Please, someone feel free to explain how the United States of Central America managed to become a great power with more industry than Germany, a stronger military than Russia, and control over the Suez canal (they also have Panama, but that isn't crazy for a Central American power).

Maybe that's what happens when I play an Anarcho-Liberal US that's more interested in expanding it's influence in the Pacific and taking over the Caribbean and Canada instead of bullying Central America?
 
Obviously someone misunderstood the saying that Africa began at the Pyrenees. I'm wondering more why Indochina and Siam are called Japan. The Jacobins also kind of through me.

I don't give a shit about anyone explaining Japanese south and southeast Asia, but I want to know why Manchuria is part of Africa in your game.
 
Easy. The Japanese wanted in on the Scramble for Africa, but didn't get in - so they decided to call their neck of China Japanese Africa.
 
Manchuria was an early acquisition of Japan, and when it acquired African colonies they were tacked onto a generic "overseas administration" that included Manchuria and Korea as well. Later Japanese acquisitions got their own administrations, but bureaucratic inertia kept Manchuria and the African colonies together even when the African colonies were larger and had more people in it than the Manchurian part of the administrative division where the capital was located, making it so that foreign mapmakers would refer to it as a whole as Japanese Africa.
 
This one's fun:

To be fair, Gullah/Geechee is an African American creole spoken in the coastal regions of Georgia and South Carolina, so at least the event makes sense in a geographic sort of way.

So how about this?

For whatever reason, the Americans take the "All Men are created equally" part of the revolution a bit more seriously, and create measures that will slowly eliminate slavery from the United States (about 50 years after the end of the war). In celebration of the ending of slavery in the late 1830s, South Carolina's Gullah-speaking majority regions want protection for their local version of the English Language. While many White South Carolinians take a "French Revolution" view towards language diversity, the more "humanist" elements decide that it shouldn't be a problem to at least debate the idea in the state legislature.

Once a place drops all cores for its former owners and gains them for the current owner, that area obviously takes on the name of its current owner.

So if you have the U.S. take and hold France long enough, you can get European U.S.A. instead of American France.

Without it stretching to the Home Islands?
 
The Red Star is a Commie symbol, so I think it's Commie France.

Yeah, it's the People's Republic of France. From what I can tell, the Paris Commune took over after the creation of the German Republic.

Yeah; in my USA game I got cores on Cuba while Spain still had it, and after that it changed from Spanish Cuba to Spanish USA.
