History: Born out of chaos and war in 1871, Germany was, and still is a powerful nation. After stalemating Russia, France, and the UK in the Great War, this view was only reinforced in the psyche of the German nation. Despite the losses of the prized German colonies in Asia and the Pacific, the German nation had come out of the Great War in a fairly good state. It was from this solid foundation that the boom of the 1920s came. The restoration of peace allowed companies to once again return to their pre-war enterprises. But the annexation of new lands in the east meant that the German economy had been practically handed a gift on a silver platter. The rich resources and industry of Poland now were under German control, and with them began what was popularly referred to as the "Polish Miracle." Rapid economic growth in Poland fueled growth across Germany and led to excellent growth until 1929. This growth spread to every corner of the German nation and allowed for the rapid development of Germany's African colonies. It has these colonies along with any other surviving German overseas territories that were annexed as parts of Germany in 1925. But this annexation came with racist laws, semi-apartheid rule, and direct rule from Berlin without representation in the Reichstag.
1929. The word bitterly flows off the tongue of Germans. The rapid growth of years prior came to a screeching halt as an economic depression threw the country into turmoil. Bread lines and welfare lines sprung up as unemployment soared. This was the perfect time for radical ideas to brew. And brew they did as syndicalism took hold in the population. Out of fear, all syndicalist movements were banned in 1931 to curb their spread. While this may have put the government at ease, it infuriated the people who were suffering under the terrible economic climate. It was under these conditions that the Social Democrat Party and its allies took power in 1932. While this caused more conservative elements of society to be wary, the fact that the Social Democrat Party had formed a coalition with the Center Party satisfied most of the populace. Immediate action was taken to correct the economy with bail-outs and economic stimulus to stabilize the economy. This worked, and by 1933 the economy grew by 1.8%. Despite the growth, the economy was still struggling due to depressed demand abroad. And for the duration of the 1930s, the economy would grow at no more than 3%.
Despite the difficult economic situation of the 1930s, plans were being created for a major overhaul of the German armed forces. Mostly neglected by the peaceful 1920s and 1930s, the German armed forces were in a state of delayed decline. The High Seas Fleet was powerful, but increasingly outclassed, the military really hadn't changed since the mid-1920s, and the air force was looking fairly aged. It was in 1939 that the outgoing Social Democrat government agreed to a military buildup plan called Plan Z. Meant to overhaul the armed forces and put them at the cutting edge of the world again, it curried much support from the high command and the more conservative elements of society which were also fairly militaristic. The new incoming Center Party dominated coalition with the National Liberal Party was handed a well-timed moment for an economic boom and military buildup.
The 1940s began with a mass buildup of German military strength with battleships, cruisers, and destroyers all entering service in mass. The air force was equipped with new aircraft and the army with the latest technologies. This boom was accompanied by a change from the semi-stagnation of the late 1930s. For the first time, Germany was growing again. While this wasn't prosperity quite yet, it was certainly an improvement with economic growth rates hovering between 3% and 4%. The only event to mare this celebratory time was the death of Wilhelm II in 1941. In the mid-1940s, there was another change in government. The German Conservative Party and Center Party formed a new coalition government which was the most conservative since the 1920s. Under this new government, the military buildup of Germany sped up with more funds being allocated to the military. Fueling this drive where developments abroad, including Japan and its power and global ambitions. In the German African colonies, there was change afoot. While the majority-white German Southwest Africa and the heavily integrated Togoland were given the same rights as other parts of Germany, the rest of the colonies remained under direct rule albeit with less harsh restrictions being imposed in attempts to normalize racial relations in the colonies.
In 1949, a new election brought the Center Party to power with its' coalition partners. Germany's military has finally been brought up to what is viewed as global standards, and the German economy has basically recovered from the 1929 crash. Fearful of developments in the east and the decline of the other Central Powers has given Germany a reality check. Now it is time for the new German government to play realpolitik like Bismark, or watch Germany be left behind.

History: POD: 1908
Despite strong pro-German sentiments at the start of The Great War, following tradition The Kingdom of Sweden remained in a state of armed neutrality through out the conflict, while delivering huge profits from arms and industrial shipments made to both sides throughout the war. These profits were continuously reinvested by the Kings insistence into Royal and Government projects. Mines, ports, factories and warehouses saw expansions, retooling and greater employment which partly helped speed up industrial development in the Kingdom.
In a early war display of Pan-Nordic unity, and following a decade of uneasy relationships among the Scandinavian nations, the three kings of Denmark, Norway and Sweden respectively met in Malmo, Sweden, to talk on the subject of Scandinavian cooperation and neutrality. Despite the world being engulfed in flames, there was a sense of hope in Sweden, growing industrialization was flowing money into the market and wages overall rose consecutively through out the war, going into the twenties, Sweden was uniquely positioned to blossom, and her bankers routinely made profits, investing into war- weary Western Europe.
