I feel it. I was pretty hyped for Red Flood at the beginning and maybe the rushed release made it feel flat for me?
Either way I've yet to try Brazil's content but I intend to do so, partly because we have one of us here from AH.com on the dev team, also partly because the paths sound fun, as does "Nikkei Burajiru". Maybe in a few months when hopefully something exciting gets released for KR I'll get back to it.
Aaand the Internationale. I'm sure Thailand will be included soon. Once Bharatiya conquers it. Hawai'ian Commune is off in the Pacific, and I gave it all the islands.
Russia, UoB, and America are all run by ladies. Liberia controls the West African Union states surrounding it.

Imagine being able to take over the world as the internationale and not using the chance to bring the world to global totalism.
You say this at every meeting, Polish-Lithuanian Commune. It’s not happening, let it go.
EDIT: I will do Moscow Accord, Co-Prosperity Sphere, Donau-Adriabund, Belgrade Pact, Cairo Pact, East Asian Syndicalist Union, and probably others at some point, but not too soon. Hell, I’d need to look up the other factions in the first place.

Also, how did you manage to get Egypt to join the internationale despite them being soccon?
England took them in the war against the Cairo Pact, and they came out SocCon. Dunno how.
I propose a following revision for a more realistic KR setting:
1.I know that French Commune and UoB were created as a "good semi-democratic communists in contrast to OTL totalitarian soviet Marxism, but the setup simply doesn't work:
Resource scarcity and devastation of both WW1 and French civil war would leave France an utterly ruined nation and with strong external and internal opponents of the revolution as well as a firm commitment to an international socialist revolution would make France very strongly inclined to totalism.
Britain suffered no direct infrastructure damage from WW1 and Irish wars, but the British revolution still damaged them and they would have both extreme external opposition because the rest of the British Empire is still around and would very much like to recllaim Britain and a strong underground internal oposition coupled with extreme reasource scarcity from being cut of from the global economy.
.The Russian Revolution is solved by the failure of October revolution or it's equivalent leading to much weaker Bolsheviks that loose the civil war.
2. Germany is dominant within Europe and MittelAfrika but it's marginal outside them. Indochina remains British and French.
In fact getting to keep some of the colonies is why France and Britain agreed to peace with Honor in the First place.
3. There is no Danubian Federation because all the circles of power in Austria-Hungary oppose it. Instead after the very end of Wetkrieg there is a Slavic revolt which threatens to destroy the monarchy forcing Germany to conclude a peace treaty without dismembering France. The revolt is crushed but Central powers realize that concessions have to be made. In the end Hungary is given virtual independence and Austria is a de facto German satellite leading to the end of German Unification. Bohemia is given statehood in return for a mandatory permanent alliance with Germany, Austria and Hungary and economy concessions. Croatia is a joint Austro-Hungarian protectorate.
Slovakia is annexed to Hungary which also takes parts of Romania and Serbia.
Slovenia has no statehood.
Serbia is divided between Hungary, Bulgaria, Bosnia, Albania and Montenegro.
Bosnia is under permanent military rule.
4.Question of Italy:
Central Powers try to establish an Italian Federation but it falls apart as soon as the German troopes leave.
Germany intervenes again and the reusulting Italian war see the divide of Italy into three states: Kingdom of Lombardy under a branch of Habsburgs, Italian Syndicalist Republic and Kingdom of Italy (Sardinia and Sicilia)
5. After the first few years a three sided Cold war between a USA supported Entente, Central Powers and Japan erupts.
6. Spanish Civil war:
Volunteers from USA,Russian Republic and the Internationale support the republicans, while Germans, French republic, British Empire and Portugal support the conservatives along with the anti-Internationale volunteers.
Spanish Republic is forced to give it's Gold reserves to the Internationale and conservatives are forced to renounce all claims on Gibraltar and in Africa.
Communist volunteers from the Internationale as well as the broad spectrum alliance allow Republic to triumph over the conservatives.
7. Middle East:
Ottoman Empire still stands but Egypt has fallen under a the rule of Syndicalist ATL inspired Muslim Brotherhood and Persia has taken advantage of relative Ottoman weaknes in order to invade, preventing the Ottomans from intervening in Egypt or Arabia which is de facto independent. Rahsidi Emirate and the Emirate of Nedj are major powers. Persia is also a rising power.
8. The Indian question:
I don't think the authors of the mod appreciate two primary India had in the Raj Eaa problems: The Ethnoconfessional and class/caste divides whivh were held in chech only by unified oposition to British rule. In KR given the earlier dissolution of the British Empire the Indian national Congress fell apart:
There are three states:
1. Islamic Syndicalist republic Of India (Largely OTL Pakistan)
2. Princely States Confederation initially British aligned later aligned with Japanese
3. Republic of Bharat (nat populist Hindi nationalists)
10. Diplomatic Realignment: Germany,Austra Hungary, Ottoman Empire Japanese Empire and Brazil establish an Imperial Axis Pact.
11. Second American Civil War:
After years of deteriorating political and social situation a total economical collapse happens and the militar is invited to restore order. Huey Long and The America First Party decry this as does the SPA and several prominent Republican and Democrat politicians, several northeastern states refuse to accept Federal authority on the ground of legitimacy followed by several southern states who outright seceded from US forming "a more perfect" American Union. Shortly after SPA takes advantage of Chaos to launch a syndicalist revolution. Maccarthurites manage to forcibly crush New England and limit the Spread of CSA and AUS eastwards and northwards respectively, but situation is still extremely dire. AUS in particular is nearly as strong US military being strengthened by defections from military proper and macarthurites are failing to crush the CSA whose revolution continues to spread.
In desperation the Federal government invites the British to help crush the dissidents, which cause the western states to move from mere disobedience to outright revolt condemning the macarthurite federal government as illegitimate usurpers.
Germany and Brazil support American Union state
Internationale supports the CSA
Japan supports the PSA
Second Entente supports the Macarturite Federarist, which are basically a rump state consisting of Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina and parts of Tennessee and Missouri, which are tenuously connected with the loyalist holdouts of Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska and Wyoming.

