I tell ya, there's nothing more World War 1 than that brief period where things were going well and if you scrambled to put together a peace deal it could've been a more amicable end, but nobody wants a white peace to end a Great War. Now you've traded fascist Ibriz for fascist France. Ireland is ruined for good, Benin has been kicked in the nuts, and Germany isn't doing too well. The Russian empire is pretty threatening, Morocco has had its lifespan extended, and France is spreading across the world. Maybe they'll get bogged down trying to contain the Balkans or there'll be some worthwhile independence movements. Ideally the old alliance won't be able to sustain itself, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Overall democracy's not doing well in this world, and it might be just going to steadily fade into the night. I think New England and Russia are at least constitutional monarchies, but Morocco's still an absolute monarchy.

I like that the Coalition agreed to terms that didn't include anything related to the original justification for the war in favor of completely dismantling everyone other than us.

I forget the ancient history of this lp, did we start before 1066? was there a Norman invasion? because if the cross channel connection got kept up, I bet the two cultures are much more similar here than irl so it might not be worth defining a difference otoh there was that relatively long lived separatist thing in York back when the Celts could win wars sometimes, and the fake USA is presumably keeping English culture alive but maybe has diverged? either way, I assume you're keeping Axis around for when some fascists ally but I could imagine a Mussolini figure saying something like 'the French Channel is the axis upon which the world turns' or whatever. hence these suggestions: Channel Axis, Axis of the Channel also you should put in some events to build a Chunnel way early, I bet that'd be an attractive idea to fascists holding both sides

william won his war for england and served as king of england for a few months before being overthrown by harold of norway. norway maintained hegemony over england until a vassal revolt forced them out around ~1150. iirc, the anglo-saxons ruled england until about 1444 when ireland starting carving increasingly large chunks out of it. by 1600 england was reduced to london and the surrounding countryside.

I'm guessing that "-ania" in the bottom left is Occitania, from a successful separatist revolt? Maybe we'll see Franglehitler pull a Frangschluss on Occ, Provence, and Liege, assuming Occ isn't just immediately re-annexed.

Diplomacy-wise, the only good thing to come out of this war is that Russia is now opposed to France, but then again that might just make them drift closer to Morocco, absolutism and all.

Yeah, Provence pretty much collapsed after getting repeatedly occupied by us and Germany. They lost their eastern territories to Italian nationalists and their western territories to Occitania, so they're now a rump state despite being on the winning side of the war.

The key point is liberal monarchy. Pre-crisis Frangleterre was arguably the most progressive place in the world. Therefore obviously this is the sons of liberty.

Not surprisingly, goons have ruined liberal Al Andalus, Frangleterre and to a lesser extent Germany and semi-constitutional Benin, in exchange for northern Ibriz becoming a pseudo-liberal puppet state of New England. Avalonne sounds like a good long-term name for Paris to flatter the English, with the complete conquest of southern Britain and the final destruction of the Celtic Union there'll probably be an increased revisionist effort to push new and old cultural myths, some of them even building on the myths of the nation they destroyed. Most notably they'll probably use the Welsh as a punching bag for the English to promote French-English unity, even pushing for limited French and English migration into Welsh cities, while implementing anti-rural policies. QuoProQuid posted:Congrats, all! We defended the revolution and the only cost was annihilating our allies and putting half the globe under the thrall of absolutism and fascism. This was very much the sequel to "rip the country apart politically to cause a civil war to become totalitarian revolutionaries," because they wanted the blood. Absolute monarchy Russia, Morocco, fascist Frangleterre and stalinist Iberia dominating two and a half continents is extremely  , but it's nice to see that even with the twin superpowers of player-directed armies against the AI, and a Vicky economy, goons still can't help but make things worse.

It's important to note that all it took for the Dual Monarchy to go fascist was for them to start losing a war, and that it was made fascist by the people, not the government. I imagine if you looked at the pops they were already on the cusp of going that way, and this war pushed them over the edge.

I decided to poke through the LP's past, and it looks like Normans DID conquer England. Very, very briefly, before the Norwegians took the pot.Hashim posted:Further north, meanwhile, the crisis in England climaxed when King Harold was cut down by the Norwegian King in the Battle of Stamford Bridge. His army was quickly decimated upon the death of their king and commander, leaving the path to London wide open for King Harald. The Gallic Empire somebody mentioned lasted for a grand total of 14 years/ I also found this weird screenshot with some "Albion" state right next to France back in 1333. Not sure what to make of that.  Personally, I feel like whatever fascist Frangland wants to make its ideological centerpiece should be about as solid as what the Nazis put together, so the more poorly thought out and based on flimsy nonsense, the better. I can just imagine them putting together some kind of dumb bullshit like the the Nazi theories on an ancient world-spanning Aryan empire from which they sprung. I suppose they'd be in general expansionist, but all I can think of specifically is maybe they'd want to reintegrate Occitanians into their state, which'd mean Provence and Crusader Egypt.
