I have a suggestion, why not have an already established radical socialist Scandinavia in the game?
The history could be something along the lines of this:
In September 1916, as the Great War was raging, turmoils broke out in Denmark, as King Christian X suspended the Social Liberal government led by C.H. Zahle because of personal disagreements. The political parties declared the action a gross violation of the constitution and it came to demonstrations and as the demands were not met, a general strike was initiated. Denmark descended into chaos, but the Radical Socialist Aksel Larsen rallied socialists, syndicalists and communists under his banner, and Swedish and Norwegian leftish movements threw their support behind Larsen, and revolts broke out in all major Scandinavian cities. As the major powers were engaged in heavy fighting The revolution spanded three months but remained relatively unbloody, only about two thousand pepole were killed. From the fires emerged a unified radical socialist Scandinavia, and on the 19th of December, the Socialist Republic of Scandinavia was declared from the capital city of Stockholm. In the wake of the Great War, Scandinavia was iced out by Germany, which saw the socialist devolpment as harmful, but support from the fellow socialist Union of Britain prevented a war. The two nations have very good relations and a strong trade agreement, where the agricultual products which Scandinavia produces very much of, is shipped westward in exchange of industrial goods and technology. After 20 years of rebuilding, Scandinavia is now a relatively powerful nation, and also a prime example of socialism. Workers in Scandinavia enjoys a living standard topped by no other nation and pepole south of the border looks jealously at the welfare in Scandinavia. Military expansion is limited, as the Scandinavian government has adopted a more moderate line than many other foreign movements, and thus the Scandinavian Army is centered around elite divisions with advanced equipment. The air force counts some three hundreds planes and the navy, which is currently the weakest branch of the Armed Forces, employs a group of obsolete warships from the Great War, but protection from Britain has nullified this shortcoming for the time being.
Is this useable?