The only time Sweden used its military during the war, outside of Naval Patrols to ensure trade security in the Baltic, was its invasion, and subsequent occupation and annexation of the Aland Islands in 1919. With chaos sweeping Russia, and the ethnically Swedish islands needing protection, Gustaf V ordered their swift annexation by two infantry regiments of the Swedish Army and Navy, the Islands were fortified, and ultimately a sum of money was paid to the Kerensky government to accept their annexation.
Sweden enjoyed the roaring twenties like a breeze. Peace and prosperity dominated like never before, and the Government was dominated by moderate parties maintaining a stable course. Naturally, this all came crashing down in the 1930s as stock markets plunged, farms experienced massive blight, and people looked to extremists for answers. Standing before them was the man himself, Sven Olov Lindholm, a man who railed against both Capitalism, for being too obsessed with the greedy acquisition of wealth and money, and as he viewed it a, a modern form of feudalism, and Communism, which was a twisted ideology with no connection to a nations blood and soil. Advocating a third position to economics, Nordic reunification and racial theory's, Sven Olov Lindholms Far-Right Nationalsocialistiska Arbetarepartiet, aka Svensk Socialistisk Samling saw electoral success through out the 30's. Taking populist positions, he supported monetary and bank reform while also massive expenditure into the national infrastructure and military.
With no genuine solutions that excited the common people, the Swedish people took the plunge and elected the radicals in the 1936. Lindholm immediately executed his grand plan. Three days after the election, he met the King, Gustaf V, who had privately held great support for the ideals of National Socialism. After much deliberation of what the eventual sight picture, of how Sweden was to look over the course of time, Gustaf V began to recognize that as monarch, in his current role was certainly not aiding his new Prime Minister, reluctantly he agreed to lending his support for Lindholms proposed constitution, which devolved much of the monarchial powers, to the point of making the King a mostly, but not unimportant ceremonial roll. No royal properties would be taken and with the concession that the King be in the greater picture as it came to Nordic reunification, both parties agreed that a new constitution could be drafted, with the NSAP becoming The Party. Lindholm wasted no time, assembling the Riksdag two weeks later to present his new, Swedish, codified constitution. The Constitution was a comprehensive document that drastically recreated the Kingdom of Sweden in to the Swedish Rike, setting forth Lindholms and the NSAPs beliefs on racial policy, government and National Socialism, centralizing power into a sprawling bureaucracy led by the Rikskanzler. The Riksdag was maintained as a Unicameral legislature to pass laws, however Rikskanzler maintained supreme leadership of the Swedish Government. The new constitution was met with cheering applause and support from the NSAP and their other Far-Right coalition partners, despite passionate attempts by the rest of the Riksdag to block the constitution, the Kings implied support and Lindholms charisma prevailed. With the constitution being implemented, a cabal of Communist terrorists took direct action, taking up street fights Lindholms Green-shirts, the NSAP's paramilitary wing. The NSAP was able to publicly portray the Communist as extremist, foreign funded insurgents, and a campaign was initiated to stomp out resistance. The preferred method of elimination were silent disapperances in the night, with many important leftist leaders being put into burlap sacks and thrown into freezing lakes in a brutal week-long crackdown that lasted weeks. Famously, in a desperate act of self preservation, Lindholms staff car was ambushed in Central Stockholm by insurgents armed with smuggled hand grenades and sawn off hunting shotguns. Luckily for the Rikskanzler, he was not in the vehicle, the act killed Lindholms driver and one of his secretaries, but only served to strengthen the NSAPs resolve to defeat them. Immediately, Green-shirts and police began arresting agitators in mass, and serving up secret, extra-judicial murders. Several former leftist Riksdag MPs disappeared as well, never to be heard from again.
Lindholm smartly did his best to silence the rumors, fearing that the brutality would shock the cautious, yet optimistic Swedish people. Believing his political power more or less well enough concentrated, and with the Swedish Communist Party all but banned, and the Riksdag filled with near daily resignations of MPs who were either Left-wing, or conservatives refusing to work with Lindholms new constitution and government. He began instituting the promised reforms as the Government finished its restructuring. The tax code was revised, and corporations and banks with unpaid taxed were pursued vigorously, however giving some sweet deals to corporations who "Provided a valuable asset to the Nordic race." Major companies like Saab, Volvo and SKF were provided tax relief in return for industrial development. Simultaneously, a stagnant army was put to work, going into forests and planting trees, building new roads,bridges and railroads. A nationwide road system was codified into a single, far reaching Motorvag which helped expand Swedish commerce, allowing Swedish manufacturers to sell more cars, trucks, busses, and creating additional jobs and factories. This was the pace of Swedish development for the rest of the 30s, Government projects creating greater demand for private goods that increased employment and wages. All of these had the end goal of creating greater industrial might for the Swedish nation. Farm production was also supported, with Government grants towards Fertilizer production and the purchase of tractors towards farm production.
