Could you give a little back-story to this mod maybe explain what it is all about?
 
Back story:

During the Civil War, the CSA was able to sieze D.C., Jefferson Davis declared victory over the USA, (even though the Union had the western CSA, there was great dissent agianst the war, and in the peace treaty, Mississippi, Louisiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, and Oklahoma were given to the USA, which was seen by the CSA as a small price to pay for independence). This encourged California to bloodlessly succed.

All of these events generated a vengeful and fearful feeling in the USA, so, an Oligarchy of the Radical Republicans was formed to "secure" America. This oligarchy began to encourge intense nationalism, and polices aimed at collectivation of wealth to help pay for the recession, which followed the "Second American Revolution of 1861". Most the upper classes were alarmed and they decided to carve out an idependent New England as an idependent monarchy, and the Astors were chosen to be the Royal family of the Kingdom. The half of the CSA that was given back was treated like a conqured ppl, a strong sense of Louisiana patritism was nutured by these governmental measures, which lead to a revolution, the US army was so split apart it could not respond, so it was successful. The new nation has invited Jean de Bourbon III to reign as Emperor of Louisiana.


EUROPE

Prince Matternich of Austria never left, and in fact, encourged heavy industry and his successors encourged the establishment of African Colonies. Harsher policies of Austria lead to a Hungarian revolt and short but devastating civil war mostly in Croatia and the Magyar heartland, the war was a stalemate, so a treaty was signed and allowed for a free Magyar nation at last, which was estabished as an "Aristocratic Republic" ruled by nobles.

Otto von Bismark was able to unite Germany by 1871 with his 2 wars (denmark and France)

Italian nationalism was wisley recognized by Austria, while holding on to Lombardia, Venetia, and Trento, the empire was able to smash the joint french-sardine force and forced Sardinai-Pedimont and the rest of Italy (save Venetia, Lombardia, and trento) into an austro pupet, the "Italian Federation", but with the prevalince of Socialism and Marxism, the south was "radicalized", leading to the south succeding under a socialistic republic, the SR2S (the Socialist Republic of Two Sicilies), the young socialist state vows to united all of Italy under its iron heels.

after the Prussian-danish war, there was a great fear for the future of Scandinavia, so they formed the ScanConvention of 1868, which united Scandinavia into a powerful monarchy under the Swedish King.

Russian civil war of 1902-05, caused by a crak down by the Tsar in 1901

Russia fell into a major civil war following the major crack down by the Tsar Nikie II, which lead to a revolution. Nickie was captured but the whites under Admiral Kochalk liberated him and as the whites were able to capture Moscow and Petrograd,Nickie was smart enough to turn Russia into a Constitutional Monarchy. The Reds fled and held onto most of the east and signed an armistice with Russian empire, using the Urals to set the border. Russia lost the Ukarian and Byelorussia, but was able to considalite control over the Caucas, Finland, and the Crimia. In South Central Asia, two states kicked out the communist in the area: Kazan and Turkestan.
Kazan was a central democracy while Turkestan became a fundementalistic, Islamic nation, bent on taking control of Kazan.

Baron von Sternburg took control of Mongolia and invaded a wrecked china, torn apart by the leftist, rightist, and the warlords, in which the baron was able to sieze lower mongolia, thus declaring himslef Khan of all the mongolians....

Soon after embarising defeat, china fell into civil war, in which Moa Zedong's forces (heavily supplied by the USSR) to win out in mainland china, but Chiang-Kai Check, his government, and ppl able to leave, established Twaian, and sought and recieved heavy Japanese and American Support, were able to survive, but there is a constant fear of a "red tsumami" striking the island nation....Part of Mancharia fell under control of the last chinese emperor, Pu Yi, who was supported by Japan and America as well. Transarmur also established itself as an independent state and was able to be freed from the Red bear.....

SouthEast Asia

In the 1850's, Japan began to modernize itself. desperatly needing raw materials held by the United Netherlands, when the time came, It seized Indonesia fromed them and kicked out the dutch rule, and the world was shocked by an Asian power defeating a European nation.

After the Franco-Prussian War, Prussia, seeking to hurt french power/prestige, gave French Indochina to Siam, which inturn, became a united Indochinese state under the Siamese Emperor.

