History: Following the end of the First World War, the countries of Central America were relatively uninvolved with world affairs. But in 1921, most nations of Central America (Guatemala, Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador) gathered in the city of Managua, in which would be later known as the Managua Conference. There, the nations attending agreed on a diplomatic and military alliance, the Central American Defense Organization.

Time went by, 3 years to be exact, and the CADO member-states, under threat of economic depression, declared the Federation of Central America. Later, in 1932, the British and Central Americans agreed on the Juan-Jones Treaty,ceding Belize and Jamaica to the FCA in exchange for 1) A permanent British military base in Jamaica, 2) Free passage of British naval vessels, aircraft, and soldiers through the FCA, and 3) Inclusion of the FCA into the United Kingdom's sphere of influence. When the Treaty was signed, the FCA became the USCA, with it's capital moved to Guatemala City, and the original members (along with Belize and Jamaica) became states of the new United States of Central America. Shortly after the founding of the USCA, the Communist Party of Central America was banned, and a paramilitary force founded to prevent Communist revolution. The USCA quickly built up it's military, although it continued to be equipped with WW1-era military equipment. To this day, the USCA patrols it's waters and borders with units of the regular military rather than border guards and coast guards.
Any other things you might want to note: the phrase "Sphere of Influence" in the treaty is defined as: where the UK can intervene in any matters relating to the USCA it sees fit, militarily or diplomatically, and Central American laws do not automatically apply to British citizens in the USCA, instead British laws apply to British subjects, as well as a guarantee of free trade between the two nations.

No.

Mostly because RONA has roughly 20,000 troops sitting in and around Harbin, who would be fairly pissed off if the CPC took over.

However, if the CPC went the historical route with the Long March and all that, they could probably negotiate with Japan and the RONA forces in Harbin to divide up China between them.

[Of The Rnclave]

If my apps not good enough, I'm gonna reserve the USA and rework it

[The Jonathanian States]

Then we have the People's Republic of China which is currently in the middle of a civil war that will probably last for a while longer, and will take years -- if not decades -- to recover from.

Then we have the USSA, which isn't even a thing anymore. Buj tried hard to get his app accepted, but Jon rejected the history over and over -- and I sincerely doubt that Rnclave will do any better (no offense to you, Rnclave, I just think the Red Scare is too prevalent here).

Yeah, in ten, fifteen years, the Communists would be practically unstoppable as they recovered and built up, except -- and here's the kicker -- Communists are human. They don't think in a hivemind. They don't all agree all the time. In fact, it's likely -- if not inevitable -- that there would be an ideological split between the USSR and the PRC, or the USSR and the USSA, or the PRC and the USSA, and so on. Even if all three were communist, they'd probably spend more time arguing and fighting and opposing each other than anything.

So, no, Calt, I don't think the "Communist bloc that controls three of the world's great powers, about a fifth of the world's population and a huge amount of it's natural resources" is too powerful, because I don't think it's a unified bloc, and I don't think it's anywhere near as powerful as you and others keep claiming.

Totally agree with you. The argument I have seen is: "Well, they have 3 GP's". Sure, the bloc does but this argument is so incomplete. It ignores the fact that there will most likely be an ideological divide in the bloc (one could even argue there is one between the USSR and the USSA). Russia has been beaten pretty badly and no matter what others say, there is one truth: Russia can't expand anywhere. I have read all the treaties trying to go around them and acquire some influence back and there is literally no place to go - Baltic states? Nope. East Asia? Nope. Africa? Nope. Latin America? That's under the USSA's SoI (the divide I mentioned before? Yes, it is this). Western Europe? Hell no. If anything we should see Russia slowly lose power an influence just like what happened to Spain when it lost its Armada.

So the argument that the Communist bloc is too powerful does not really take into account the reality of things and is so broad that makes it inaccurate. I am rather starting to think that it is because the Communist bloc is now barely able to somewhat be an equal competitor against the other two blocs, that some players are saying that the Communist bloc is "too OP".

