Also, Russia should probably be considered a Satellite Nation of Londim since they had Londimian troops within their borders, but being independent to a point will allow them to have their own foreign policies and alliances (which would explain the Russian General's friendliness to Rome).
I'm not an expert on history, but I kindof assumed that all of the colonial empires were able to keep their colonies for the following reasons, which I hope will get your approvement.
Nazi Germany did not attack Russia during the war, instead they put all of their resources into conquering Great Britain and its colonies, in which they succeeded. On the other side of the globe, the Japanese Empire did not attack the United States, resulting in the United States not getting involved into the war. Thus, the Axis powers managed to conquer a whole lot of Europe, Africa and Asia as well as Russia. However, because of a global economic crash and pressure from the United States, Australia and a coalition of independant nations, a peace treaty was signed by all parties.
It was during this period that a religious revolution occured within the Italian Empire: Mussolini was purged, and the Pope of the catholic church assumed control of the Italian Empire, dubbing it the New Holy Roman Empire and shortly after the Holy Roman Federation. Meanwhile, the Greater German Empire (Nazi Germany) also underwent a minor revolution. National Socialism was thrown down the bin, the then-ruling dictator was disposed of, and the country became a democratic federation.
Because of the weakness of the German presence in Vichy France due to the economic crash and the social revolution, the resistance movements there sparked a civil war. Rome supported these rebels, while the German Federation fought them. A proxy war began between Rome and the German Federation through the civil war in France. Needless to say the French rebels won and re-established the French Empire. Shortly after, similar revolutions erupted in Spain and Portugal as well as many other nations, of which only the former two succeeded in regaining independance. This made Rome eternal allies with France, Spain and Portugal, but shattered the relations between Rome and the German Federation in the process.
Russian rebels managed to make the Russian state semi-independant from Londim, re-establishing the Soviet Russian Federation with its own government, though still partially subject to the German Federation.
As German culture became more and more intertwined with British and eastern European cultures, the state assumed a more neutral name: it would become the Imperial Federation of Londim.Jedi8246 wrote:I think we will probably update the map once FOG ends. Several empires had major cities crushed. Londim is a wreck in particular with it's entire government collapsing. 20 years can change a lot of borders.
Already working on it.
It seems solid to me. I'm sure an expert historian would tell you are not including all the various economic, social, and political variables possible, but who cares. This is for our purposes.
In any case, I would like to repeat a suggestion by ESC from a few weeks ago. I think for FOG2, the nation should no longer be called Londim. Londim, the OP, has no involvement in this whatsoever. We kept it throughout FOG just because, but now would be a perfect time for change. Londim is going to be wrecked after FOG. Economy is wrecked by Nasagori's destruction, the political structure is gone, after Reznov dies without an heir, along with many wanting a restoration to democracy. I have two opinions.
-Londim should be reorganized into a new democracy, with a new name. This process can take the entire 20 years.
-Londim is fragmented back into shapes of some of the former European countries.
Either option works brilliantly. Though with option 1, Londim should lose some of it's land anyway.
After the fall of Londim, Rome and France will rise as the dominant European powers. Whilst their economies will no doubt take a hit due to Omega, they won't suffer as much. The US is unmarked save for New York. All of these great powers will be taking a grander role. They will engage in grabs for land no doubt. Borders will shift. It would be interesting to figure out how many countries would be able to wage war after their economies are wrecked.
