore worth of provinces. To fully take over a large country via wars and diplomatic peaces can require many wars. This takes time: several years per war, usually also truces of five years in between. For example conquering 1419 China requires about 6 wars or so, so the minimum time you can take them out via traditional wars is perhaps 40 years. By contrast, turboannexation is very fast. It requires one well-planned war, plus one or two easy "mop up" wars against the rump state that is left after a turboannex.