No, the red scare period of this rp indeed has come to its end. But, and that I must add, assuming some extent of historical consistency, once the Communist block does not force all others to cooperate the chance of them doing so/them not falling back into the original faction lines is reduced significantly. I mean, as an example to go in line with some historical consistency, Germany already once kinda supported a communist movement in order to weaken its enemies. Who says it won't do so again. Or that Britain won't hasn't/won't learn(ed) from them?

Fascist Bloc OP 2 Medium powers

I didn't know Brazil counted for 2.

So should I be anything or should I just leave?

Am I to interpret that as the USSA having been dropped?
In that case, sure be something, or don't - if you aren't interested. I know of having had both cases myself - where I got disinterested after an option I was invested in got a negative, but also ones were I changed my attempts on someplace else.

What happened to the USSA?

Communist USA doesn't look doable.

I wonder if a USA+Canada would be doable. Idk how but I wonder.

It indeed is quite hard. The best momentum would most likely be a Great depression, maybe somehow inflated due to more inner trade due to less trans-oceanic trade?

I'd assume that'd be easiest to build on in the early After-war years. Canadians were in Europe, and would continue to be so for a while, most likely. It would make Canada easy prey and Britain influenceable. Maybe US economic support for the debts they did already mass up in the US in return for recognizing an ex post facto occupation?

Reserved Ethiopia 112
International crisis time!

Since it doesn't seem to have been noticed.

Sorry, has been noted now.

Communist USA doesn't look doable.

I wonder if a USA+Canada would be doable. Idk how but I wonder.

Do it, align vaguely with Mitteleuropa for all the win.

To be completely honest, that would somewhat likely tilt the OPness to us. My OP-duty aside: DOoooo EET! ^{But seriously, it'll be quite OP. Just as I said earlier, I'm not for declining apps for those reasons, but I will somewhat discourage it as OP.}

why would you need communist USA to align with communist?

put the kingfish in power, make his populism sort of left-wing, done.

That might work.

Get someone else in power who does, via coup or something. There are probably plenty of candidates.

Why would there be a coup tho? And what's the actual benefit of Canada?

No reason, therefore not that.

What's the benefit of Canada?
For one, resources. Second: By taking it you prevent an hypothetical communist revolution in Britain constructing a bridgehead on the American continent. And, most glorious and important of all, third:
MANIFEST DESTINY! Also, making Monroe proud. You have removed the furreigners from the 'murrican continent. Now you advance to the next level of Southern Murrica.

Stop Flamebaiting.

I'm not. I'm analyzing.

Italy has nothing going for it. It's only ally is on the other side of the Atlantic. It lost Venice. It has no colonies. What makes you think it's any more significant than Albania or Belgium?

Industry and Population, therefore also hypothetical military.

I'm sure some die-hard nationalist would have the motive, even if he is kicked out of power shortly after by someone else within the couping faction.

And yeah, resources. And you can eliminate British influence in North America.

Say the anti-British sentiment gets ramped up in the USA following the German victory. Make an alliance (may be secret alliance, and if so word is leaked to Britain). Harding wins in 1921, in a surprise move, he takes the US to-war after faked attacks on Saint Pierre and Miquelon. Annexes Canada for nationalist sentiment. British is at a weak period of time when this happens. Yay for me. Yaddah-yaddah.

In general, that could work. (I suppose US-German relations after the agreement of defining spheres would be quite amicable). Though you'd have to have something cause those anti-British sentiments. Maybe agree on something with Seg regarding the debts or something? Britain declining to pay interest for a certain period?

I noticed that. That is no reason for irrealism. Just as Buj has to face that challenge, so do you. You have taken a great challenge upon yourself - making the US socialist or communist. If you can make it happen, it'll be massively significant. If not... well then not.
EDIT: To mean, I'm not letting reasons for revolutions be invented out of thin air. /EDIT.

But that'd most likely require some sort of trigger as well. I suppose as Lunas proposed earlier, jump-starting it with the Great Depression could work. Looking from there what one could do.

