LOL. Diplomatic victory in Civ V. More of a “I have ridiculously fortified cities, modern weaponry, and several atomic bombs and I took out three empires” sort of big-stick diplomacy.

I took out Russia, Egypt, and Mongolia. The only true empires left were mine (Persia), Greece, and the Iroquois. Japan only had one city left, so it was functionally a city state, but Nobunaga insisted that he had the protection of Edinburgh covered and that I should back off. This despite the fact that to help Edinburgh, he’d have had to gone through half the Iroquois territory first.
