I'll be going for Axis USA and throw all my troops on the West Coast to support the Japanese! Time to make things weird.
One is to attack Soviet and the other is to attack UK.
I understand that Delaware is actually there on the map, it's just too small to see.I suspect since certain things are tracked at the state level (like a lot of buildings, right?) they want to keep states roughly equal in size or else you could have issues. I.e. making Rhode Island a state by itself gives you an entire extra area to do industrial buildup, even though it's about the size of my bedroom.
US have 10 military factories 22 dockyards and 75 civilian factories at 1936.
USA starts with two national spirits.
- The Great Depression, costing 1 PP every day, until removed in the 1940 election.
- Home of the Free, which allows them to create factions, but not to join any faction led by another ideology.
Seriously though, 50 states makes for a lot of provinces (some really huge, some awkwardly tiny), so merging a few is probably a good idea for gameplay purposes, despite the hurt feelings of those whose home state has been left out as a "lesser" entity.
....and don't mind my comments; I'm an equal opportunity deplorer.

I for one supports the notion that Massachusetts is a lesser state.
So USA cannot join the Axis.
Actually, it was a nacionalistic dictatorship istead of a fascist one. I would hardly consider Vargas's regime a fascist one.The Brazil becomes a fascist dictatorship in 1937, with Monroe doctrine the United States will be able to create a civil war in Brazil?
Possibly for the size, aesthetics, or for balancing - although if balancing were for limiting factories this could also have been done through lower population levels...maybe the total warscore cost for annexing all states became too high?So, I'm intrigued about the merging of states. Why?
Surely computer power is much better and can easily take all those states?
We can do it NOW in darkest hour, (hoi2.... ) so what exactly is the problem. Why merge provinces at all?
Is it possible to mod this map and put back the correct states and borders?
Next week we'll be explaining why its a bad idea to tell 40 mechanized divisions to attack the Gobi desert.
And yet NJ is not...I for one supports the notion that Massachusetts is a lesser state.

Im pretty sure he took the screenshot as soon as he started the game.These are the unused factories at the time, For all we know they my have 600 dockyards in full production
No, lesser. You're lucky that the USA has more then two states: Texas and everything else. That's what truly merging the lesser states would mean.