So fix the history and it's good to go?

Unless I am mistaken I only looked at the history, amongst others as other values can be influenced by history.
(Say, I'll let a military Junta have a different military than the Agrarian-Pacifist union after they performed a coup, for example).

That actually sounds really interesting. Do it. You did reserve the USA first after all, so you should get it.

Never actually reserved it and I did it after him, but at this point after the first reservations there should be none on it and it's just best quality app. But Rnclave is about to be accpeted so idc.

It's best quality app by now, yes.

Was I accepted?
911(?)

All that have been formally accepted are on the second post. So not yet.

I was thinking about making Sweden into a Proletarian Dictatorship but seeing how all the talks went that the Communist Bloc was OP I decided against it.

This's thread's Red scare is over. We have passed over that stage and might be advancing in into the German Scare. Or not.

Military
Ground Forces:
The Royal Swedish Army is a conscription army consisting of some 20 000 active and another 500 000 conscripted reserves. The conscripts each have 18 months of training at the age of 20 and then periodically have war games for one month every second year. The training is of medium-high quality whilst the equipment is of high quality and primarily domestic from Swedish Companies. However, the supplies and equipments to the Royal Swedish Army is sometimes lacking. Main focus of the army lies on the defense of the nation's borders and so offensive warfare is rarely trained and the army is poorly equipped for it. The army only has a few regiments of tanks, about as many cavalry regiments.
Naval Forces:
The Royal Swedish Navy is one of the larger navies operating inside the Baltic Sea, hopelessly dwarfed by its German counterpart however. The conscripts receive a longer training period, 24 months, and are better equipped and rarely lack supplies. In total the Royal Swedish Navy consists of 8 "Pansarskepp", 16 Destroyers, 24 submarines and a number of torpedo boats and smaller frigates and corvettes. The Royal Swedish Navy is well equipped to defend Swedish Territorial Waters, but is hopelessly outmatched on the High Seas.
Air Forces:
The Royal Swedish Air Force is the smallest branch of the military, but is starting to get more noticed by the High Command. Currently there are only a few flotillas placed around the realm, and the largest problem is a lack of pilots and educated troops to the air force. In total it does not consist of more than 150 aircrafts or such, most fighters but also some reconaissance.

Other
History:
1917: On the verge of a revolution due to trade embargoes from Britain and widespread hunger throught out the lands, the King reformed the government and appeased the people by allowing members of the social democrats into the government. This led to a more stable realm, despite a shaky conservative-social democratic government that could ride out until the end of the war. The King however managed to keep and even strengthen his power, as the social democrats could no longer act in oppositon against him.

1922: After some years in the same government and the war now seeming far away the lack of a unity government dissapitated, however the Social Democrats and the conservatives had grown fond of eachother and as such the Social Democrats accepted more social conservative politics into their ideology, and ousted the last communists from the party.

1928: The first election where women are allowed to vote, it becomes a great success for the Social Democrats who gain more than 40% of the votes and together with support from conservative parties form the new government, Per Albin Hansson becomes the first Social Democratic Prime Minister and initates the "Folkhemmet" project and a row of nationalisations of certain industries are made and the infected conflict between the industry and labour unions is solved via the state.

1936: The Social Democrats gets re-elected for a second time and also gains their own majority in both chambers of parliament and the "Folkhemmet" project continues, albeit with more conservative and christian influences.

Thank you, will be reviewed.

Larger than all the balkans combined. (I'm Ignoring Austria here)
I had colonies and thus still have a Blue water navy which was one of the Finest in the world at this time.
Military has been reformed
Germany and Italy have a connection
Industry is great, we have a Larger Industry once again than like most of Eastern Europe and Spain

Larger than the Balkans minus Austria, because Austria is the only significant Balkan Army. That's like saying Argentina is a superpower because it dwarves South America, except Brazil and Chile.
The blue water navy is outdated because you lost your colonies a long time ago, and if you're upkeeping it then you're wasting way too much on your navy.
'Reform' =/= Powerful
So Germany is your best non-fascist friend, and you're an acquaintance at best.
But not close to Mittleurope, UK, Japan, USA or China, all of which are powers. Plus your industry is all concentrated in the North, and you lost quite a bit of it with Venice.

