I’m planning to recreate the Eastern Bloc and get as much of Europe in it as possible. Also try to turn all of Latin America communist.
There would still be a Federal Government. But I’m talking about every state being radically different.
Examples:
A Parliamentary system for Pennsylvania
A Rotating Chiefdom for Arizona
An Absolute Monarchy for California
A Council Republic for Vermont
A collection of Merchant Princes for New York
Would this even be feasible?
The issue will just be a point of contention and a wedge issue external powers will use to divide ASEAN. Both Malaysia and the Philippines should put an end to it. I know in practice Malaysia is the owner of Sabah, but I believe 20% or so of the population doesn’t have Malaysian citizenship and Malaysia calls them “Illegal Migrants”.
This is unjust for the Sama-Bajau people who have been sailing between our waters since before either of our countries existed. If they want Sabah they should grant all residents of the Island Malaysian citizenship. Otherwise it’s just colonization.
Creating the Future Liberals Want (supposedly)
Spain and Portugal righting the sins of the past with Spanish Steel, Swiss Engines, French Guns, and Portuguese Wine.
Achieving Broz Tito's Dream, though he would hate my law set up
Oepsie Woespie!
Me going France -> Natural Borders of France -> Central Europe
Sharing my all time favorite company set ups. What set ups do you guys like?
TIL Super Czechoslovakia exists in this game.
Right now it feels like SE is the way to go because of the subjugation interaction. This is especially true ever since the nerf to Cultural Commonwealth (sad because it felt Culture Convert + Unify felt pretty appropriate especially in the age of nationalism).
Every powerbloc needs to have some ultimate interaction thats gated by a journal entry or maintaining #1 powerbloc rank.
Trade League:
Shell Companies, Trade Privileges agreements will automatically give investment rights with the other country but only for the Private Sector. This works even in non-bloc members.
Military Treaties:
Foreign bases, allows construction of barracks and conscription in powerbloc juniors. If a state has more than 25 barracks then it becomes a treaty port.
Ideological Union:
Coercive Diplomacy, forcing law changes on other countries will instantly give them that law upon victory.
Cultural Commonwealth
Settler colonies, creates a new homeland state for your primary culture if more than 25% of the state contains your primary culture. This also gives “return state” wargoal.
Sovereign Empire:
Proxies, makes protectorates start diplomatic plays as long as protectorate is autocracy, oligarchy, technocracy, or single party state and has low liberty desire. Triggering this raises liberty desire by 25.
Increasing minimum wage is basically just adding lanes to a highway to alleviate traffic. It works for a short time until the economy catches up. What the government should do is find ways to DECREASE the prices of essential goods including housing, food, water, electricity etc etc.
Forming the Maghreb for my Algerian Puppet
Whenever I hear discussion on anything regarding Internationality or Foreign the default in most Filipino minds usually default to western (and normally always White). It’s like in the Filipino Mind there only exists 3 kinds of humans, White Americans, White Europeans, and Filipinos. You can hear it when discussing anything from personal to the political.
“We can’t have a divorce law, if we do then our family unit will fall apart like these foreigners” like who? The Saudis? The Brazilians? The Nigerians? I didn’t know Family meant so little in their societies. “I like Foreigners because their cultures are more individualistic” like who? The Japanese? The Indians? The Moroccans? I didn’t know those were highly individualistic cultures.
I wanted to try to recreate the Greater Co-Prosperity Sphere but with Siam heading it. I tried my best to go as Corpo-Monarchy as possible. I went Monarchy -> Corporate State -> Social Monarchy.
I feel like there aren't really any tangible benefits to it unless you get lucky with an Intelligentsia/Trade Union Leader and want to cement them permanently without the issue of Aristocrats.
That's cool, but I wish it had more flavor than just better (but harder to get) Monarchy. Technocracy is technically just better Oligarchy with the extra company slot, I wish Social Monarchy had something else going for it (like ability to nationalize even with LF).