California took many of the historically american islands such as Hawaii, while the CSA, Louisiana, Germany and the UK also participate in the carving of Asia

Africa is pretty much historical, Berlin confernce, except with more nations Austria, Louisiana, New England, and No Italian participation, as it is distracted by more pressing issues on the homefront

Middle East

Ottoman Empires suffers more than in our timeline. As Zionism is far more stronger in this timeline, the Sultant is forced to allow this but is given a huge sum of money, which is used to reform the aging empire, meanwhile, a great Arab revolt hits the country and due to the lack of a modern armed and great British support, the Arabs secure thier homeland, but to the dismay of the Westerners, they become a very fundementalist nation, an ally of Turkestan. Its national goal is simple: Spread the Islamic Revolution to the world.

Turkey was able to hold on to Syria, and northern Mesopotmia, there is a great sense of vengence by the ppl who want to strike back at the Arabs.

the Jewish state has successfully become a powerful, and modern state in the Mid-east, but is savagly hated by the Arab union, which wishes to conquer it...

In america, Arraon V. Burr V, a decended of the first Arroan V. Burr, has just been apptioned by the Congress (oligarchy's main body), soon after Burr sacked the congress, and declared himself the "Supreme Leader" of the new "United States Of Greater America", in which he emplemented nationalism, socialism, and unitism into a government he lables as "National Socilism" (not the national Socialism that gripped Germany in our timeline). He has come in complete control of America, Burr has embarked in a major rearmnent program to save the economy and strenghthen the millitary and to "secure the nation" from so called "traitors to the American Dream", by using these excuses, he created the CIA to monoter the expotential threats, while using the FBI to completly control the American ppl. Only the new leader in DC knows whats the next step for his new state is....






Now, i really need help to make this work...what do yall think?, plz post below.
 
the world in 1936

HoI2_Map1-Copy.jpg
 
Sounds like a very interesting mod. Keep it coming. Wished I could be of some help, but I know very little about modding. I wait with anticipation for this mod to become playable.
 
i see you have a greater holland maybe you can barrow some from the Kingdom of the netherlands mod, i suggest you send a pm to maj. de wit he is the project leader and im only an event writter
 
The American backstory makes no sense, as usual, but the rest seems serviceable.

Once thing: the city of Kazan is a couple hundred miles northwest of where you have it, there was NEVER any Kazan nation in Kazakhstan. Kazan was a Tatar state in eastern European Russia.
 
I think it is Lousiana.

PS: One question: Where do you get the blank map of HoI2 provinces?
 
How about extending the Netherlands into Lotharingia? It sounds cooler... Maybe give them a bit more territory in France or something. Also instead of having a broken up USA why not do away with all vestiges of the USA and keep it as colonies of varied european powers. Perhaps South America to some kind of Iberian super state (say Portugal and Spain managed to unify between 1400 and 1800, it had a high probability of happening a few times) Lousiana Territories to France, maybe Netherlands (or Lotharingia) gets Mexico and California A russian offshot has Alaska and Western Canada and Britain gets its 13 colonies back.

yes it is very far fetched with the Louisiana part, but i'm a Louisianian, and i'd love to see this in a mod, perhaps can u give me a more sensible way for Louisiana to be free, and under Bourbon rule?


oh thanks alot...changing it to Kazachastan..:p
 
What about the UK? Also, you have Africa completly free yes? A few errors there the UK/Netherlands had been cntrolling Cape since the 1700s. Also, the UK had already began colonising Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia in the 1820's.

Also, I fin it hard to believe that Japan could modernise and beat a major power within 5years of modernisation ....

Finally, you sa New England revolts to become its own nation, surely, the Uk would have intervened to get back New England?

Looks interesting!
 
UK

Followed historical path, less control over africa, india's a pupet state...there has never been a WW1 yet, so the empire is still titly controled by UK

Spain

Follow Phillip II's defeat, there was more dissent among the ppl and Cantalonia broke off to form an idependent republic....

France

followed historical path, except, they never took over Tunisia

Louisiana

During the War of 1812, the battle of New Orleans was a british victory, and in the treaty, modern day Louisiana and Mississippi were turned over to the Brits, after Napoleon's permanent defeat, the british gave the territory to France (under the July Monarchy), and after the monarchy was kicked out, the french bourbons fled to Louisiana and established an imperial monarchy in thier Louisiana terretory. When the South succeded in 1861, Louisiana decided to take advantage of the situation, and made an allaince with the new CSA, and after the South's triump, the treaty ceddes terretory to both nations, these two jion the naval race and the idustrial race with great speed. These two states become great powers and even establish a few african colonies...