By your logic Persia is a world power and Germany is the Galactic Empire

Palpatine = Hitler (also, Stormtroopers = SA) and Galactic Empire = Third Reich.
Therefore Weimar Republic = Galactic Republic, meaning that whatever ruled those lands before the Galactic Republic was the German Empire.

Most likely.

Good. I plan to have a succession crisis, and a civil war isn't any fun without large powers competing in a proxy war.
I also feel that Britain and Germany should realistically be rivals in this TL, and I intend to ensure that by getting them to fight proxy wars.

They are in will be, and our talks were mainly during the Red Scare in order to limit it - or at least so I see it.

I'm thinking of reserving either the Ukraine or the Don Kossack Host, how much freedom would I have to build their respective histories? What has already been established about each state? And information would be appreciated.

There is an in progress app for the Ukraine. That means it technically is open, but unless you can outdo it in quality before the other one (which is finished, just stuck in a certain dispute) is accepted, your attempt will have been at waste.

Other information:The FSA is a textbook Socialist nation, their reforms passed having severely increased the Working classes situation, as well as almost abolishing classes. The Factory funds bill, passed in 1925, used government subsidies to reopen almost 1,000 closing factories, as well as putting these factories under government control, which meant by 1935, the government controlled 30% of manufacturing and the resources with which to produce things. The Better Farms bill, gave the government complete control of Commercial farming, using this power they expanded these farms to be some of the biggest companies in the US, also the government began a process of increasing American manufacturing and agricultural output by 50%, these extra goods being sold to poorer countries, albeit at lower prices, but giving them even more income. Staring in 1925, following the first official election of a socialist to office, the USA began a series of "5 Year plans" ( Working like the USSR's IRL, without the purges ) these 5 Year plans were known for jump starting the economy, and saving the FSA in 1929, from a terrible recession, these plans have put the FSA in an economic boom since 1930, and have made the FSA one if the top economies in the world, and a lifeline to many smaller nations.

History:

1918: A minute of silence is announced from the steps of the White House after word of British-French defeat reaches the USA, the Anglo-Saxon nation boils in rage silently, stepping silently even more from the world stage after this tragic war. Small panic begins to spread in the US of a American-German war, but these fears are quelled with German actions after the war,and the weakness of the German state afterwards.

1919: Under popular demands from the Republicans to build a standing military in the case of a Second Great War, the Democrats cave and pass a bill expanding the military. The Army expands to 250,000 and several other branches expirence similar expansions. This year also see's a dip in the American economy, not a severe dip but one noticeable enough to reach the news.

1920: The American people watch in fear as the economy once again dips the year charcterized more by the constant up and down of the American economy more than anything else, but with some work, the Democrat-Republican congress manage to grasp back control of the economy, slowly standing it back up and strengthening it. A new party is formed, the Worker's Party of America, a party that quickly gains ground in the Middle and Lower class, but is detested by the Upper, due to their policies removing them from such high social status.

1924: Upton Sinclair, the presidential canidate of the Workers Party, is shot on the day of his enuguration, by a Hit man funded by a previously popular Upper class sportsman. A mob of angry Workers party supporters charged the mans mansion, mutilating the man and hanging him from a lamp post on his street. This night was refered to nationwide as the Night of burning banks, as almost 15,000 Workers party supporters took to the streets, burning down the Banks they believed carried the Upper classes funds, the funds were pooled in the street and set ablaze, as well as the banks that held them, the Bank workers hung and set ablaze as well. For 3 weeks everynight the Socialist took to the streets in extremely violent riots, recorded as some of the worst in history. The army as called to quell these riots, a force of 5,000 supporters took to the streets, digging trenches outside of cities and stringing farm barbwire across large expanses of land. The Socialists armed with hunting rifles and an assortment of weapons fought off the Army for 9 days, before a large infantry charge overwhelmed them, and a gas attack drove them from the city. National outrage followed, the use of force enraged millions, even more refusing to go to work the next day or pay taxes until the government fixed the situation.

