I think Igoria was saying that it was their first playthrough that was neither a European nor a Middle-Eastern faction.

That said, not everyone in the Middle-East is an Arab.

It makes more sense to refer to the middle east as the near east, as it sometimes used to be referred to (the near east being the former Ottoman Empire and Persia, particularly, I believe). Meanwhile, the far east includes China, Japan and Korea, among others. Would not the middle between this near east and far east include India?

Middle East is Arab, South Asia is India, South-East Asia is Indochina, Far East/East Asia is the Asiatic countries; there is established nomenclature.
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.

I find it funny that 'Indochina' basically means 'between Indian and China'.

So, I'm playing as Prussia in Victoria 2, and I want to form the NGF. Sphering Holstein, and Hanover is pretty easy, but in Saxony, Austria bans my embassy before I can get enough influence to sphere them, and I don't know how to invest in other nations. Help?

All I wanted was to be left alone until I could get four colonial nations in South America. Is that so wrong?

Oh in case anyone here was a fan of the National Focus mods for HOI4 which have been rendered unusable with the recent expansion here you are.
The mod :Road to '56 includes national focus trees for Persia, China, Spain, Turkey, Yugoslavia and the Philippines as well as other features and works with the TFV expansion.

We do have a problem when that post edges into encouraging or facilitating that behavior in other people. Generally speaking, when someone posts that they did something, they're implicitly endorsing it. This is particularly true if they talk about an ongoing practice. So while we don't ban admitting to criminal behavior on its own, those posts are probably unacceptable unless they take steps to ensure they don't present as encouraging or facilitating.
