Hearts of Iron IV "Fictionalization."

You could this image for Afton himself in the 1960s like how the mod devs used it for the sub-mod itself: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/v.../WillyA.png/revision/latest?cb=20201123125445


Weird thought, but I thought of them being part of the Drew Presidency in one way or another, his Presidency could also be similar to that of the Disney Presidency from A World of Laughter, A World of Tears.

Probably.

The Drew Presidency would also set sights to create a Government-mandated EPCOT to the entire world and make sure that it all goes smoothly.

And if they were to have their own superevent, it'd be something like this:
 
For the China path, I'd suggest Chen Zhen as a neutral figure, with Chow Fu-Shan (a Chinese general from the film West of Shanghai) as the Chiang Kai-Shek analogue.
To me, at least, this makes slightly more sense than having Chen (an otherwise apolitical character) in such a politically-partisan role.
 
Likewise, I'd question some of the geographic choices. Ruritania as Romania, for instance, doesn't make a lick of sense. In The Prisoner of Zenda, Ruritania is located inbetween Saxony and Bohemia. Having Latveria as a Romania analogue would make more sense, as that is more overtly eastern-European, both in terms of general setting, and in terms of location. Conflating More's Utopia and Gilbert's Utopia makes no sense geographically. Gilbert's Utopia is a pacific island, while More's Utopia is located off the coast of South America. And having Grand Fenwick as an analogue of Wurttemberg makes no sense at all. Canonically, Grand Fenwick is in the middle of France, and was founded by Britons. It's the most un-German thing you could think of! A better analogue, I think, would be the kingdom of Grunewald from Robert Louis Stevenson's Prince Otto, as the kingdom is located in modern Germany, and the name means 'Green Wood' in German, which could serve as a natural link to the Black Forest, as the state of Baden-Wurttemberg is where the Black Forest is located.

Most of the choices are largely to simplify. Ruritania is partly based on Romania. Conflating the Utopias is so there are not two which would prove confusing. Though I'm not opposed to moving the Duchy of Gran Fenwick to near France and Switzerland rather than being on the German side along with replacing it with Grunewald.

OK. Fair.

Chow Fu-Shan as a Kai-Shek counterpart makes sense, with Wu Yen-Fang as a Zhang Xueliang counterpart too.

Not sure what to do with Chen Zhen, or who to replace him with, but I’m looking into some films set in China around this time period.