By 1940, it became apparent that, while employment and wages had indeed skyrocketed, with unemployment projected to be nearly extinct by 1942, this had come at great financial cost despite the expanded tax base. The Swedish government was short on cash. Lindholms economic minister, provided an ingenious solution, the Swedish government began issuing a series of quarterly promissory notes, for five, ten and twenty year periods, businesses receiving the notes were permitted to trade them among themselves, essentially creating a second currency. This allowed the Government to continue its stimulus policy, with the Swedish economy so close to autarky and being self sufficient in line with National Socialist objectives. Furthermore, Lindholm began building the military slowly, which the promissory notes helped support. On the diplomatic front, paths looked open to the NSAP towards Nordic Unification, with the Danish NSAP having gained a decent, but nowhere near majority of seats in the Folketing, opened a new path for Sweden. The Danish cabinet, in a major concession to the Danish NSAP agreed to Swedens offers of dialogue regarding a mutual alliance on the basis of cultural, economic and strategic development. Cabinet level officials from both nations met in Malmo to hash out the particularities of the Agreement. Norways government however remained skeptical of the organization, with only 12% of voters in 1939 having supported the Norwegian NSAP, there was simply not a strong enough tide of Far-Right Nordicism to sway Norway to consider an organization that worked with the extremists in Sweden. Regardless, Denmark and Sweden were able to hash out an agreement which included a comprehensive mutual understanding on trade, technological development and military coordination. State propaganda was emphasized in Sweden about the glory of Dane-Swede cooperation, declaring it an end to centuries of up and down relations and a definitive end to the historical argument regarding Dominium maris baltici. On a party level, the Danish NSAP was officially established into the same party structure as the Swedish NSAP, the Norwegian NSAP aka The Nasjonal Samling was too minor of a player at this point, and it was decided to let it remain independent, albeit with Swedish party financial backing. In a encrypted directive from Lindholm to Vidkun Quisling in September 1941, they were encouraged to make inroads with the Fatherland League, who were seen as valuable potential allies, or at least to reach out to the most anti-communist members of the League, promising increased funding before the next election.
On the homefront, Lindholms economic policies remained successful enough that he could continue to equip his Army to new standards. In December 41' he pushed out a directive ordering the tighter enforcement of conscription laws, all males, at some point between the ages of 18-25 must serve 18 months in the Swedish Military (With limited deferments on a case-by-case basis) with the chance to extend contracts to become NCO's or university educated men being encouraged to go to officer school. A volunteer status, enlisting for atleast 5 years, however provides substantial additional benefits. The equipment was also overhauled, Swedens growing industry base allowed the construction of more naval ships, airplanes, tanks, trucks, and weapons. Recruits would be sent to a basic training center based upon their region, where they would be fully indoctrinated in the necessary skills to preform their duties and specialties. Discipline was first and foremost, aiming to create generations of proud, fit and disciplined Nordic men who would serve their race and nation with distinction both during and after their military service.
Swedish support paid off for the Nasjonal Samling in Norway, which was able to gain a parlimantary plurality in the 1942 Norwegian elections. Their only demand in order to secure their cooperation with the government coalition was to make an offer to join the Danish-Swedish alliance. As such, in early 1943, the delegates of all three Nordic nations, met again, this time in Oslo, to hammer out a new document. The Swedes and some of the Danes had hoped to reach a far more reaching union then what the Swedes and Danes had previously agreed on, but were warned by Quisling that many of Norways senior officials were wary of Lindholms rhetoric of a unified Nordic nation, and believed that any steps towards a new union would be much more intertwined and with no degree of genuine independence then the last Swedish-Norwegian union, which had only ended less than 40 years prior. Reluctantly, the Swedes had to accommodate this for their partners, knowing the Danish NSAP would be facing rigorous prosecution by their opponents in the upcoming Danish election about their party unification with the Swedish NSAP, while Norway was naturally the most cautious of the bunch. Internal party memos between the NSAP organizations said that pending NSAP victories in Danish and Norwegian elections over the next six years, a new conference would be held to extend the international cooperation farther. The Swedish crown prince, Gustaf VI Adolf was also the father-in-law of the Danish crown prince, Fredrick IX, he privately confided to Lindholms diplomats that he believed he could sway the royalty of Denmark to atleast show sympathy with the cause, which would serve as a basis to create ease among the Danish population. A deal was hammered out by Februrary 3rd, it created a somewhat comprehensive Tripartite Pact, which basically continued all the prior Swedish and Danish pact, except with reworking to accommodate Norway. Just in time for Danish parliamentary elections at end of March. In a propaganda coup arranged by the Swedish monarchy, the Danish NSAP, and the Propaganda Ministry of Sweden, Fredrick IX of Denmark, a decorated man of Naval pedigree, and adored by the Danish people, was invited to spend a few days at the command of HM Pansarskepp Gustaf V, a major costal defense ship of the Swedish navy. Reluctantly, recognizing what the Swedes were trying to do, with the looming Danish election, he accepted. Cameras were omnipresent, and the ostensibly purposed "show of cooperation between Nordic militaries" was well received by the Danish people, and helped swing the election favorably enough to allow the DNSAP to gain multiple seats in Parliament, coupled with their promises to lead "Denmark to the same prosperity that has come across our brothers and sisters in Sweden."
