Question: will your country be capitalist or commie?

So Khas, does this mean that France would be an alt Stalinist commie state?

In my USSR, Stalin/the Stalin-adjacent lost the power struggle after Lenin, making his interpretation and his followers revisionists to the Orthodoxy Marxism

Interesting. Can't wait to see the app. :)

I guess this means that - unless anyone objects - Chinese California will take kinda the role of the US in the Cold War by forming NATO (though I assume it will have a different name in this TL) and leading the anti-communist front with various interventions?

Currently, my plan for France is that it resulted from the revolt of French partisans under Nazi occupation overthrowing the regime independently of what in OTL was D-Day, similar to the Yugoslav partisans. France will, in many ways, be Stalinist. Its current borders are the result of the revolt pushing Germans out and deporting them, as happened with Prussian Germans in our timeline. However, it's important to note that these resemblances will largely be superficial because France and the Soviet Union are very different places, and so it's perhaps most accurate to say that this France will be thoroughly Jacobin in its approach to Marxism. Leninist compromises would not be seen, ultimately, as acceptable, and French foreign policy would be rather trigger-happy with calling others revisionists or "uncommunist" during the Cold War.

Thinking of Pacific Treaty Alliance (PTA) as the name of our NATO in this TL. Perhaps Gum Shan formed this treaty with Japan (?) before expanding by adding anti-communist states in Europe, Asia and Americas?

Nice. Chinese - Japanese friendship. :)

Edited my history to include this:

- Since the 1950s, Gum Shan took a more active role in international affairs, especially when it came to the containment of communism. It formed an alliance of likeminded capitalist democracies to contain communist expansionism, the Pacific Treaty Alliance (PTA). Initially an alliance between Gum Shan and Japan (and later on the newly independent Korea), it eventually expanded to encompass a number of anti-communist states across the globe. Gum Shan would provide arms and funding to anti-communist states and insurgents across the globe to engage in proxy wars and intervene directly in a number of conflicts to stop the expansion of communism. This global conflict with the Soviets became known as the Cold War. Repressive measures against real or supposed communist sympathizers were taken domestically as well, while the intelligence and security apparatuses were expanded.


I assume it is alright with you? Or prefer a later date for the alliance?

Since I doubt anyone will be apping as an independent Hawaii and since Gum Shan has an expanded role than the one I initially envisioned in this TLs Cold War, I will be adding Hawaii in my claims as it makes geostrategic and political sense to have been annexed and be used as a launching pad for Asian interventions during our version of the Cold War.

Now, the next thing we need to figure out is our version of WWII. I assume Nazi Germany was the main bad?

I'll work on details in my app, but the core idea is a Crusader state that somehow survived, heavily syncretized, and eventually developed a religiously tolerant society characterized by cultural fusion of French, Arab, and Jewish elements. A shared enemy always helps with that, so I'm also writing in a long history of war with Syria and Egypt, which any app for those countries - or the rest of the Arab world - will need to consider. It will still be a small country, but one that consistently punches above its weight in cultural, religious, technological, and military terms.
For really, I think that the poorest he that is in England hath a life to live as the greatest he. And therefore truly, Sir, I think it's clear that every man that is to live under a Government ought first by his own consent to put himself under that Government. And I do think that the poorest man in England is not at all bound in a strict sense to that Government that he hath not had a voice to put himself under.

Anglo-German Axis, interesting.

After the defeat of the Axis, is now England liberal democracy? If yes, would it be part of the Pacific Treaty Alliance? Anti-commies need to unite. :p

APPLICATION
WIP for Greater Cameroon
NS Name: Passingon
RP Name: Nationalist State of Cameroon [State of Cameroon]
Flag: https://imgur.com/yscz8AZ
Capital: Yaoundé
Territory: Modern-day Cameroon, Equatorial New Guinea and Gabon
Population: 31,000,000 (Approx)

Official Language(s): Cameroonian, French Cameroonian and German
Recognised Language(s): Cameroonian and German
Ethnic Breakdown:
- Ethnic Cameroonian = 93%

Religious Breakdown:
- Religion is banned in the State of Cameroon, with most of the population either atheist or forced into the state religion of Vaseian. Other than that, a few tribal groups dotted around believe other wise.


Type of Government: One-party totalitarian state
The government had no democratic elections, and is instead controlled by 3 semi-separate establishments.

The Committee Of The People - a 12-man group of highly influential and powerful politicians who are each part of cabinet or own an influential "Worker's Corporation".

People's Congress of Greater Cameroon - a 300-seated assembly, who are elected via worker's councils, who are a group of un-elected "Councillors of the People". Although it is seen as having as much power as the Committee of the Poeple, it only has the power to adapt the bill, and has no right to prevent it's passing.

Worker's Councils of Greater Cameroon - A group of 200 "Worker's Councils" who have local power over businesses and control local businesses. They are considered equal to that of the Congress, with the Congress being considered the middle man between the WCOGC and the Committee.