1925-1927: California, now considered the most liberal and socialist state in the union, declared independance, Workers Part supporters flocking to the state by the thousands, a ragtag Army o Farmers and Labouers was thrown together and given military rifles. The US Army was mobilized, 60,000 men heading to California, or the Californian Peoples Union, propaganda posters consisting of images of the Soldiers riding in vehicles holding rifles and laughing and cheering was passed around, giving more hate to the USA. The first battle was in Los Angleas, the soldiers allowed to pass through without knowledge of the Cali Army waiting for them in the city. The battle lasted 2 days, the humiliated US army quickly pushed almost completly out of California within 2 weeks. Although the Army regrouped and pushed back in again, more and more men were sacrificed to the meat grinder as the Army continued trying to wrestle control of the State back. The final descive war was not in California, but in New York, a group of Anarcho-Socialists burst bombs in the Stock exchange and all over big corporations throughout New York, crippling the already strained economy. These attacks continued throughout the US until the Army met the Californians in Las Vegas, a Californian Army of 10,000 fought a police force and militia of 2,500. The bloodiest Urban warfare battle in US History followed as gruesome attacks began being fought in close quarters. But in the end, California managed to win it's independance, the weakened USA unwilling to continue fighting it's own people.

1928: Life in the USA continued, albeit more strictly, as nationwide Martial law was declared in order to get a grip upon it's citizens after the War. While these actions were supposed to quell the Red Fever running wild throughout the US, these actions only served to anger the people more, as almost 50% of the Population now identified with the Workers Party cause, California only serving to increase these problems. California sensing the USA's weakness moved and absorbed Nevada and Arizona, forming what they called the rightful US government, the Free States of America, a Federal Presidential Socialist Oligarchy. The freedoms guarnteed by the new nation enticed million to flock to it, the symbol of freedom created more correctly lined up with their image of the USA then the actual USA did.

1929-1931: The Great depression begins. The collapse of the economy serves to show only one thing to the FSA, that the USA was not the rightful government. The now professionally trained army began the march east, capturing every state they could grab, most just simply joining the FSA. The US Army, while fighting to the last man, was hopelessly outclassed by the FSA, focus in the USA having moved to the economy, while the superior FSA economy allowed for some money to the military. The War of Free State Unification ended in 1931, with D.C. being gassed and the politicans within beheaded by angry citizens. While in San Fransisco, Eugene V. Debs proclaimed victory from the steps of the new White House, Unification complete. While the war was successful, the Depressions's effects did not ignore the FSA, bills passed in the FSA were passed in the new territory they had gotten, such as the Factory Funds bill, opening nearly 1,000 closing factories and putting them under the governments control. These bills were accepted greatly by the populace. With this, the first 5 Year Plan was passed ( Similar to the USSR's) this plan was to centralize the economy and put more focus on industry, the first plan expanded industry by 50%, as well as reducing imports of foreign goods by 30%. The plans main idea was to convert the economy to an almost textbook Marxist economy, albeit with a few changes to fit the American people. This plan also called for the purging of those responsible for the USA's collapse, the the plan was followed through with.

1936: The First 5 year plan finishes with untold success. The plan works so well that 3 more are passed for the following 15 years. Life in the FSA had become more than anyone could ask, the freedoms guarnteed by them more than any other nation in the world. The economy had returned to being one of the greatest in the world, the Free States had become a Marxist paradise, that would have made Karl Marx himself weep. The Army was expanded and modernized, the Springfield being replaced with the M1 Garand. Because of the actions undertaken by the USA, the Army was limited to 250,000 during peace. The Navy expirenced the greatest expansion it had gotten in history, with many ships being built to protect American trade.