The 40's went on, the Swedish NSAP was receiving widespread popular support, birth rates of Nordic children was on the rise, unemployment was so low that Lindholm opened the gates to allow Swedes from Finland, and other Scandinavians to immigrate into the nation in order to try and fill more positions. All of this came at a cost, and the promissary bills started to stack up on the list of Swedens monetary priorities to be figured out, especially with the rapid arming of the military. The clock is ticking for Lindholm, and the King was still a prominent figure in Swedish culture, failing to make the Swedish economy fit enough in time to operate on its own without continued stimulus of industry and government construction, and before borrowing ceased to be an option. Some of these costs were naturally offset, the tax base was larger then it ever had been before, and Swedish goods were making some money on the global market, still recovering from the Depression.
Going into the 50's, Swedens clock is ticking. Its people, although content with Lindholm's regime, desire again to see more good news, and are ever hungry for the promise of complete unity with their Nordic race that has been indoctrinated into them as a core value of Swedish politics. The Kings health is slipping, and his loss would present Lindholms government with the loss of their earliest backer. The Crown Prince would need to be in their cohort. While the youth at this point are fervent in their love of National Socialism, having been indoctrinated since their early days with belief in Nordic superiority, and their parents know just how bad things were before Lindholm became Rikeskanzler, how strong of a grip the NSAP can be maintained is largely dependent on how their government will respond to these growing problems. The Norwegian and Danish branches of the party must bring their nations into the fold of Scandinavian unity, and Sweden must answer the problem of its owed money to many of its corporations and citizens. The first few years of the 50's will be National Socialisms greatest test yet.

History:
The Kuomingtang, KMT, roughly translates to the Chinese Nationalist Party as it was founded in 1912 by Dr. Sun Yet-sen. Regarded by many as the largest republican and nationalist movement in China, its origins can be traced back to the Revive China Society, founded in Sacramento, California on November 24, 1895. Revive China’s Society’s primary goal was to overthrow Manchu rule and promote Chinese modernization.
Sun, with his co-conspirators, plotted for an uprising in Guangzhou in October 1895 but it was discovered by Qing authorities. Under pressure from the Qing government, Britain expelled the Society’s leadership from Hong Kong. The revolutionaries then bounced around the globe in Japan, California, Europe, and the United States. Sun himself explored California and France to get more exposure to Western political philosophy.
By 1911, the Qing Empire was rapidly destabilizing and imploded at the start of the Xinhai Revolution. The founding of the Beiyang Republic in 1912 ended 2,000 years of dynastic rule in China. Unfortunately, the new republic was incredibly fragile with little authority over the vest Chinese territories which resulted in territories breaking away and becoming independent.
By the time the Great War in Europe was in full swing, China was experiencing its first year of the Warlord Era in which the KMT furiously attempted to unite the country. The Qing remnants retreated to Manchuria where they would inevitably become puppets to the Japanese Empire. The success of the Northern Expedition was just the thing needed to cement the KMT as the successor to the failed Beiyang Republic.
However, Sun yet-sen would not live to see the end of the Warlord Era as he died in 1925 from lung cancer, three years before the majority of the warlords were subdued and integrated back into the KMT. Chiang became his successor after the power struggle with Hu Hamin over the leadership of the Right-wing KMT faction. With the help of Wang Jingwei, the leader of the Left-wing KMT, found incriminating evidence to arrest and execute Hu and his cronies. Unfortunately, Chiang couldn’t reconcile with the Right KMT with many members grown disillusioned over blatant power grab.
By 1931, most of the Right KMT army officers defected to the resurgent Qing Empire propped up by the Japanese empire. Only Chiang Kai-shek and a few other Rightists remain in the KMT whose ideology now heavily dominated by socialist ideology. Feeling discouraged, he thought of fleeing as well now that he no longer has a power base to purge the Left KMT. To his surprise, the socialists and leftist radicals wanted Chiang to stay and lead them.
With the brain drain on army training and doctrine, Chiang was one of the few KMT members that had military education. Regardless, it was the start of a new KMT in the 1930s. Fueled by the bitter betrayal of the Rightists, the KMT became more united in its cause for a free and modern China.
Most interestingly, two Bolshevik exiles that ended up benefitting the most from this reshuffling of KMT leadership is Joseph Stalin, an Orthodox priest, and Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov, an aspiring general of the Red Army. The military experience from the exiled Bolsheviks proved to be invaluable in organizing and rebuilding the National Revolutionary Army. Combined with the Sino-German Agreement in 1926, the KMT managed to rebuild the NRA into an effective fighting force with old German equipment and Bolshevik officers.
