If it was possible for the US to adopt whatever the Drakan ideology is called, the focus for it would need to be called "Decades of Darkness"
Best potential mods for HOI4?
- Thread starter CanveyFanNumberOne
- Start date
I would love one taking place on the Coronation of the Hun TL, it reaches the modern day so it's completely possible to mod it in HOI4
On that note, I remember watching Sleepy Hollow where the american revolutionary war was a occult war and the british had stuff like Moloch and the headless horseman on their side while the americans had a army of witches
Intresting, but my ideas is that the US won't be able to go Dominationist(the Draka ideology).
However, some particularly horrible elements within fascist movements might seek to adapt Dominionist ideology, either seeing the Draka as a bastion of white civilization or seeking to pull a "eviler than thou" on them(through this does not mean that they will suceed, or the resulting horror show will be stable).

And what about the different United States or a Dutch-descended United States? But what about if there's a 21st century three-way system in between the Democratic Bloc, Communist Bloc, and Monarchist or possibly Fraternist bloc?
The latter is kinda the premise of The Red Order, which has a three way cold war between Imperialist Europe, the USSR, and the US following the defeat of the Nazis. But its' a DBWI rooted in TNO lore and a tripolar cold war based off of OTL would be intrested.
But what about the Democratic Japan, US, and Western Europe, Fraternist East Asia, and then the USSR?
Now I'm imagining Decades of Darkness US fighting against a benevolent Japan
But what about the Fraternist China fought against the Atlantic-Pacific consensus comprised of Japan, British Commonwealth, Western Europe, and North America? What about a bloc which is dominated by imperialist China?
Sounds awesome
But I think that's maybe too much against China..? How about...imperialist-fraternalist China & Decades of Darkness US vs a democratic Japan and a french-german led EU(perhaps one like the one from A Extremely Reluctant Fuhrer).
Maybe have Russia stay Imperial while Britain has a socialist revolution Kaiserreich-style, then you have a full role swap.
And how about the Decades of Darkness US excludes Midwest, Great Plains, parts of California, and Northwest Pacific? Which is part of Greater New England or a Dutch-descended dominion? Let's change to Democratic Union of North America or Democratic Confederation!
How about Soviet Union keeping float while challenging against democratic Japan, Fraternist China, and EF? or do I want myself to abandon the plans of adding the USSR?

Although it's unlikely to ever be completed as a TL, The Presbyterian Butcher could make a good mod.
Britain: Fighting both Germany and the USA is no easy task, but at the start of the game the Imperial Federation is about to become a reality, giving access to manpower from New Zealand to Nootka Sound. Politically, the Liberal Party of Mosley and Churchill (yes, really) is secure in power.
CSA: As Gordon McSweeney takes hold of the USA, the Confederacy prepares for another war, this time for its very survival. However, the advances in black rights in the last twenty years have provided boosts to both stability and manpower. The Conservative Party, having ousted the Whigs in the 1933 election, look set to hold on to power.
USA: As Gordon McSweeney takes power, you, the player, have two choices. Continue to tighten your grip and inflict bloody vengeance on your adversaries? Or initiate a civil war to return democracy to the land of the free?
There would also be rebellions to factor in. For Britain, this would be Azad Hind or the IRA (although in TPB, the Republican movement had been marginalised), with Mormon rebellions for the USA and the Redemption League for the CSA. If a civil war was to break out in the AI USA, the player can support whichever faction aligns with their nation.

I'm finally reading TL-191, and I actually think that, if the HOI4 mod takes off like I think it could, a DBWI 'Northern Victory' could be fun, utilizing all of the same fictional characters and alternate character interpretations, but in a world where the US won the civil war and fought with the Entente.
I think that some sort of more original alternate history mod set several decades after the emergence of magic could be interesting.
I'm thinking it would be something along the lines of Nightrise, where society borderline collapses for a temporary period of time due to large chunks of humanity turning into various fantasy races. After things have settled down a bit, various bizarre ideologies emerge, much like in the aftermath of WW1 IOTL.
To add with the parallels to the aftermath of WW1, maybe magic emerges in 1913? Or, it could emerge in the late 19th century in order to give society more time to adjust and return to "normal" by the 1930s.
