Victoria II vs. Pride of Nations

[Raptor1]

Hmm, let's see. Both games are similar in scope and purpose, but they're different in execution. If I was to list the advantages and disadvantages of each game...

Pride of Nations has a more realistic military system, it handles a few other areas much better (Such as crisis resolution and colonization), is generally more historically accurate (But as a result less dynamic) and has battle scenarios besides the main campaign. However, it is rather buggy (It was just released, of course, it will get patched) and the turn resolution times are annoyingly long, especially since the Grand Campaign is some 1680 turns long.

Victoria II, on the other hand, has a more detailed political and economic system, is more dynamic (And therefore less accurate), generally less buggy (For now) and has a better interface. It's also getting an expansion soon.