3.Italian Social Republic
Mainline Syndicalists:
Syndicalists are either so strong that no dictatorship is necessary to impose build socialism or they have even come to power with a wide social consensus, excluding the old elites of course, or are so weak that a very broad leftist coalition of all the elements opposing the old regime are necessary to have a realistic chance of survival and success like in Combined Syndicates of America.

2. Scandinavian union ( Finland Sweden, Iceland and Norway): Mainly an anti-german, anti-british and anti-russian coalition, the Internationale was the only possibble ally.
Denmark is conservative and a part of Mitteleuropan pact.
Greenland was forcibly annexed by British Empire.

As the dev behind the slowly-progressing Austria-Hungary rework, I feel compelled to address this one. The current setup for the A-H tags have several problems, but this suggestion adds nothing to "realism" (I'm honestly surprised to see this term on this website) and contains severe issues.
"There is no Danubian Federation because all the circles of power in Austria-Hungary oppose it." This is outright wrong. There was definitely support for the reformation of the Monarchy into a federal system at the highest echelons of power (the Emperor himself for one, along with a number of politicians that made up of the last couple of Austrian cabinets). Of course, the question was highly controversial, but the main thing delaying them was the fact that nobody was willing to enact political reforms in the middle of a war and that there was a lot of legal issues that needed to be addressed, along with the more pressing issue of the food supply after 1917.
A "Slavic Revolt" is highly implausible with KR's PoD. They would only be plausible if A-H acted far worse towards the Slavs. Keep in mind that the Empire's Slavs were politically divided anyway, and a political alliance of the Austrian Half's Slovenes and Croats was a recent development late in the war.
The other thing to keep in mind is that there are no Fourteen Points, meaning that the Entente's attitude towards A-H's minorities is never cemented, nor do they ever present an attractive alternative to autonomism (which was the dominant trend among A-H's minorities until as late as 1918) with actual, real promises to them. The Fourteen Points, in the eyes of the Germans and Hungarians of the Empire, also presented a seemingly acceptable peace for them. It really seems that people underestimate the influence of Wilson's Fourteen Points in finally collapsing the Austro-Hungarian Empire (along with the fall of Bulgaria, which was the final nail that led to complete panic in the Empire).
Honestly, this suggestion would only serve to make KR even more of a Germanwank; far from a realistic alternative to the current lore. "Virtual independence" is quite literally the status of Hungary after 1867, and it's seriously against Germany's interests to dismantle the Monarchy. Finally, Germany would never force Bohemian statehood; they, in fact, exercised significant influence on the Austro-Hungarian influence to block reforms there, with German nationalists still seeing the entirety of the region as part of "Germandom".
Edit: It's also nonsense for Japan to align with Germany. The two are fighting for influence in China and East Asia in general and pretty much despise each other.
If anything, the current situation in the mod is somewhat realistic with Emperor Charles having attempted to start the necessary reforms but still facing opposition (mainly in Hungary) and having had to make compromises that might not hold. With of course all the other variables that could have slowed down the process: pretty sure the food supply issue would still be a thing for in KR despite the victory for example. Which would probably require reforms in that field that might seem more important at first than solving the ethno-nationalistic issues. And it's probably not easy to reform an Empire that has just come out of Franz-Joseph's rule: not that Franz-Joseph always opposed reforms (he was a hard worker) but his conservatism slowed down many of the necessary ones and that would probably have translated to his administration, which Charles would have inherited and have to deal with.
I feel it would also make no sense for Germany to attempt to do such a thing. The idea of Germany annexing Austria probably existed in German nationalist circles, but it never was a major idea as long as Austria-Hungary existed. I also have trouble seeing Wilhelm II being okay with doing anything that would potentially harm his cousin Karl's sovereignty: they probably wouldn't necessarilly have the best of relationships (especially if Karl's secret peace attempts still happened and were revealed) but that wouldn't go the point of grabbing Austria and dismantling the rest.
