So, goofing off as the United States, I put my entire fleet on the WESTERN North America so that the other powers can blockade me, driving up VPs and unrest, hoping to see if I can get the US to go Commie or Fascist or non-democratic. Keep trying to edge up the unrest by denying peace, each time racketing up 1 prestige.
Eventually, I got bored. Lost a couple wars, nothing serious. Never changed government. Ending Prestige: 73 They named an Aircraft Carrier after me
...I guess it might make sense, since I was basically the J. Edgar Hoover of the Navy, putting my own department over the interests of everyone else. Also shooting protesters while calling them communists, we got that in common as well.

I've definitely had my nation rebel out from under me when I ran a gambit like that.
Maybe RW2 is more forgiving than RW1 was?

One way to boost unrest is to design a large portion of your ships with cramped accommodations. Or at least I think so, the only time I've had a legitimate revolution against me was as when I did that.

Honestly, get into wars frequently, accept as many battles as you can (although don't take engagements you're likely to lose), and keep winning battles. Preferably win battles by margins just small enough that you get 2 prestige points, where some enemy ships are preserved so you can sink them later (also depends on the nation you're fighting against, the US and Britain have deep pockets when it comes to warships). Successful invasions also get you prestige, if you want to gain a few more points.
Without following the second-to-last rule I've amassed 124 prestige points as Austria-Hungary as of August 1949 on historical budget and very large fleet settings.
So it seems like you get more prestige by winning battles and wars than you do through declining peace while losing.

If I had played twice as long, I would have out-prestiged you? |

If I had played twice as long, I would have out-prestiged you? Ok, yeah, or at least have gotten close to it. I thought you had finished the game, not given up partway through. But all that being said you are the US. You should get more prestige than A-H. I was probably a bit lower in the 20s anyways due to getting out of a (near) war and accepting a naval treaty. Had there been an additional war or two in that time things may have been different. |

In the OP's case i'd almost feel like his "prestige" is more a indicator of infamy than honor xD If this guy remained in office after all that, he must have seriously potent political influence, which makes him prestigious.  |
