Hmm well I'm not too sure myself. From what I know, Australia and New Zealand are pretty much the same as usual, although they do start in 1930 so of course the cabinets will be a little different. There is an independent Sarawak, just another British puppet though.
I wanted to add an independent Tonga as a British puppet (which could switch to Japanese later on), but the problem of course is that we don't want the game too laggy, and we already have tons and tons of extra countries.
 
Here are some screenshots as requested and an introduction to one of our more obscure nations:

The Republic of Marii El - Марий Эл Республик

The small, agrarian Republic of Marii El has secured its independence as Russia's authority in more remote and ethnically diverse regions collapsed following mass civic unrest, but its future is looking increasingly more uncertain. A small yet tactically important state located along the Volga, the Marii El Republic is a Finno-Ugric, predominantly pagan and Christian nation in contrast to its more powerful southern neighbour, the Idel-Ural State. Once a member of the Idel-Ural confederation, the Marii left only a year after they had fought side by side with Muslim Tatars, Chuvash, and Bashkirs and declared their independence. Fearing Russian expansion and 'intervention' in what could have been a short and bloody war, the Tatar leadership of the Idel-Ural State let the Marii take their own path, and the two states maintain a frosty yet politically useful relationship. The Marii have begun to look West, however, and as an increasingly strong Poland talks of encircling Russia through the policy of Prometheism, states such as Marii El are beginning to play an increasing role in international affairs. Just like their fellow Finno-Ugric neighbours to the north, the Komi, the Marii have been in contact with an expansionist Finland, eager to play on their romanticist ideal of a 'brotherhood' between all Finnic peoples, including the Marii. Only one thing is sure, and that is that soon, either Russia or the Idel-Ural State will try and expand, and more likely than not, it will be at the young Marii Republic's expense.

Though much of the Republic's power lies in the hands of ethnic Russian settlers, the Marii have been able to foster some national pride and this is reflected in the nation's first cabinet, led by the popular Marii intellectual and poet, Sergei Chavain
 
That flag is Vicky style... I honestly had no idea! My role in this is cabinets, techteams, leaders, and other historical research. A lot of the techie stuff is Narakir's responsibility, so I'll talk to him about it.

Nonetheless I don't see a release for this mod in the immediate future; we've finalised the nations and general world situation and are just implementing them one by one- Narakir and I are both being perfectionists for this mod, and we'd rather you all get to play it when it's at its best rather than get to test a crummy old Beta version. I'll try and post regular updates so you can follow our progress and give us both some input and/or ideas if you're interested. :)
 
I'm sure everyone would rather have the disgustingly large version of Whites & Reds, with all the cabinets, skins, events etc, than just the hollow framework, which is more or less what we have now. I'd be irritated too if I'd waited for three years but I promise it'll be worth it.
We're moving slowly but gradually; mainly because I like to make my cabinets very thoroughly. Alash Orda (Kazakhstan) and Buryatia have just been completed, for example.