Head of Government: Chairman Barack Ojukwu
Legislature (the name of your national legislature): People's Congress of Greater Cameroon
Legislative Houses (if your legislature is bicameral): N/A
Party in Power: Syndicalist Party of Cameroon
National Issues:
- The Liberal Wave - With a completely ban on freedom of speech and freedom of press, which was seen to prevent waves of differing ideologies from spreading, a growing number of those against the regime have become supporters of new movement, which promises to "liberate Cameroon".

- Slumped economy - Although the complete control over workers was seen to increase efficiency and establish Cameroon as a leading country in Africa, in recent years, efficiency has slumped, with a lack of trading partners due to it's isolationist foreign policy, has left the economy in a gradual decline from it's golden age during the 70's and 80's.

- Increasing tensions with the West - Tensions among the west since the establishment of the State of Cameroon in 1927 have been mixed. During WW2, tensions rose massively due to Cameroon's continued support for Fascism, and had continued for that until the mid-50's. During the 1970 Cameroonian Genocide, which saw the death of over 450,000 men, women and children, with the targets being tribal minorities and to the killings of up to 75,000 "Ethnic Gabonese People". Now, after the countries announcement of a "Purification program" - tensions seem to be returning to that of the 1970's.

GDP (nominal): $85 Billion
Currency: Cameroonian Dinar
Economic System: Command Economy based around the ideas of communism and economic nationalism

A system based around completely government ownership of factories, with transport, education and other things made free by the government. Worker's councils are used to prevent worker revolts and to keep everything in balance. Taxes are almost nonexistent, with the only tax of that being on food.

History:

Cameroonian Civil War [1919 - 1921] - After the Great War, which saw a German defeat [?], Cameroon, unlike this timeline, went into almost immediate anarchy, as opposition groups against European control. This led to what is known as the Cameroonian Independence War, which was a 3-way civil war between coalition forces of Europe, still recovering from the Great War, a far-left organisation similar to that of the USSR and a united coalition against both forces, who advocated for a multi-party democracy. During this, an estimated 400,000 were killed. On July 9th, 1921, the leader of the Cameroonian Communist Union, Domevlo Iniko, declared an independent state and called on the "People of Africa to unite!". Although his call for mass revolt failed, a united front against the European states did manage to find victory. On September 19th, 1921, Iniko declares victory in the civil war.

Republic of Cameroon [1922 - 1927] - During the opening few months of Cameroon's new found independence, it saw factions of differing ideologies battle it out, with some suggesting that while Cameroon became recognised as an independent state on September 19th, fighting continued, mostly between the far-right faction and communist factions. Fighting ended on January 8th, 1922. The republic was officially declared the following day, of which saw Cameroonians vote in a free and fair election. The election saw a victory for a moderate coalition made up of centre-left and centre-right parties, with the extremist parties of far-right Black Nationalists and the far-left communists. During the early years, Cameroon's economy was set up to be a mixture of private and public ownership, hoping to invite overseas investment. Cameroon saw rapid growth after these reforms, and seemed to have taken Cameroon quickly to become a modern African nation.

Behind the scenes, the ignored extreme parties established what they called a "United Ideology". The two biggest parties, that being the far-right Black Nationalists, mirroring that of an African version of fascism and the far-left communists, who mirrored that of the USSR, established National Syndicalism. It combined a command economy as-well as a highly patriotic and nationalistic government. However, it was a political battle between Iniko and Fodjour Basel. Coming towards the 1926 election, Iniko was assassinated, although the reason is unknown. Some suggest it was a lone attack, others have suggested it was a member of the Black Nationalist Front. This led to the BNF to gaining the foot-hold as an alternative to the Democratic Coalition. The 1926 election saw victory for the Democratic Coalition, however, only lasting 1 year.

On February 12th, 1927, President Diji, having been re-elected as leader of Cameroon, was shot and killed at his inauguration. The death had been concluded to be from a member of the BNF. However, it saw a direct attempt by disloyal military generals to take control, which resulted in an 3-month stalemate. During those 3 months, both the BNF and the Military declared themselves as the leading power. The stalemate allowed the BNF enough time to quickly take control of capital. The military, despite popular support, was unable to takeover the capital due to the militarisation of the capitals industry, and saw the Junta naturally collapse upon defeat. On July 23rd, 1927, Leader of the BNF, Fodjour Basel, declares the State of Cameroon and declares victory.
- Pre-Basel era (Civil War and Republic)

Basel's Reign (1927 - 1988)
Key Moments:

During a French offensive during the summer of 1937, Cameroon was pushed back to the border, in which sighted Basel to establish a mass drafting.

After the announcement of the Great Liberation War, Cameroon troops began a swift invasion of French Gabon, and managed to dig in by early 1940. They prevented their mistakes of the First Gabonese-Cameroon war, and managed to prevent a counter-attack. As France? fell to the Germans?, Cameroon managed to gain the upper-hand, and officially sided by the Germans. Basel officially announces the conquest of Gabon on the 2nd July, 1940 and was formally annexed into Cameroon the following day.

The latter stages of the war was considered internationally as a stroke of military genius. Announcing total mobilising of the Cameroon Military, it saw 1.5 Million deployed in what is called the Great Defensive.

Combining an ideologically-driven military and guerrilla warfare, Cameroon managed to prevent the collapse of the regime, and proved for the next 4 years to be a viable nation.
