In one of my latest games I conquered the USA territory as Germany but I noticed that, aside Texas, California and the Confederates, there isn't a specific puppet to release. I decided to create one, but I'm not an expert in the US political history, so I need the help of the DH community.
The name: should it remain United States of America, or something more germanized like Amerikanische Union or Nordamerika?
The flag: as you can see in the screenshot, I used one of the Kaiserreich AUS flags as placeholder. Should the Stars and Stripes remain, or a new flag is more appropriate?
The territory: much like the Reichskommissariats, only the capital (Washington?) will be national territory, while all the other provinces will be claims: this will reduce the massive American IC and increase the chance of revolts against the Nazi invaders. The territory will definitely include the whole continental USA, but I would also add Canada in case the player wants to release a single, big North American puppet.
The ministers: for the political offices, I used people from Fritz Kuhn's German-American Bund (although in OTL it was waning by 1940). Other FA/NS personalities might include Harold Keith Thompson, Francis Parker Yockey, George Sylvester Viereck, George Lincoln Rockwell, William Dudley Pelley, and Lawrence Dennis (although only Thompson had direct ties with Nazi Germany in OTL). I know that officers like Charles Lindbergh, George Van Horn Moseley, Charles Willoughby, and others had FA/NS sympathies: do you think that one of them might have a role in a Nazi puppet government?
For the military offices, I struggled a lot to find vaguely suitable names, and I have no clues about a possible Chief of the Navy.
The leaders: in addition to the 3-4 officers in the cabinet, I'd use a photograph taken at a German-American Bund rally like this one and assign random names to random faces.
The tech teams: no specific ideas here, but we could include those US companies that had business with Germany, like Ford, IBM, General Motors, etc.
The unitnames: no clues besides the vanilla USA names. Something appropriate, especially for ships?
I will work more on this in the next days and take any suggestion into account. I will release it as a mini-mod when it's complete, if anyone is interested.