1937-1938: Industry in the FSA reaches levels that are revered worldwide for their expert ability and quality, as the FSA came to be one of the strongest economies worldwide, it's power unmatched. This news was announced by President Eugene V. Debs from the steps of the White House, waht followed was 3 days of celebration unseen by the Free States in a long time

If anything needs changed tell me

Will be looked at.

Well, now that the "fearsome and OP" Comintern has crumbled before the IC has even taken place, I guess I can apply for a German-dominated France instead. Fascist France wouldn't jive too well with Britain, and bland France is, well, bland. Viva la Mitteleuropa (spelling?)!

Mhm... a German-dominated France would be one that recognizes its two losses and accepted them. That's quite a massive step. Germany-After WW2 massive step. Not impossible, but interesting.
Fascist France wouldn't jive well with Britain, but neither would German France, eh? Bland France being bland, ok.... Mitteleuropa is Mitteleuropa, yes. But the option you left out is communist France, Exactly because the OP Comintern has crumbled you could join into it now, to counterweigh against the losses they just might have had.

Reserve Cossack State, 112

Doubt it Italy is super Monarchist.

Ok. I guess neutral Republic of Russia.

Then you should tell that Lunas, as they might have republican-white forces which I don't think would fight against an actual republic.

Yea. The Red Scare in the OOC pretty much killed the Communist bloc, so it is now between the Anglo-Japanese bloc and the German bloc.

I would have prefered the reds. A three way power struggle would have been much more fun. And now there is no chance I'll even risk an invasion into Europe. Guess I'll go stomp around in the colonies xp

I would have liked an actual three-way struggle as well. I suppose that's what you get when you decide those non-OP plebs can decide things on their own

Well, there goes any real chance of me participating in a war on the continent.

To be fair, if Britain, France, and Russia got their buttocks handed to them on a platter, and USGA is now firmly back in the Germany camp (after the brief dabbling in Communism), France would get steamrolled quite quickly by any major German offensive.

I mean, in the aftermath of the war, France's economy must have been in absolute shambles. Their national pride was completely crushed, and they were collectively castrated as a nation and a people -- both through the loss in the war, and the loss of their colonies. They literally lost every major colony (I think every colony period?) to Germany, while Britain skated by with minor concessions and whatnot. They'd resent the hell out of Britain and Germany, but don't have the industrial might to stand against either of them -- nor would they likely be able to build up the industrial base quickly enough, given a Great Depression. From 1919 to probably mid 30s, France should be in a completely pitiful state -- probably with a lot of government changes and massive turmoil.

They got to keep consolation Madagascar. [That should totally be a saying in your France. "To get a Madagascar" =1) To get a consolation price 2) To get an irrelevant mercy in defeat 3)Something like that]
Actually, France surrendered before Britain did, and due to no uncovered debts is not as if Britain could have just sponsored France into eternity even if it wanted to. So I'm not sure if they'd hate them that much....

Don't Pussy out Hannover or Val, So what people are scared, use that.

I am not quitting the RP

Hey, I'd toss it on Jon for denying my USSA

It's not pussying out when the communist USA isn't all that great (in terms of power) compared to the one I had. They literally can't because the OP"s nation is, well, OP.

^ True that

Not only for that, but also because Austria isn't going communist, Spain isn't either. The USSA is gone. China seems to not communist either. Russia can't be a one-nation bloc.

Spain and Austria both went back on communism after the Great Red Scare, IIRC. With things changing, that might as well. Spain and Austria going back would reduce Mitteleuropa significantly and tilt things back to the Comintern, but also prevent it from being immediately OP. Things like this are hard to balance. (And yes, by default Germany is the one OP country, with some forms of the US being the potential other one).

History: Following the end of the First World War, the countries of Central America were relatively uninvolved with world affairs. But in 1921, most nations of Central America (Guatemala, Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador) gathered in the city of Managua, in which would be later known as the Managua Conference. There, the nations attending agreed on a diplomatic and military alliance, the Central American Defense Organization.

