The WW2 mod for Civilisation 4, "The Road to War", makes certain simplifications in the European situation in order to reduce the number of nations in the game. There's also a sop to the Germans' laws about never mentioning anything to do with the Nazis ever (never mind that this sends exactly the wrong message to everyone else :rolleyes: ) and a few other strange items.

The challenge here is, with a POD after 1900, to bring about this situation in 1939. (I'm ignoring some of the odder things like southern Ireland not existing).

OTL 1939, except:

Britain is already run by Churchill
France is already run by De Gaulle
Germany is a military regime run by Von Papen
The Baltic states are one union, dominated by Latvia
There's an alliance of Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria, dominated by Bulgaria(?)
There's an alliance of Greece and Yugoslavia, dominated by Yugoslavia
There's a union of the Low Countries, dominated by the Netherlands
Norway and Denmark are one state (called 'Norway' in the game, but that's a bit of a challenge too far)
Iceland is part of the United States
Iraq is still an integral part of the British Empire
There's an Iberian union ruled by Franco, and presumably dominated by Spain.

Any thoughts? Semi-serious.
