Gaming / Victoria II

I was wondering if anyone here plays Victoria II. I've recently started to play this game, choosing Brazil since from what I gather it is a good nation to learn the game.
I'm currently in the late 1860's and everything was going well for me until I got sphere'd by the USA. Now my economy is in shambles and I can't seem to refloat. I've had to do some massive cuts to my defence budget and I'd be hard pressed to take on anyting stronger than a third rate S. American nation. Also, for some reason I'm getting the Spanish Flu event every single year, which hampers my pop growth. I have researched the three colonial techs but still have only two of the three colonial inventions.
Assuming that the only possible way to get out of the USA's sphere of influence is becoming a Great Power, what would be a good way to do it?
For reference, here's my current empire:
I have all of Brazil's core regions + Panama + a colonial concession in West Morocco.
