Many thanks - this is actually just the sort of information that I need to be able to turn the base setup in the Alpha into something playable!
I'll investigate further into all these issues - Germany definitely should have a guarantee on Denmark, and probably the whole of Scandinavia - I must have forgotten them...
And resource distribution is a known issue that needs in-depth looking in to, especially with the puppets - can you also try and see exactly what resources the countries are lacking and by how much? This will help me put together a load of initial trades between all of them and their masters in the .eug file (I deleted all of the vanilla 1936 ones because they were generally inappropriate).
And no idea why Georgia and Mongolia wouldn't annex Siberia or Armenia! It's probably an AI issue, so I'll look into the way the files are set up.
If you want to do Japanese foreign policy events, that would be great! Probably leave the Chinese ones for the time-being, as these would need to be integrated with the whole of the Chinese setup. And Timotheus has already done some events for the Philippines - so if you want to do some more for American Pacific islands and possessions it may be an idea to base these on his. I also definitely wanted to complicate/develop results of a possible war with Russia for 'All the Russias', so please make any changes with this that you think may be good! And Zauberfloette has given some general ideas for the South-East Asian setup (about 10+ pages back....), so these could give some ideas on possible causes for Japanese intervention.
I'd also want to do something a bit more variable with the Japanese domestic setup than simply go down a
'the military is even more dominant than in real-life' road, in order to keep things interesting and replayable! Maybe give Japan the option to emerge as the dominant liberal global power, follow a genuine 'national liberation' strategy in Asia, as well as the choice of going more OTL imperialist and militarist, and possibly something even more extreme as well....