When the 2nd Sino-Japanese War broke out in 1937, the ROC was behind technologically when compared to the Japanese Imperial forces. However, what the Chinese lacked in quality, they made up in quantity. Millions of Chinese volunteered or conscripted into the main fighting force while tens of thousands more became partisans behind Japanese lines. Mao Zedong reached heroic status when his partisans successfully sabotage Imperial supply lines in Manchuria.
After five years of attrition and numerous war crimes afflicted on both sides (although China fervently believes that Japan was most guilty of causing), the war ended in a ceasefire with the intervention of the League of Nations. Japan would get the island of Hainan as well as a small section of northern China. Britain offered to return to Hong Kong as a consolation for the lost territories. Both China and Japan accepted the ceasefire in 1942 with both sides claiming victory.
Having achieved independence for the next decade, Chiang finally turned his attention to rebuilding his country. With the new peace came new prosperity for the Chinese eagerly rebuilt their cities and infrastructure. Funny enough, what would become modern China was born from Chiang’s traditionalist beliefs and the KMT’s socialist ideology as Confucianism and Western Philosophy are combined into one.
Outside the country, tensions between China and Japan remain high as the Japanese continue their ambitions of Asian conquest while the KMT continues to support insurgent groups all over the Co-Prosperity Sphere notably the Viet Cong in Indochina.

History:
Forged by the Ausgleich of 1867, the flaws of the Dual Monarchy were self-evident by the conflagration of the Great War. Upon his succession to the throne in 1916, Karl I knew that the Empire was in grave need of reform. As the nation struggled through the conflict, aided immeasurably by Germany, the Emperor devoted most of his time to the pursuit of reform, hearing out various eminent advisors and advocates from all corners of his domain. In the end, he settled upon trialism; that is, extending the same privileges afforded the Austrian and Hungarian halves of the Monarchy to Croatia. He began battling for the enactment of his planned reforms at once, but the Magyar nobility offered stiff resistance.
By 1917, the war was swinging heavily in the Central Powers' favor, even if Austria-Hungary herself was suffering. A string of Austrian victories on the Eastern Front propelled the monarchy's popularity, and in 1918 the Hungarian government was forced to agree to the trialist compromise. Thus, the trial monarchy of Austria-Hungary-Croatia was born. Three capitals; three parliaments; three heads of government; one Emperor.
1918 was a year of great celebration, especially for the Croats, as Karl was lauded for his victory in the Great War. And yet, a feeling that this victory was hollow was soon inculcated within many of the Empire's people. The Hungarians, having fought long and hard to achieve equal status, were enraged to see the Croats promoted so easily. Many nationalists and veterans resented that, unlike Germany, Austria was not repaid for the blood it had spilt in the war, receiving no territorial gains aside from the vassalization of Serbia, which was a more of a curse than a blessing. Nevertheless, tensions subsided in the war's aftermath, eclipsed, for the moment, by the relative prosperity conduced by trade, resurgent business, and Russian reparations. The trial system seemed to work, satisfying Austrian, Hungarian, Croat, and Czech alike— though the newly subjugated Serb was the odd man out. Serbian resistance was forced underground, but it never died.
In 1929, the needle upon which the Empire had been balancing was upset. A global stock market crash ruined the German economy, which ravaged Austria-Hungary-Croatia in turn. The industries and business which had slowly been growing shrank exponentially, and millions found themselves unemployed. Naturally, they turned to radicalism. Socialism and nationalism— and in some cases, both— surged in popularity amongst the working class. Austrian nationalists bemoaned the erosion of the Empire's Germanic identity, while socialists demanded a truly federal system and equal distribution of wealth. In Hungary, nationalism was far more popular, and the subversive yet popular Arrow Cross Party emerged, demanding the Magyars break away from the Monarchy. Agrarian Croatia remained largely content and conservative, the most ardent supporters of the Crown, but the seeds of nationalism were sown there, too.
Street brawls between opposing factions and the police became ever more common as the economic situation worsened, yet the Empire was plunged into near civil war in 1935, when, in a freak repetition of the 1914 assassination, Emperor Otto was shot and killed by a Magyar nationalist in Budapest; in the chaos, Austrian policemen fired into a crowd, killing several civilians. At once, the Austrian and Hungarian nationalists were in uproar, each demanding retribution, and war loomed overhead. Thankfully, cooler heads prevailed. The arrival of several crack German divisions in Hungary quelled open rebellion, and a series of key arrests dismantled the Arrow Cross movement. The Hungarians remained embittered, but silent; the Monarchy survived.
It is now 1950. Year by year, the Empire clambered out of the deep pit of economic depression, aided by the much-faster-recovering Germany. Yet with socialists mustering in Vienna and Budapest, nationalists of every race demanding independence, and only the Croats and Czechs truly content with their lots— many wonder how much longer Germany can hold her cousin's head above water.

