Unfortunately I don’t think he provided one. All the information is in the photos of the kaissereich in the posts. He does explain the background of the world a bit in one of the posts.

My apologies, I meant that I discovered his stuff on this AH website, on photos of the kaissereich thread and that it was his play through in hearts of iron 4, and his take on it.

A post in theg*ddam*hoi2fan Cold War in his version of the Kaissereich universe. All credits go to theg*ddam*hoi2fan. Soldiers of the Imperial Armed Forces of Russia enter the Imperial State of Kazakhstan to fight the insurgents supported by the UK and Canada. This is during the Central Asia Insurgency where Imperial Russia had fought insurgents wanting to break away and establish their own nations, in Russian territory. The US had aided Russia as well with some troops, advisors, air strikes, the best weapons and special forces. After the fall of the National Restoration Council in America in 1989, Imperial Russia lost support and lost many territories and only keeping a few. The war ended with a truce that Imperial Russia would recognize the newly Central Asian nations and leave them in peace and in return the nations would not interfere in Russian interests within those nations. The Russians were reluctant to agree to the truce and “compromise” but gave in. Today, relations are weak but showing signs of improvement with both Russia and the newly formed republics. Many Russian energy and oil corporations take advantage of the resources in those nations whom are still struggling economic wise and from corruption and ethnic conflict internally.

US paratroopers in a firefight with insurgents near Bayamo, Cuba. As insurgencies were waged throughout Latin America supported by the UK, Canada and the commonwealth, Cuba was also being ravaged by the insurgents and the US military intervened to crush the insurgency and to keep Cuba in the American sphere of influence. After the fall of the National Restoration Council in 1989, the insurgents were able to overthrow the weakened pro-US puppet government in 1991 and establish a nation that’s supported by Canada and the UK. Today, relations between the new Cuban government and the new US government have gotten better.

Unfortunately, there isn’t. The best thing to do is find all posts by the theg*ddam*hoi2fan in this thread. It’ll have explanations of what the world is like in this kaissereich universe. Such as what nations are strongest, differences from otl, and some proxy wars mentioned.

Tanks of the Ottoman Armed Forces outside of Amman, prepare to go to war with insurgents. This is during the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire which had dealt with bloody insurgencies and wars within the empire. The insurgencies ended when the Ottoman Empire fell and was confined only to Turkey which was known as the Ottoman Sultanate of Turkey. Ottoman Empire insurgency 1950-1966 photo taken in 1964

The book cover of Volume 1 of the "Second American Civil War" series, where historian Jack C. Walsh talks about the different factions of the fateful tragedy that befell America many decades ago. The book series received high praise for its detail and directness, and is usually now use as reference material by history teachers all over the world.

The infamous Rooftop Koreans guard against the violence spreading out of the Ghetto
Established in 1942 soon after the end of Reconstruction and solidification of Prophet Armstrong's rule the LA ghetto was one of dozens spread out across the Commonwealth. The LA Ghetto was however especially terrible as almost half a million blacks were forced to live in as little space as possible, with the Ghetto only getting one expansion in its entire history. Rampant poverty, pervasive disease, non-existent education, rampant gang violence and a lack of basic services like running water led to the First Ghetto Uprising in 1963 after a Black man, Joseph Brown, was shot dead for trying to leave the Ghetto. After it was crushed the Ghetto was 'cleansed' of rebels both real and perceived and the blacks were again forced into slavery in all but name. However in 1997 things were at a boiling point. The Commonwealth's recent warming of relations to the Japanese Empire led to an increased amount of Asian immigrants to the Commonwealth usually settling in East Coast cities like LA, Seattle and San Fransisco. In LA there were so many that they were 'granted' their own Ghetto in 1982 derisively called Piss Town, though formally as The Asian Settlement Area. In 1996 the ASA was expanded at the cost of the Ghetto which was shrunk down. When Commonwealth soldiers began evicting blacks from their Towers to make room for construction of a new wall marking the new borders, violence erupted. The myriad of gangs which plagued the Ghetto, most notably the Young Bloods, the Rejected Sons and 18th Street Gang, all stopped fighting each other and began lashing out at Commonwealth troops. The soldiers were unprepared for such coordinated attacks from the so called Sons of Ham and were forced to pull out of the Ghetto and regroup. With no more external enemies to focus their anger on, the gangs turned inwards as riots and anti government revolts tore the Ghetto apart. Fires raged as gun battles erupted across the city. Collaborators, or those who have connections with the Ghetto Government in any way, were killed or forced to flee until finally the California National Guard was deployed. After two weeks of riots 15,000 Guardsmen, with the aid of 2,000 regular Commonwealth soldiers, invaded the Ghetto. Anybody who fired on them was summarily cut down and those who surrendered were spirited away into hastily built 'Settlement Camps' outside the city. Within three days the Ghetto was calm and over the next month it was completely emptied. In the end 152 blacks were killed, 93 were injured and 4 soldiers were killed and 15 were injured.
The Liquidation of the Ghetto showed to the world just how bad conditions were for blacks in America and many nations, led by the Russian Empire and German Kaiserreich, demanded that conditions improve before, in the words of Kaiser Friedrich, "harsh measures were taken". Under mounting international pressure High Minister Garner Armstrong declared the creation of the Black Autonomous Zone in the Deep South. Governed much like an Indian Reservation it was touted by the government as a way for the blacks "to build a better nation, a nation for themselves." without much if any government interference. The whites within the BAZ were still allowed to live there but most chose to move anyway. Today the BAZ is the poorest area of the Commonwealth, even if the Commonwealth hardly acknowledges its existence. But within the BAZ there is a rich oral history of the Ghetto Uprising and the Black Youth activists of today largely mark it as the beginning of the Civil Rights movement in the Commonewalth.

