Hypotethical Nation AARs

RossN · 16-08-2006, 16:02

I was wondering how many, if any, AARs there of nations that never existed?

Now by that I don't mean alternate history AARs that imagine say the Confederacy surviving (to pick an example purely at random

). A HoI2 game with a surviving Byzantine Empire wouldn't count as that state existed.

Similarly a conquered country regaining independence (playing Croatia in Victoria for instance) also doesn't count.

So what AARs are there that are about nations invented out of whole cloth, or at least ideas that were never put into practice.

Well, there's my Colorado AAR (linked in my sig) about how Alexander Hamilton built an empire in the Rocky Mountain west of America!

It's underway, and about to be updated (soon), but not anywhere near the point yet where Colorado comes into existance.

And there's Empire of Fu Manchu in HOI2 were the hypothetical Pan-Asian Empire (Amalgamation of Imperial Japan and China) launches a merciless war of world conquest.

I once wrote a short AAR about the United KinKsdom. A nation based on the songs by the Kinks.

I was tossing around an idea for EU2 where decendents of Romulus Augustus take over parts of Italy....

*Ahem*

Really, it seems to be an uncommon idea. I'll admit that I haven't read too many AARs in depth - time constraints unfortunately don't allow it - but I can't think of one off hand at all (well, any serious ones

). I'm sure there are some out there, but they certainly aren't the majority.

Actually I had just noticed your AAR. Very interesting.

In my first AAR I played with the Benelux ( see my sig ) and I'm planning to do some more modding and I'll make AAR's about them. Tips or suggestions PM me.

There is also a category of AARs about nations that should not have existed. All those Sweden ones, for example; what's with that?