History: After the loss of the northwest portion of it's body to California in a disasterous war Mexico collapsed. Humiliated militarily and politically the nation shrunk in size and the United Mexican States was little more than a wasted husk of it's former self, corruption became standard and economic ties with other nations had become weaker as well. Political instability was rife with multiple groups fighting in the streets, the far left and far right groups mainly. This was when Miguel Rojas began making waves, he was policeman and his father died in the war against California. Rojas had a natural affinity for speaking and quickly roused the masses, he gathered members from leftist and right wing movement, touting anti-capitalist but also nationalist rhetoric, blaming the failures of the past on capitalist greed of California and it's attempt to destroy the Mexican people and civilization. Thus the Combatants for The National Salvation for Mexica was established.
It was a violent party which began facing arrests by the weak central government, after a series of high profile political assassinations the CNSM marched on Mexico City and surrounded the Presidents residence where he was held on "trial" and executed as a Californian conspirator along with his entire cabinet. The military folded as they were already a weak and currupt organization. Thus after 1925 Rojas declared the Mexica Nation, named after the indigenous Mexica people of the valley. Factories and other institutions were immediately nationalized, foreign assets were seized as well. A series of purges followed and total repression on dissent as Rojas remolded the nation into a leaner and more industrial state. Interracial marriage was encouraged for white and natives to create a new vision and the future reconquest of lost mexican territory.

Allies: Sweden currently stands in a mutually-cooperative union with Denmark and Norway, called The Nordic Tripartite Pact, along with their dependencies. To this end, they have formed a structure surrounding the free flow of goods and services between partner nations, a cooperative military designed for interoperability with the other nations, and a shard currency. All member states are to recognize the sovereignty of each other, and are in pursuit of shared objectives that most notably include a framework toward Scandinavian Unification within the next five years.
Enemies: Uncertain currently, staunchly opposed to Communism and Left-wing Socialism.
History: POD: 1908
Despite strong pro-German sentiments at the start of The Great War, following tradition The Kingdom of Sweden remained in a state of armed neutrality through out the conflict, while delivering huge profits from arms and industrial shipments made to both sides throughout the war. These profits were continuously reinvested by the Kings insistence into Royal and Government projects. Mines, ports, factories and warehouses saw expansions, retooling and greater employment which partly helped speed up industrial development in the Kingdom.
In a early war display of Pan-Nordic unity, and following a decade of uneasy relationships among the Scandinavian nations, the three kings of Denmark, Norway and Sweden respectively met in Malmo, Sweden, to talk on the subject of Scandinavian cooperation and neutrality. Despite the world being engulfed in flames, there was a sense of hope in Sweden, growing industrialization was flowing money into the market and wages overall rose consecutively through out the war, going into the twenties, Sweden was uniquely positioned to blossom, and her bankers routinely made profits, investing into war- weary Western Europe.
The only time Sweden used its military during the war, outside of Naval Patrols to ensure trade security in the Baltic, was its invasion, and subsequent occupation and annexation of the Aland Islands in 1919. With chaos sweeping Russia, and the ethnically Swedish islands needing protection, Gustaf V ordered their swift annexation by two infantry regiments of the Swedish Army and Navy, the Islands were fortified, and ultimately a sum of money was paid to the Kerensky government to accept their annexation.
Sweden enjoyed the roaring twenties like a breeze. Peace and prosperity dominated like never before, and the Government was dominated by moderate parties maintaining a stable course. Naturally, this all came crashing down in the 1930s as stock markets plunged, farms experienced massive blight, and people looked to extremists for answers. Standing before them was the man himself, Sven Olov Lindholm, a man who railed against both Capitalism, for being too obsessed with the greedy acquisition of wealth and money, and as he viewed it a, a modern form of feudalism, and Communism, which was a twisted ideology with no connection to a nations blood and soil. Advocating a third position to economics, Nordic reunification and racial theory's, Sven Olov Lindholms Far-Right Nationalsocialistiska Arbetarepartiet, aka Svensk Socialistisk Samling saw electoral success through out the 30's. Taking populist positions, he supported monetary and bank reform while also massive expenditure into the national infrastructure and military.
