Albania, our brothers, stood with us since the beginning

First the government, then the Chetniks (I won the minigame), then the government WE put in place. Serbia has been a constant thorn in Bulgaria's side (ignore them being AuthDem)

What do you think about the last president of the SRI, Benito Mussolini, before the republic's collapse and the birth of the Italian Empire?

Prime Minister Luigi Sturzo famously used him as an example for "The great atheistic and oppressive menace which the Totalist charter represents"

Germany went the SWR failstate path — how cooked is the Reichspakt?

I was doing my constitutionalist Bulgaria run, and at one point I checked Germany after the SWR takeover event fired. They were led by the Lejeune-Jung cabinet. Ok, I'm pretty sure he's not usually the Prime Minister but no biggie. It's 1940, I just declared war on SRI Italy (I couldn't join any great power alliance for some reason — probably because I already had my own with Albania and my puppet monarchies in the former Belgrade Pact), but I see that Germany is actually struggling a lot: Estonia, Lithuania and White Ruthenia had fallen, Ukraine was having trouble, Belgium was being overrun by France even though the whole Benelux was in the Reichspakt and Ireland capitulated to the 3I. I quit the game to have lunch but I also think about the situation. I then remember Lejeune-Jung leading Germany, so I check the wiki and lo and behold, he's the prime minister for when the SWR coalition collapses. Now I don't want to end my game before the 2WK or with a loss, so I'm wondering: who do I side with? Do I still side with the Reichspakt and try to clutch a win? Do I stay neutral and focus on internal development and risk Russia invading me if they win? Or do I reload a save before I aided the Ottomans in the Levant crisis and try to be the de-facto second-in command of Savinkov's bloc in Europe? Switzerland is syndicalist, the government won in Spain but they don't seem to be intervening, Latvia is in the MA and Estonia is in the RP, Georgia and Azerbaijan are split between the RP and the MA (as in, I don't remember which was in which alliance), and the Ottomans are in the Entente, though I'm pretty sure the Entente and Russia don't usually go to war

I found out that electing Olson massively strengthens the WCA, which proved detrimental as I was playing as the ACC and after Long fell due to me and the syndies bringing down the hammer on him the war became a 1v1 (I set Canada to intervene in my favor but they just wouldn't do it for some reason). I was making solid gains in the North as I had managed to take Chicago and Detroit but in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas the front was collapsing as I had neglected the South in my offensive towards Illinois from Wisconsin. I decided to restart to get a better run. What decisions should I make to ensure Long and the WCA are as weak as possible while also electing Olson? I tried to balance it out before the elections but it just resulted in Long being a paper tiger while the WCA ended up outnumbering both me and Long combined in divisions
