A belated Christmas present: The Second Great European War Part 7: The Summer of Blood "It's sticky, hot, and never-ending, and I'm not talking about the blood from the wounded." - Hans Ketter, German novelist and veteran With the Battle of Warsaw in the winter of 1944-1945, the Soviet advance...

I moved all the new nations I had created to a section in countries.txt at the end labeled #Custom Countries and that seems to have solved the problem. I guess having all of the new North American custom countries had done something to screw around with the South American flags, and I just...

Solid idea. Here it is (sorry for the length, but I couldn't seem to figure out how to put it in a spoiler. Anything bigger than this and I'll just post a link to the Notepad file):

Got a bit of a modding question (I'm using Vanilla HoD, latest patch, whatever it is), I'll just quote myself from the Paradox forum. It's really quite the headache. Also, and I hadn't realized this until just now, but some of the other South American countries are flying the wrong flags too...

This. A populist party gaining a vast majority in Congress but still not controlling the Presidency could conceivably conjure some trumped up charges and remove the President and his VP, putting the Speaker in power. And it could be considered to meet the requirements of a "coup" (an illegal...

Very carefully :p Usually I use the databases my school makes available to us for free, so it's not really a problem to do good academic research. Sometimes I'll get a couple books out from the library, or hunt up some statistics on Google. Oh yeah, and I use Google Maps to get a good idea of...

China's growth rate was around 1%-1.5%, according to the World Bank, from the 70s until the 2000s, at which point it began to dip below 1%. But actually, sub-Saharan Africa (which has growth rates between 4 and 5 percent, just lower than the growth rates of the Gulf states, which hover between 4...

Interesting. So Central Asia is an authoritarian union, but perhaps not as bad as it could be considering the nuclear genocide committed against it. Any chance we could get a map of the world at some point?

I want to know what it's like in the south. The feeling I got was that the RoK might actually be a democratic state in the south, but that's its brutally occupying the north and treats them as a second class. Kind of like what some of the more extreme northerners seemed to want to do to the...

Actually, speaking of the protagonist, who are they? Is it a UN official compiling a report, as in World War Z, or has the UN fallen apart as was being foreshadowed at the end of Icarus Rising? If it has fallen apart, then are they an official for its successor, or someone different?

Oh Anywhere, you sly dog.

I think that if it's something that you think is for the best, then I'm all for it. Seriously, we enjoy your timeline, but in the end it is your timeline, your time, and your brainpower. As far as I'm concerned, you've injected more than a year of wonderfully creative writing into this project...

Well, it depends. Are you looking for 'hard' alternative history? Or do you enjoy the kind that includes some magic and steampunk and other more fantasy elements?

Quite, and though Ethiopian troops will find themselves deployed to select areas outside of the Horn of Africa, it will not be in any significant numbers. However, considering the small numbers of troops that the Germans and French can commit, any number of modernized natives is a boon.

The Second Great European War Part 6: The Hot Spring "Poets write about roses, violets, reds, and blues. All I see is blood and mud." - Anonymous With the end of the year of 1944, and the putting to bed of the idea that the war would be over quickly, Europe goaded itself for another year...

The Second Great European War Part 5: The Cold Winter "The only thing worse than charging a trench full of German machine guns is doing it again in the snow." - Anonymous The winter of 1944 was, all agreed, the coldest in recent memory. Crops failed, snow came down in avalanches, and people...

Among other things, yes. TTL's USSR is moderate compared to OTL's. However, it's still solidly authoritarian.

I liked 'Give Me Back My Legions!' 'Fort Pillow' was pretty good too.