With no genuine solutions that excited the common people, the Swedish people took the plunge and elected the radicals in the 1936. Lindholm immediately executed his grand plan. Three days after the election, he met the King, Gustaf V, who had privately held great support for the ideals of National Socialism. After much deliberation of what the eventual sight picture, of how Sweden was to look over the course of time, Gustaf V began to recognize that as monarch, in his current role was certainly not aiding his new Prime Minister, reluctantly he agreed to lending his support for Lindholms proposed constitution, which devolved much of the monarchial powers, to the point of making the King a mostly, but not unimportant ceremonial roll. No royal properties would be taken and with the concession that the King be in the greater picture as it came to Nordic reunification, both parties agreed that a new constitution could be drafted, with the NSAP becoming The Party. Lindholm wasted no time, assembling the Riksdag two weeks later to present his new, Swedish, codified constitution. The Constitution was a comprehensive document that drastically recreated the Kingdom of Sweden in to the Swedish Rike, setting forth Lindholms and the NSAPs beliefs on racial policy, government and National Socialism, centralizing power into a sprawling bureaucracy led by the Rikskanzler. The Riksdag was maintained as a Unicameral legislature to pass laws, however Rikskanzler maintained supreme leadership of the Swedish Government. The new constitution was met with cheering applause and support from the NSAP and their other Far-Right coalition partners, despite passionate attempts by the rest of the Riksdag to block the constitution, the Kings implied support and Lindholms charisma prevailed. With the constitution being implemented, a cabal of Communist terrorists took direct action, taking up street fights Lindholms Green-shirts, the NSAP's paramilitary wing. The NSAP was able to publicly portray the Communist as extremist, foreign funded insurgents, and a campaign was initiated to stomp out resistance. The preferred method of elimination were silent disapperances in the night, with many important leftist leaders being put into burlap sacks and thrown into freezing lakes in a brutal week-long crackdown that lasted weeks. Famously, in a desperate act of self preservation, Lindholms staff car was ambushed in Central Stockholm by insurgents armed with smuggled hand grenades and sawn off hunting shotguns. Luckily for the Rikskanzler, he was not in the vehicle, the act killed Lindholms driver and one of his secretaries, but only served to strengthen the NSAPs resolve to defeat them. Immediately, Green-shirts and police began arresting agitators in mass, and serving up secret, extra-judicial murders. Several former leftist Riksdag MPs disappeared as well, never to be heard from again.
Lindholm smartly did his best to silence the rumors, fearing that the brutality would shock the cautious, yet optimistic Swedish people. Believing his political power more or less well enough concentrated, and with the Swedish Communist Party all but banned, and the Riksdag filled with near daily resignations of MPs who were either Left-wing, or conservatives refusing to work with Lindholms new constitution and government. He began instituting the promised reforms as the Government finished its restructuring. The tax code was revised, and corporations and banks with unpaid taxed were pursued vigorously, however giving some sweet deals to corporations who "Provided a valuable asset to the Nordic race." Major companies like Saab, Volvo and SKF were provided tax relief in return for industrial development. Simultaneously, a stagnant army was put to work, going into forests and planting trees, building new roads,bridges and railroads. A nationwide road system was codified into a single, far reaching Motorvag which helped expand Swedish commerce, allowing Swedish manufacturers to sell more cars, trucks, busses, and creating additional jobs and factories. This was the pace of Swedish development for the rest of the 30s, Government projects creating greater demand for private goods that increased employment and wages. All of these had the end goal of creating greater industrial might for the Swedish nation. Farm production was also supported, with Government grants towards Fertilizer production and the purchase of tractors towards farm production.
By 1940, it became apparent that, while employment and wages had indeed skyrocketed, with unemployment projected to be nearly extinct by 1942, this had come at great financial cost despite the expanded tax base. The Swedish government was short on cash. Lindholms economic minister, provided an ingenious solution, the Swedish government began issuing a series of quarterly promissory notes, for five, ten and twenty year periods, businesses receiving the notes were permitted to trade them among themselves, essentially creating a second currency. This allowed the Government to continue its stimulus policy, with the Swedish economy so close to autarky and being self sufficient in line with National Socialist objectives. Furthermore, Lindholm began building the military slowly, which the promissory notes helped support. On the diplomatic front, paths looked open to the NSAP towards Nordic Unification, with the Danish NSAP having gained a decent, but nowhere near majority of seats in the Folketing, opened a new path for Sweden. The Danish cabinet, in a major concession to the Danish NSAP agreed to Swedens offers of dialogue regarding a mutual alliance on the basis of cultural, economic and strategic development. Cabinet level officials from both nations met in Malmo to hash out the particularities of the Agreement. Norways government however remained skeptical of the organization, with only 12% of voters in 1939 having supported the Norwegian NSAP, there was simply not a strong enough tide of Far-Right Nordicism to sway Norway to consider an organization that worked with the extremists in Sweden. Regardless, Denmark and Sweden were able to hash out an agreement which included a comprehensive mutual understanding on trade, technological development and military coordination. State propaganda was emphasized in Sweden about the glory of Dane-Swede cooperation, declaring it an end to centuries of up and down relations and a definitive end to the historical argument regarding Dominium maris baltici. On a party level, the Danish NSAP was officially established into the same party structure as the Swedish NSAP, the Norwegian NSAP aka The Nasjonal Samling was too minor of a player at this point, and it was decided to let it remain independent, albeit with Swedish party financial backing. In a encrypted directive from Lindholm to Vidkun Quisling in September 1941, they were encouraged to make inroads with the Fatherland League, who were seen as valuable potential allies, or at least to reach out to the most anti-communist members of the League, promising increased funding before the next election.
