God damn it God damn it God DAMN IT. I asked for ONE TRUCKING province from Morocco, Portugal. Just one. And you didn't even bother to give it to me after I did all of your damn work for you.

Your solution to all problems seems to be to destroy it. I can only imagine what happens in your household when you run out of Cheerios.

FAMILY! BRING ME MORE CEREAL! *Throws bowl at wall*

*Iffy remembers that he lives alone*
Where must we go, we who wander this wasteland, in search for our better selves?
In Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws
The only shadow that the Desert knows:—
"I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone,
"The King of Kings; this mighty City shows
"The wonders of my hand." The City's gone,
Nought but the Leg remaining to disclose
The site of this forgotten Babylon.

We wonder, and some Hunter may express
Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace,
He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess
What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place.

New England just joined the FSA. The FSA is now almost as strong as the CSA. America is is holding together pretty well, they have managed to keep Pennsylvania and Yucatan while maintaining order in Oregon Country and Dakota Republic territory (only lost two states to the Dakota Republic). Now, they're a democracy and getting a crap ton of immigrants. The CSA has militarized heavily since the last war but has fallen out of GP status.

California is on the warpath, Deseret and the Dakota Republic have both been full annexed by California.Both California and the New American Alliance are getting many immigrants.


It is shaping up to be an interesting fight between the five powers in America, three of which are weak but are getting a lot of immigrants.

For bonus points, you can conquest most of their land, leave them a few provinces, vassalise them, and now you've basically got automatic colonisation. A friend of mine got over 21 subjects that way. Subjugate an AI coloniser, let them form colonial nations, form your own colonial nations, integrate your subject, and now you have two Colonial Brazils, two Colonial La Platas, etc. He didn't get the achievement, though, playing on the wrong version.

Lol, the FSA, California and Mexico all declared war on the CSA. The USA didn't because they declared war on the New American Alliance and the New American Alliance didn't because their allied with Mexico.

The CSA is winning all three wars.

Well
it's March of 1943 and Germany is at war with almost all of the Western
Hemisphere. Only Argentina, Cuba, Peru, and the Central American states
remain neutral.

There's just one problem.

Germany never invaded the Soviet Union.
It's 1943 and the Comintern (which consists of the Soviet Union,
Mongolia, and Spain) is just sitting here massively building up their
armies and Germany isn't taking the bait.
At this rate it'll be 1945 before war breaks out and the Soviets will
just walk to Berlin.

EDIT: They FINALLY declared war on the Soviet Union on 5 May 1943. France is a full-fledged member of the Axis, but has almost no troops on the Spanish border. This is gonna be piss easy.

I finished a custom nation game on easy difficulty. My two main allies throughout most of this game, through thick and thin, have been Assam and Noapamai (CN). Russia has been my ally in the last century or so, although they've been less loyal than Assam and Noapamai. Vijayanagar was an ally for a long time before they broke their alliance with me and I wiped them off the map over the course of fifty-odd years. After I conquered Sind in the first decade of the 1800s I refrained from going to war. My goal for this game was to just control India.

Windmolen. A CN I created that owned the entirety of the Netherlands region. France got fucked by them and Aragon and then Windmolen was like "Northern Iberia looks pretty delicious. I'll just take that for myself as well."

Adolf Hitler committed suicide on 12 October 1944.
Berlin fell on 19 October 1944.
After a short-lived rump government formed in Copenhagen, Germany unconditionally surrendered to Spain on 25 December 1944.

Here's how the war ended.

The French cities of Bordeaux, Agen, Toulouse, Beziers, and all territory between those cities and the Pyrenees would be ceded directly to Spain.
The remaining territory of France would be given to the People's Republic of France, a puppet state under Spain.
All of mainland Italy, including the western half of Slovenia and all of Sicily, would be given to the Italian Union, a Spanish puppet state. Istria and Sardinia would be given to the Republic of Italy, a British puppet state. Corsica, occupied by rebels at the time of the treaty, would be put under joint French and Spanish military jurisdiction, to be resolved at a later date.
Austria would be recreated as the Austrian Socialist republic, a puppet government under spain.
The cities of Arlon, Liege, Mons, and Namur would be given to the Socialist Republic of Wallonia, a Spanish puppet state.
The cities of Brussels, Bruges, Antwerpen, and Hasselt would be given to the Flanders People's Republic, a Spanish puppet state.
All the former territory of the Netherlands would come under the control of the Dutch Socialist Union, a Spanish puppet state.
The city of Eupen would go under Spanish military control, to be partitioned at a later date.
The city of Luxembourg and its surrounding territories would be given to the Free Socialist City of Luxembourg, a Spanish puppet state.
All of Germany west of the Oder–Neisse line would be set up under the German Democratic Republic, a socialist government and a puppet regime of Spain.
All of Germany east of the Oder-Neisse line would be ceded to the Polish Soviet Socialist Republic, a puppet regime of the Soviet Union. Under a separate treaty, Königsberg and the rest of Ostpreußen was ceded to the USSR directly.
Denmark was put under the control of the People's Republic of Denmark, a Spanish puppet state.
The cities of Oslo, Stavanger, and Bodo were put under the control of the Norwegian People's Republic, a Spanish puppet state.
Fredrikstad was occupied by the spanish military, similar to Euden.
The rest of Norway was ceded to the United Kingdom for them to figure out.

The original treaty called for the regions of Bohemia and Moravia to turn into the Socialist Republic of Prague, a Spanish puppet state, but the Soviet Union intervened and offered the western half of Slovakia to Madrid in order to recreate a unified Czechoslovakia. Madrid eagerly agreed, and the Czechoslovak Soviet Socialist Republic was created under Spanish puppetry. East Slovakia was annexed by the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, a part of the USSR.

Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria were recreated under Soviet puppetdom.

Greece and Yugoslavia were originally put under joint military administration between the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union, but were quickly partitioned. Montenegro, Bosnia, Herzegovina, the southern half of Slovenia, and the southwestern half of Croatia were given to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, an Allied-aligned independent nation. The remaining parts of Slovenia and Croatia were put under British military administration. Albania was recreated as the Albanian Republic under British overseeance. Serbia and Kosovo were annexed by the Soviet Union outright, to be partitioned later.
Macedonia (both the 'nation' of Macedonia and the region in Greece) was annexed by Bulgaria, alongside Thessaly. The rest of Greece was set up into an independent democratic government loyal to the Allies.


Africa was also partitioned. Algeria, Madagascar the northern half of Morocco, Western Sahara, Mauritania, Liberia, Ghana, Guinea, the Gold Coast, Burkina, and half of Mali were ceded to Spain. The rest was given to the United Kingdom



All that was left was to defeat Finland and Japan, and the new world order can begin.
