Post based on the The Royal Herald article during a Rizian War run.

The parallelism the Devs try to make with the current situation in that country in the middle East when portraying the Second Rizio-Palesian War is well-known at this point. Never having tried a war run (just never felt like it), I wonder if during the war we can demonstrate the discipline of the glorious golden army and have the international community see us in good light (or in a better light that others). I certainly know there are some events that influence this, one about the treatment of displaced civilians if I remember correctly, and some indirect decisions like not accepting Beatrice's canisters full of experimental mustard gas, but is there any other factor?
As example, keeping the entering draft year to 24 and maybe increasing it to two years (or eliminating completely, to create an all-volounteer army) might produce an armed force with mentally and physically ready soldiers, disciplined and as much good as a soldier might be toward civilians and enemies alike.

For the purpose of clarity, I'd first explain what I mean for "major": as it was significant enough that, if there was not that insistence, Fascism would have been severely handicapped and, while I don't think it would have been enough to make it fail, it would have certainly took away a fundamental point of its propaganda.

So, Italy did not enter the Great War immediatly or shortly after as the other major actors did, mainly because their alliance with Germany and Austria was purely defensive and there was little popular support for the war in general (and honestly because they were not ready to enter the conflict). They eventually entered with the secret Treaty of London, 26th of april 1915, where they pledged to fight side by side with the Entente in exchange of Trent and Tirol (part of Austria-Hungary, today still Italian) Istria and Dalmatia (regions now part of Slovenia and Croatia and a little bit of Bosnia), the city of Valona and the Island of Saseno (Albania), while also making the latter a "protectorate" of Italy. Other things were promised, like part of the german colonies and some regions of Anatolia.
During the peace deals, Wilson Woodrow, 28th president of the US, exposed its famous 14 Points, which enshired the Principle of Self-Determination of Peoples and vehemently rejected the legitimacy of secret treaties, leading to Italy fighting for what they entered the war for up until 1922, with the signing of the Treaty of Rapallo, making the territorial gains puny in comparison to original treaty.
For that, in Italy the term "Vittoria Mutilata", mutilated victory, became widely used by fascist and a powerful propaganda, used to convince now-jobless veterans and extremist (Arditi) that the Establishment betrayed them, that they fought for glory and got only spit on their face by their allies, ultimately joining the movement and contributing to the political violence that gave birth to first fascist government in the world.

For Tsar and Soviet

I greatly enjoyed the game, honestly very broken path, can be hard at the start (Always check your debt levels) but as soon as you get at least komi on your side you should fear nothing. Lucky me Siberia by 1970 wasn't unified so I rolled over the anarchist and the wrong Whites.

There are some issue with event being incomplete and appearing multiple times (at least three popo up for each german proposal in the Second Patriotic War), but for the rest very good