Austria still exists it's just a political and economic satellite of Germany.
From where do you think the State of SHS and later first Yugoslavia came from.
No it Wasn't,it was only becoming a significant problem post 1910. just before the War the trend would have undoubtedly continued.
You seem to misunderstand how Austro-Hungarian politics worked:
The House of Habsburg and the Imperial bureaucracy wanted absolute power and all the reform sin the the second half of 19th century came about because Monarchy was weakening and it needed to appease the national movements.
From 1848. to 1859. the monarchy was run under absolutism named after minister Bach.
That ended with the Habsburg defeats in the Italian wars. Several years after the Prussians defeated the Habsburgs causing a second crisis.
Habsburgs were forced to open up political life and create the Austro-Hungarian Settlement in 1867., which split the Monarchy into a German and Hungarian halves.
Slovenes,Serbs and Croats have Been in coalitions since 1880-is with varying configurations.
Do you know that Croatia was under Martial law just before the outbreak of the war?
Did you know that anti German and anti Hungarian sentiment was widespread in Croatia before the war?
Did you know many Slovene, Croat and Serbian POWs on the Eastern Front (Galicia) volunteered to fight with Entente on the Southeastern/Balkan Front?
In conclusion I think you based your plot lines on a superficial knowledge of Austro-Hungarian politics in the second half of 19th and early 20th centuries.
I have an Undergraduate Degree in History on FFRI, Rijeka, Croatia currently working on the graduate thesis.
There were several courses which dealt with history of Croatia under the Austro-Hungaria and one optional course which delt with the history of Habsburg Monarchy specifically.
Just so you know I'm not making this up.
That being said:
1.They could have taught me wrongly-unlikely
2.My interpretation is wrong-possible
3.Your interpretation is wrong-possible
Based on the above do you think Austria-Hungary would willingly grant concession that they usually just granted because of weakness or would they go nope, we are strong now time for another Crackdown, because it is far more important to appeal to German and Hungarian nationalists then the Slaves?
How do you think Southslav and Czechoslovakian soldiers and politicians would react to this?
Than you have two remaining problem the Croats and Czechoslovakian movement.
Croatians are weak and they may be repressed and apeased with some minor concessions.
How do we handle the Czechs/Bohemia?
Slovakia belongs to Hungary and they are opposed to even a notion of Slovakian autonomy.
Bohemia can never be incorporated in the German nation so let's just give them limited statehood in order to detach them from other Slavs.
Regarding the German and Japaneses realignment:
1.Germany having the manpower and Ships to occupy Indochina is laughable given their commitments in Europe and Africa
2.How do we address the Elephant in the room of Japan not going after China?
Possibble solution have Germany and Japanese agree to a division of interest spheres:
Japan gets Eastern Siberia, Pacific and Southeast Asia, while Germany gets China.
IJN faction prevails in Japaneses politics and the goal is to create a global maritime empire on the British model, which meant control of China to puppets and dependents rather than direct annexation. In my opinion is the only path to avoid Japan doubling down on it's OTL behavior.
The focus would than be to defeat Entente remnants and Russia and prevent Internationale fro gaining a foothold in the Japaneses Sphere.
What are you talking about they were allied both on internal front and external in the form the South Slavic committee.

@Worffan101 the world set free mod is reworking France, I hope you like it!
First, the syndicalist trees! They are pretty ok
Then we had the red fascist sorelians, also what you would expect
@Augenis what do you think of these two threes?

The syndie trees are nice enough. Good summary of a bunch of demsoc and anarchist ideas.
they're fine I guess, though the foci are more often than not painfully generic.
Have just started a playthrough of KR as the Shandong clique; so far, it's 1936, the Anqing clique has declared war on me after conquering the League of Eight Provinces, and I have only trained one unit of basic infantry...oh, yes, and the Shandong Warlord has been overthrown by some spiritualist bloke, and the KMT have overthrown the Tibetan Government, and I have Anqing troops marching on my soil. Ggggrrr!
Anyone got any ideas for how to fight off the Anqing clique and what to do next? Also does anyone else save the game sometimes to play as new nations as they are formed? I did a while ago so I can play as Hawaii at a later date.

I see, so they are ordinary and should be streamlined to be more creative?
