Mizanur was Maz's right hand man and handpicked successor with full unequivocal support from the Shura and the populace. It's not like there was ever anyone else who could challenge that type of pedigree, the position was always his from the start. Clearly.

In real history, there have only been two wars fought between communist states: Vietnam invading Pol Pot's Cambodia, and the PRC invading Vietnam. I leave it up to the reader to determine which one of these we will be.

We're basically Lavrentiy Beria. And if we're at all lucky, our dear leader will be as much of a psycho rapist killer patsy as the real one.

I leave it up to the reader to determine which one of these we will be. Well, you also have the Sino-Soviet border conflict, but I dunno if that counts as a proper war. Then again, Pol Pot's Cambodia wasn't really communist either so I think we end up with just the Sino-Vietnamese war in the final tally. HiHo ChiRho posted:If the choices were realistic for Al Andalus, then choice A or C would have been overturned from a coup by B. Eh, Beria got shot in short order after Stalin died, so if that's the comparison we're going with then this doesn't seem likely.

There's still no real way of knowing which way the wind will blow with the German civil war, both Russia and France have reasons to either support or not support one of the German states, and who knows if other great powers or even minor powers will weigh in.Xelkelvos posted:This is why I suggested Ranked-Choice.

V.

Is this just something you're just making up? Theoretically, as another aggressive communist state that doesn't even come close to sharing a border with Al Andalus, there could be a good chance of both of them sharing the same interests, potentially even both supporting socialist Germany. Of course, Papa Russia could probably crush both of them if it decides to.

Best case scenario is Italy somehow stays outside France's bloc and we get a free hand of expanding there, also France and Morocco's foci tree lead them to ignore al-Andalus antics. Also we get brownie points with Russia from tag-teaming the Balkans, plus our foreign forces tilt the German and Ibrizi communists to victory, giving us actually good allies against New England and France. Worst case scenario France and Italy become allies early on and we're done hosed as they and Morocco proceed to tear us to bits while we are invading Mediterranean minors. Any scenario where we end at war with both France and Morocco without us having control of oil fields will result in our war machine reduced to a crawl as they burn down all our convoys bringing much-needed oil. We might as well go back to horse-drawn tanks.

Basically speaking our choice of leader has locked us into these decisions due to our focus tree: -Handing over power to the secret police. -Annexing the Italian Penninsula -Annexing the Balkans. If there is any diplomatic problems with any of the latter two, we are going to be so dead as world war crushes us far ahead of schedule.

the other options were "become traitors and ally with either Morocco or France" which is a non-starter, or be totally loving boring which is even worse.
