West Germany: Try to recolonise some areas the French and Brits will probably lose during the cold war. Try to reunite Germany. Become an equal power military and economy wise to the Soviet Union and possibly even fight the Warsaw Pact alone for a short period. (try to hold them off til help comes). Become the by far most important ally with the USA and help them in any proxy war they are involved in too.
East Germany: Become an equal power economy and military wise to West Germany. Try to reunite Germany.
Soviet Union: Try to be the 1st in all space races, including Landing on the moon. Get larger SoI than USA. Boost economy until it's largest in the world. Drive western colonial powers complete off Africa and Asia. Eventually make Europe completely Communist.
 
I'll be SPAIN, won't align with USA or USSR, reconquer south and central america, and become a superpower!!!!!
 
USA: Annex/Sphere Mexico. Bring all of Europe under NATO, personally dismantle the USSR. Decimate communist dreams of landing on the Moon before the USA, see if I can land on Mars, win the Korean War, see if I can get the KMT to hold more of China than it did.

USSR: RED EUROPE! RED CENTRAL AMERICA! RED GRAN COLUMBIA!

Bulgaria: (If possible), break Yugoslavia apart, become Balkan's #1 power.

Turkey: Establish own sphere over collapsing British Empire. Become France-esque power.

France: Hold Vietnam, become superpower.

Spain: "I'll teach those Westerners to ignore fascism!", establish own sphere in the Americas.
 
Portugal: Defend colonies against any subversion, dismantle "Estado Novo" piece by piece, and democratize the country.

Cuba: Develop the economy, increase the population's standard of living, suppress any armed insurrection.

South Korea: Conquer/ absorb North Korea, improve the economy (maybe even put a man on the Moon).
 
Britain: Re-establish the Empire (1920's borders). Place the union flag on the moon. Royal Navy dominance of the seven seas.

North Korea: Conquer the South and re-unite Korea under Juche.

China: Conquer Taiwan and finish off the Chinese Civil War. Assist North Korea against US and South Korean aggression.

South Africa: Assist Rhodesia in the Rhodesian Bush War. Maintain Aparthied. Kick the Cubans and East Germans out of Angola. Establish a Nuclear Weapons programme.
 
Re-establish the British Empire as the alpha of the world.

Winning the war as USSR (because winning as USA is so mainstream)

Unite the Spanish American countries.

China: become superpower, split from USSR, start exporting products for cheaps and establish world hegemony.

Will the game starts with the Chinese Civil War still going on in the mainland?
 
Vatican: Indirectly fight communism and dictatorship where possible, while maintaining a strong economy and using it to support freedom fighters and catholic nations.

Switzerland: Become the economy #1 of the world. Build huge forts and anti-aircraft installations along the border. Have the best infantry. If shit hits the fan, take some easily defensible territory of alps from Italy, Austria, France or Germany. For fun sake - take a small territory somewhere in Africa with a small port. (with transit through Italy and airlift, I'd imagine)

Canada: Stay as a part of NATO, while doing nothing for it's sake. Instead, slowly and carefuly frame and 'kill' small countries, colonize them, build military bases, repeat. Somehow take Alaska and perhaps a part of Siberia if a world war breaks out. Be the #1 technologically advanced nation in the world, guarding its secrets well and perhaps even preventing other advanced countries to advance in technology (By sabotage?)

Ireland: Use spies, diplomacy and perhaps guerrilla warfare to free Northern Ireland, fight for the independence of Scotland and Wales.

Vatican, Lichtenstein, etc were not playable in SR:2020/GC due to their being smaller than a single hex. I don't imagine that this has changed for CW.
 
Should be easy to mod in and make it similar to D.C. in 'shattered world' scenario of Global Crysis. Course with population of 10000< it would probably be the no.1 insignificant country in the world and wouldn't reflect true power of Vatican. Anyway, just a theoretical thought :)
 
USA: Fight Communism where ever it tries to take hold, out do the USSR and send it to the road of collapse

USSR: Become world's premiere industial and military powerhouse, first on the moon, win Korea and Vietnam

GDR: With Soviet help try and cripple the FDR's economy and force re-unification

Yugoslavia: Control Albania and Bulgaria maybe Greece (HOI3 style), become rival political centre to Moscow, intervine in vietnam

also when does the games timeline end? for example HOI3 ends in 1948