Time went by, 3 years to be exact, and the CADO member-states, under threat of economic depression, declared the Federation of Central America. Later, in 1932, the British and Central Americans agreed on the Juan-Jones Treaty,ceding Belize and Jamaica to the FCA in exchange for 1) A permanent British military base in Jamaica, 2) Free passage of British naval vessels, aircraft, and soldiers through the FCA, and 3) Inclusion of the FCA into the United Kingdom's sphere of influence. When the Treaty was signed, the FCA became the USCA, with it's capital moved to Guatemala City, and the original members (along with Belize and Jamaica) became states of the new United States of Central America. Shortly after the founding of the USCA, the Communist Party of Central America was banned, and a paramilitary force founded to prevent Communist revolution. The USCA quickly built up it's military, although it continued to be equipped with WW1-era military equipment. To this day, the USCA patrols it's waters and borders with units of the regular military rather than border guards and coast guards.
Any other things you might want to note: the phrase "Sphere of Influence" in the treaty is defined as: where the UK can intervene in any matters relating to the USCA it sees fit, militarily or diplomatically, and Central American laws do not automatically apply to British citizens in the USCA, instead British laws apply to British subjects, as well as a guarantee of free trade between the two nations.

Military
Ground Forces:
The Royal Swedish Army is a conscription army consisting of some 20 000 active and another 500 000 conscripted reserves. The conscripts each have 18 months of training at the age of 20 and then periodically have war games for one month every second year. The training is of medium-high quality whilst the equipment is of high quality and primarily domestic from Swedish Companies. However, the supplies and equipments to the Royal Swedish Army is sometimes lacking. Main focus of the army lies on the defense of the nation's borders and so offensive warfare is rarely trained and the army is poorly equipped for it. The army only has a few regiments of tanks, about as many cavalry regiments.
Naval Forces:
The Royal Swedish Navy is one of the larger navies operating inside the Baltic Sea, hopelessly dwarfed by its German counterpart however. The conscripts receive a longer training period, 24 months, and are better equipped and rarely lack supplies. In total the Royal Swedish Navy consists of 8 "Pansarskepp", 16 Destroyers, 24 submarines and a number of torpedo boats and smaller frigates and corvettes. The Royal Swedish Navy is well equipped to defend Swedish Territorial Waters, but is hopelessly outmatched on the High Seas.
Air Forces:
The Royal Swedish Air Force is the smallest branch of the military, but is starting to get more noticed by the High Command. Currently there are only a few flotillas placed around the realm, and the largest problem is a lack of pilots and educated troops to the air force. In total it does not consist of more than 150 aircrafts or such, most fighters but also some reconaissance.

Other
History:
1917: On the verge of a revolution due to trade embargoes from Britain and widespread hunger throught out the lands, the King reformed the government and appeased the people by allowing members of the social democrats into the government. This led to a more stable realm, despite a shaky conservative-social democratic government that could ride out until the end of the war. The King however managed to keep and even strengthen his power, as the social democrats could no longer act in oppositon against him.

1922: After some years in the same government and the war now seeming far away the lack of a unity government dissapitated, however the Social Democrats and the conservatives had grown fond of eachother and as such the Social Democrats accepted more social conservative politics into their ideology, and ousted the last communists from the party.

1928: The first election where women are allowed to vote, it becomes a great success for the Social Democrats who gain more than 40% of the votes and together with support from conservative parties form the new government, Per Albin Hansson becomes the first Social Democratic Prime Minister and initates the "Folkhemmet" project and a row of nationalisations of certain industries are made and the infected conflict between the industry and labour unions is solved via the state.

1936: The Social Democrats gets re-elected for a second time and also gains their own majority in both chambers of parliament and the "Folkhemmet" project continues, albeit with more conservative and christian influences.

That aside?

How is the Don Cossack Host so far? Anything I need to incorporate into the history regarding Russia/Ukraine/anything?

[Tylos]

Well, now that the "fearsome and OP" Comintern has crumbled before the IC has even taken place, I guess I can apply for a German-dominated France instead. Fascist France wouldn't jive too well with Britain, and bland France is, well, bland. Viva la Mitteleuropa (spelling?)!

