It was actually Morocco who broke our alliance for no reason and then allied with France.

Clearly the correct move was to so thoroughly antagonize them that this became the permanent state of affairs.

To be unnecessarily fair, the last war was mostly a pre-existing Kafkaesque Maelstrom of slaughter that Frangleterre took a long, thoughtful look at before dragging the whole world into it.

I'm probably gonna go with "Gaul" or "Gallic State", I reckon, if only because it was briefly revived during the middle ages.

For real though, I don't really play Stellaris, so I decided a long time ago that this LP was gonna end in Vic2 or HOI. I feel like 5 games is more than enough for one LP anyways.

Just sayin' Hashim, but one of the starting characteristics you can give a civilization in Stellaris is "Post-Apocalyptic", where your species lives on an irradiated Tomb World as a result of nuclear armageddoning themselves and rebuilding.

I mean, surely nothing like that would ever arise directly as a consequence of beloved Al-Andalus, but it's interesting. :razz:

I wonder if Morocco is fully out of Iberia or if there's any worthless tiny scraps, smaller than most Paradox maps go that Morocco just hangs onto as a sticking point, just like Spain has on modern-day Morocco.

It's always interesting looking up the tiny piles of dirt sprinkled around the world that aren't actually owned by who you would think.

Like how Gibraltar actually still belongs to UK, for example.

i went to wiki for examples and gently caress it, why pretend i'm smarter than my source

quote:

Enclaves within enclaves

It is possible for an enclave of one country to be completely surrounded by a part of another country that is itself an enclave of the first country. These enclaves are sometimes called counter-enclaves.

The Dutch municipality of Baarle-Nassau has seven exclaves in two exclaves of the Belgian municipality of Baarle-Hertog.

The former complex of enclaves at Cooch Behar district included 24 second-order enclaves and one small third-order enclave called Dahala Khagrabari #51: a piece of India within Bangladesh, within India, within Bangladesh. The Indo-Bangladesh enclaves were exchanged on 31 July 2015 by the ratified Land Boundary Agreement, and Dahala Khagrabari was ceded to Bangladesh.

Nahwa of the United Arab Emirates is surrounded by Madha, an exclave of Oman within the U.A.E.

The Portuguese town of Estremoz is made up of two civil parishes (freguesias): the small Santo André and the big Santa Maria. Santo André corresponds to the old town (located inside the medieval walls), but excludes the citadel, which is an enclave inside the old town; the citadel belongs to Santa Maria, which also includes the entire new town (outside the walls) and the vast rural area around it. Thus, Santa Maria has an enclave (Santo André, the old town) with a second-order enclave inside it (the citadel)

so there's some examples of double-enclaves. this is topical

It's a cross between old conquests that can't fully be let go and geographic areas that formed afterwards and never could fully consolidate.

And of course, it's the 19th century equivalent of those US military bases everywhere. You could make a decent argument that every US military base is its own little exclave.

An enclave inside an enclave inside an enclave is the best type of enclave. :colbert:

There's also embassies and other diplomatic missions, which could be considered enclaves.

Hereby it is manifest that during the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called war; and such a war as is of every man against every man.

Quite possible that the territory Ibriz has left is incredibly sparsely populated, especially since New England and whatever we're calling Irish Canada have been hogging all the immigrants. Also, Mexico can do pretty well for itself on precious metals and oil, which really limits the incentive to industrialize.

Rump Ibriz is still super-Mexico, stretching all the way down through Costa Rica.

Didn't Ibriz, especially southern Ibriz have a shitload of Native pops left from being lackadaisical in conquering its landmass? To the point of native nations still having cores for native nations left on it? How's that doing?

Am I misremembering something, or did Ibriz used to be split in half with the northern bit being Mazura and New England's just undone about a century of history by carving out their puppet state?

Yeah, it's pretty much because they've been stuck in a constant cycle of revolution and bankruptcy, with fascist rebellions being especially common. I sent a few troops over there to help maintain the communist government though, and they've quickly recovered after that, rising back up to secondary power within a year.

No, that's half the population of that particular province. A lot of the Ibrizi heartland is fascist though, with the north and south being more liberal and communist, but only just.

Doubtful given their still relatively high military score, and that they should still have their heartland of pops in Mexico. Agreed that the areas that started sparsely populated in 1836 are probably still that way though.

Wait, if we're already at 1936, what happened to all of the post-WW1 decisions? Aren't we all now members of the Central Committee bearing suspicious resemblances to former members of the Majlis?
