If I am understanding things correctly, it appears that my son and I could actually start up a game where both of us controlled multiple nations and pretenders?

Yes. You can play 1 nation vs your sons nation.

Then you can try you and your son allied vs multiple AI (computer played) nations.

Then try each of you taking two nations. The uniqueness of the nations goes nuts when you consider how certain nations ally well with other nations filling in the gaps and making best use of the abilities.

Then you can run multiple allied nations vs multiple computer-run nations which are also allied with each other.

The unmodded game allows for something like 25 nations in any combination you want. With modded nations you can add another dozen or so above that. With the ALL_Nations mod you can go up to (if I remember right its now up to) 63 nations and add additional modded nations to take the total up to 95 nations on a 1500 province map. Feel like playing the same game for a whole year?