Mhm... a German-dominated France would be one that recognizes its two losses and accepted them. That's quite a massive step. Germany-After WW2 massive step. Not impossible, but interesting.

Well, yes, for the first few years, France would be ultranationalist, and any German that set foot outside the embassy better speak perfect French, or they'd probably be spit at/attacked/ignored haughtily.

However, I'm considering a France where a national malaise settled across the country in the aftermath of the war. Sure, massive anger and ultranationalism, but after that doesn't do anything for a while, they just sort of collectively slip into a depression -- the economy sucks, they've lost their colonies, they've been humiliated massively on the international scale, abandoned by their allies who managed to keep their colonial empires, etc, etc. The ultranationalists who promised reforms after the defeat just never manage to accomplish enough to give France a fighting chance against Germany, but barely manage to keep France's economy afloat and preserve the government against the riots and unrest everywhere.

In this, France just quietly slips into the German sphere of influence, dominated by domestic unrest and economic turmoil, unable to withstand Germany's political, economic, and cultural influence.

Fascist France wouldn't jive well with Britain, but neither would German France, eh? Bland France being bland, ok.... Mitteleuropa is Mitteleuropa, yes. But the option you left out is communist France, Exactly because the OP Comintern has crumbled you could join into it now, to counterweigh against the losses they just might have had.

Er, miscommunication here.

Fascist France would be if I was planning on standing with Britain against Germany. Same with Communist France. However, as neither of those ideologies would fit well with the British, I'd go with the bland France, which could go either way -- but if bland France sides with Britain, then we just get WW1, which is dull. German-influenced/dominated France is an interesting twist.

Also, no to Communist France. There is no Comintern anymore. Communist China is gone, USGA is gone, USSA is gone, Spain's gone, and the USSR is either super weak or gone.

Communist France at the height of its power in our time line would be interesting. Communist France in this timeline would be stomped into the ground within a year by either the Anglo-Japanese or German blocs, and it doesn't have the power to form a bloc of its own.

To be fair, if Britain, France, and Russia got their buttocks handed to them on a platter, and USGA is now firmly back in the Germany camp (after the brief dabbling in Communism), France would get steamrolled quite quickly by any major German offensive.

I mean, in the aftermath of the war, France's economy must have been in absolute shambles. Their national pride was completely crushed, and they were collectively castrated as a nation and a people -- both through the loss in the war, and the loss of their colonies. They literally lost every major colony (I think every colony period?) to Germany, while Britain skated by with minor concessions and whatnot. They'd resent the hell out of Britain and Germany, but don't have the industrial might to stand against either of them -- nor would they likely be able to build up the industrial base quickly enough, given a Great Depression. From 1919 to probably mid 30s, France should be in a completely pitiful state -- probably with a lot of government changes and massive turmoil.

They got to keep consolation Madagascar. [That should totally be a saying in your France. "To get a Madagascar" =1) To get a consolation price 2) To get an irrelevant mercy in defeat 3)Something like that]
Actually, France surrendered before Britain did, and due to no uncovered debts is not as if Britain could have just sponsored France into eternity even if it wanted to. So I'm not sure if they'd hate them that much....

To get a Madagascar it is.

Also, you're assuming rationality. The government would recognize there was nothing the British could do, but to the populace? It might feel like British stayed out there on their island, sending some soldiers to die, and losing nothing but manpower -- while France lost land, colonies, industry, and their children. Plus, after defeat, an xenophobic attitude does tend to prevail.

Those are all good points.

How is the Don Cossack Host so far? Anything I need to incorporate into the history regarding Russia/Ukraine/anything?

Wasn't looked at yet, I'm currently with the FSA.

I could see myself siding with a fascist France against Germany. We might be hesitant, but then we'll remember that it's against Germany and be all 'Well, alright then, suppose we have to.'

So here, there's that. You can have non-bland France without making actually all of europe CP.