On the homefront, Lindholms economic policies remained successful enough that he could continue to equip his Army to new standards. In December 41' he pushed out a directive ordering the tighter enforcement of conscription laws, all males, at some point between the ages of 18-25 must serve 18 months in the Swedish Military (With limited deferments on a case-by-case basis) with the chance to extend contracts to become NCO's or university educated men being encouraged to go to officer school. A volunteer status, enlisting for atleast 5 years, however provides substantial additional benefits. The equipment was also overhauled, Swedens growing industry base allowed the construction of more naval ships, airplanes, tanks, trucks, and weapons. Recruits would be sent to a basic training center based upon their region, where they would be fully indoctrinated in the necessary skills to preform their duties and specialties. Discipline was first and foremost, aiming to create generations of proud, fit and disciplined Nordic men who would serve their race and nation with distinction both during and after their military service.
Swedish support paid off for the Nasjonal Samling in Norway, which was able to gain a parlimantary plurality in the 1942 Norwegian elections. Their only demand in order to secure their cooperation with the government coalition was to make an offer to join the Danish-Swedish alliance. As such, in early 1943, the delegates of all three Nordic nations, met again, this time in Oslo, to hammer out a new document. The Swedes and some of the Danes had hoped to reach a far more reaching union then what the Swedes and Danes had previously agreed on, but were warned by Quisling that many of Norways senior officials were wary of Lindholms rhetoric of a unified Nordic nation, and believed that any steps towards a new union would be much more intertwined and with no degree of genuine independence then the last Swedish-Norwegian union, which had only ended less than 40 years prior. Reluctantly, the Swedes had to accommodate this for their partners, knowing the Danish NSAP would be facing rigorous prosecution by their opponents in the upcoming Danish election about their party unification with the Swedish NSAP, while Norway was naturally the most cautious of the bunch. Internal party memos between the NSAP organizations said that pending NSAP victories in Danish and Norwegian elections over the next six years, a new conference would be held to extend the international cooperation farther. The Swedish crown prince, Gustaf VI Adolf was also the father-in-law of the Danish crown prince, Fredrick IX, he privately confided to Lindholms diplomats that he believed he could sway the royalty of Denmark to atleast show sympathy with the cause, which would serve as a basis to create ease among the Danish population. A deal was hammered out by Februrary 3rd, it created a somewhat comprehensive Tripartite Pact, which basically continued all the prior Swedish and Danish pact, except with reworking to accommodate Norway. Just in time for Danish parliamentary elections at end of March. In a propaganda coup arranged by the Swedish monarchy, the Danish NSAP, and the Propaganda Ministry of Sweden, Fredrick IX of Denmark, a decorated man of Naval pedigree, and adored by the Danish people, was invited to spend a few days at the command of HM Pansarskepp Gustaf V, a major costal defense ship of the Swedish navy. Reluctantly, recognizing what the Swedes were trying to do, with the looming Danish election, he accepted. Cameras were omnipresent, and the ostensibly purposed "show of cooperation between Nordic militaries" was well received by the Danish people, and helped swing the election favorably enough to allow the DNSAP to gain multiple seats in Parliament, coupled with their promises to lead "Denmark to the same prosperity that has come across our brothers and sisters in Sweden."
The 40's went on, the Swedish NSAP was receiving widespread popular support, birth rates of Nordic children was on the rise, unemployment was so low that Lindholm opened the gates to allow Swedes from Finland, and other Scandinavians to immigrate into the nation in order to try and fill more positions. All of this came at a cost, and the promissary bills started to stack up on the list of Swedens monetary priorities to be figured out, especially with the rapid arming of the military. The clock is ticking for Lindholm, and the King was still a prominent figure in Swedish culture, failing to make the Swedish economy fit enough in time to operate on its own without continued stimulus of industry and government construction, and before borrowing ceased to be an option. Some of these costs were naturally offset, the tax base was larger then it ever had been before, and Swedish goods were making some money on the global market, still recovering from the Depression.
Going into the 50's, Swedens clock is ticking. Its people, although content with Lindholm's regime, desire again to see more good news, and are ever hungry for the promise of complete unity with their Nordic race that has been indoctrinated into them as a core value of Swedish politics. The Kings health is slipping, and his loss would present Lindholms government with the loss of their earliest backer. The Crown Prince would need to be in their cohort. While the youth at this point are fervent in their love of National Socialism, having been indoctrinated since their early days with belief in Nordic superiority, and their parents know just how bad things were before Lindholm became Rikeskanzler, how strong of a grip the NSAP can be maintained is largely dependent on how their government will respond to these growing problems. The Norwegian and Danish branches of the party must bring their nations into the fold of Scandinavian unity, and Sweden must answer the problem of its owed money to many of its corporations and citizens. The first few years of the 50's will be National Socialisms greatest test yet.
