It could really go either way in the Chinese Civil War. It is mentioned that the regime there is very harsh which leads me to think that Mao still won. Stalin has every reason to support Mao since he has no allies in Europe, perhaps we get more effort in turning Korea red entirely before the Americans get in there and the experienced Red Army can crush the Nationalists. OTOH the USSR has lost a lot of industry and the Nazis don't want to see another commie regime pop up. Maybe a communist north and Nationalist south which is courted by both the Nazis and Americans (I don't see the Americans supporting crazy socialist regimes against the Nazis regardless of what some think).
Yes, but the first part of that is only because most AH HOI2 modders are bizarrely in love with the Qing.The Hearts of Iron mod had it divided between a Qing north and an ROC south.
I'm going to undefend it by noting that, quite frankly, Manchukuo was not in a position to take advantage of the situation, nor was Puyi in a position to take control of Manchukuo. Remove the Japanese, Manchukuo falls. Don't remove them, and Puyi is not in control of his own life, let alone the state he is nominal head of.As uncreative as it is, I'm actually going to defend its placement in a Fatherland mod because while the Japanese fell for some reason their puppet states remained on the mainland (probably because the Soviets are too busy trying to survive to expand). Manchukuo + Mengjiang + whatever was placed under the rule of Puyi, and so the Qing survived.
Actually, that idea is kinda amusing to me. The only reason why the Imperial Chinese system survives is because of foreign meddling. How poetic.

Again, we're talking about a mod based off of Fatherland here.
It is no sin to talk of media in a board of scenarios.
That's because the USSR gets alot smaller and can't help out much. The US does help, but our help was directed to a corrupt fool with no help of winning the civil war.While riding the tube, Bob read in his newspaper about tensions between the Chinese fragment states, the US, and rump, nonnuclear USSR. The article pointed out that, of those in the tensions, only the United States was a nuclear state.
