I think this is the image the Empire projects propagandistically, but the reality is much grimmer. Keep in mind that for all their talk of racial harmony, the Brazillian integralists are quite openly anti-Semitic. And the "fight against syndicalism" in the Brazilian context is going to mean...

So this is a scenario I've been thinking about a lot recently: Napoleon doesn't launch the Leclerc Expedition, maintaining St. Domingue as a cultivator colony led by Toussaint Louverture. This averts the Louisiana Purchase, effectively cutting the US off from westward expansion for the...

The devs have answered this. Andorra is independent under Spanish protection and is occupied by France at the beginning of the SCW. San Marino is still independent, with socialist captains. Lichtenstein is still around

A pedantic correction to an otherwise excellent post: Chile can request full control of Tierra del Fuego after the Revolution as compensation for their critical military support, and your options are "Sure, it's useless" or "No." I've gotten this event once in four or five different FOP games...

Linguang is definitely what I'm gonna go for first. I can't decide if I want to go federalist or back the Left-KMT; I'll probably decide as I go.

I'm intrigued by the possibility of taking the Republic into the Internationale, because I like playing as Syndies but I also really dig the Republican flag.

The CSA does as well, which is nice for when the Internationale has already been defeated by the time you're in shape to join the war.

In this environment, I wonder if The Simpsons can maintain its edge for longer, or if it actually gets cancelled at some point.

Batavian Commune.

So I guess the question is how you get youth movements more aligned with the labor movement. Maybe somehow prevent or lessen the rise of higher education after WW2?