Al Capone at the First Trade Union Congress representing the Irregular Militia, or the Bandit Militia due to it being made up of criminals like himself
Prominent AFL-CIO leaders are publicly executed after Smedley Butler reveals their plot to overthrow Capone
A pictures of the first unit of the ROSS, Capone's secret police
Chairman Frank Nitti, soon after his appointment
Capone wasted no time in paying back his supporters. HIs government was filled to bursting with gangsters from all corners of America and those union delegates who supported them came home richer than they could've imagined. To secure his power however Capone realized he needed to get rid of the unions, at least those who oppose him like the TUUL and the American Serviceman's Union led by Smedley Butler. On January 15th, 1939 Smedley Butler vanished. A vocal critic of Capone for his past actions many assumed he had been killed. They were proven wrong however when Butler, with a few inconspicuous bruises and cuts on his face, appeared before the Trade Union Congress to reveal a sinister plot in the works. He laid out a massive and intricate conspiracy linking the remaining industrialists to, rather conveniently, the unions opposing Capone in a plot to overthrow the CSA and re-establish the US Federal Government. To fight this dastardly Business Plot Capone founded the ROSS, the Revolutionary Office of Strategic Services, led by Frank Nitti to find all enemies of the state. The first to go were the major unions, the AFL-CIO, TUUL and ASU were all combed through and anybody with any suspicion of reactionary thought was taken into custody and vanished. People came forward revealing their neighbors as members of the AFL, TUUL or ASU or who they thought were reactionary. This led to the Great Purge as American society was liquidated of anybody who would oppose The Boss. Its unknown how many died but estimates range from 1 - 2 million. Meanwhile, American society began to markedly change. The Catholic Church which the CSA had denounced in its declaration of independence, was ignored by Capone. Coming from a Catholic Italian-American family he couldn't bring himself to fight an institution so woven into his family and ancestry. The ROSS, and even government employees (who were majority former mobsters) began setting up legalized rackets across the nation. The Rackets all were administered as a government organ in the open. Businesses would pay their local overseers to allow them to stay open without harassment, and those overseers would send some to their boss, who would send some to their boss and so on and so on until the money reached the Big Boss Capone. Sometimes entire cities would set aside a Protection Fund to pay the government wit the largest being NYC's which had ballooned to 15 million dollars a year by 1942. Those who spoke out against this blatant Gangsterism were simply labeled a reactionary and vanished. And so, America convulsed as the Mob bled it dry, all while its leader slowly lost his mind.
Capone had syphilis and gohnorrea which both had begun to eat away at his brain, something which had been evident by as early as the early 1930s. By the end of the 30s however, Capone had gone diagnosably insane. Paranoia fueled his every action, he regularly had his guards changed out and those he thought were not as loyal they should be were shot dead on the spot, usually by Capone himself. Raging parties fueled by drugs and prostitutes were thrown every week at his palatial villa outside Chicago and everybody was required to enjoy themselves or face the harshest punishment. He began to write lists of names dozens of pages long which were to be handed to the ROSS to be executed. On his September 19th, 1940 List he wrote his own name no less than five times. Nitti decided to ignore those. He even started fishing in his pool which of course had no fish. By the end of 1940 however, the Central Committee realized the Boss was all but braindead. So, in a secret vote held without Capone's knowledge they decided Frank Nitti would be the new Chairman. Now all they had to do was unseat Capone. This was however incredibly easy. They just let him pretend to be Chairman for the next seven years. Since he stopped leaving his villa, he could never really know if his orders were carried out so an almost elaborate charade was put on to make Capone think he was running things as he slowly died. Finally on March 1st, 1947 Capone was found dead in his bedroom. His death was announced later that week and his body was buried in a grand mausoleum in Chicago which is now visited by hundreds of thousands of tourists every year. Nitti, his successor was however more brutal than Capone could've hoped to be [...]
