It's back! ...And Y I K E S. We predicted Poland would suffer, and now it has finally died under German chemical bombardment. Though I'm not sure how successful it really could be, given the USA couldn't defoliate all Vietnam in OTL.
And sweden's also toast, treated as an agricultural colony. Though this won't be as useful as the Germans hoped for suppressing resistance- guerilla movements don't make much use of heavy industry anyway, and guns can be run in from the Internationale.
It's shaping up to be an arms race between the Internationale industrializing and Germany finding new allies/plunder. And speaking of airborne terror, given that the Soviets just acquired a bomber force however limited... those Soviet oil fields are awfully close to the front lines e he he he he he
Wait that map- what happened, I know Brazil took over a large chunk of the Entente's empire, but how and when did they get Madagascar and even Egypt?
Also I quite wonder what the Netherlands is up to- the other colonial empires of the world are in a lot of flux to say the least and it may well spread to the East Indies.

That would make sense if the victors of the Great War are in any remotely functional state- as opposed to Phase 4 being a borderline broken-backed war where the victor hobbles over the finish line with their society falling apart, barely capable of returning to civilian functioning under the pressure of demographic and economic collapse. Plus, right now both Germany and the Internationale seem focused on the continent, without any buildup of capabilities for expeditionary warfare. France is closest since they could take Algeria, but they'll also at biggest risk of demographic crippling.That being said, I will say that the victors in Europe will ultimately still be in a position to project power globally, not necessarily because they'll have strong economies or anything, but more because the entire continent's been spending over a quarter of a century waging constant warfare against each other and whoever comes out on top will have an incredibly capable military and society that has lived under an extreme version of total war for decades and will be able to exert that military power outwards, even if actually living in Europe will be pretty miserable for obvious reasons.
