Good work Falconette. I am actually playing around with the arms and armistice mod now thinking of doing 1914-1963 game. I haven't decided which nation yet, Germany is way too easy, I was having some fun with China but those level 2 and 3 tech teams are very irritating. Anyway this would have been great to do in the AAR mod.
 
i think you should go agaisnt japan, take revenge upon loss of manchuria (northern half of china should have been of russia with beiping as bordertown!), besides its a personal blamage, of course afghanistan could be simply a tutorial, but you wont get any further than persia anyway.
 
since there is noone with international socialism, i think more widely popular national socialism will become... more like more socialist national socialism... something like that...
 
Communist Germany would make most sense. Maybe America could become Fascist if you want to replace Nazi Germany.
 
America didn't enter the war, so they'd remain the Switzerland of the West, maybe FDR could become the "King of America", instituting a new Isolationist Paternal Autocracy?

Germany could become communist (The National Socialists really are *SOCIALISTS*?), Italy as a National Socialist state (Fascists), France could be "Fascist", and the Axis powers could end up:

Axis:
Italy
France

Allies:
UK
USA (after sometime?)
Japan
Russia

Comintern:
Germany
Mexico
 
Nice ideas, but I'd like to make the things more historical, so probably Germany would be Nazi (btw in 1933 they have a decision - to be communist or nazist, let's see what they would choose). I think it's better to make a choice between Axis and Allies, or make own Russian bloc :) I'll make a poll about it when we reach 1.1.1936 (I think it would be after 3-5 updates of interbellum) ;) Everybody, many thanks for comments
 
japan most certainly not in russian alliance, russia must get its honor and land back from them!

anyway i got a new idea

ALEXEI III MARRIES ELISABETH II
or
ANASTASIA MARRIES WITH GEORGE VI

IMAGINE THE POWER THEY WOULD HOLD, LONG LIVE GLOBAL EMPIRE!
 
oh wait
Alexei(alexander) III was the father of Nicolas II so tzarevich would become Alexander IV

hmh it would be his obligation to kick soem japanese, since he was born during the war :) yeah... he will becoem the Emporo of 3 empires (as obviously joining up UK and Russia will make possible to abolish japanese imperial house and replace it with himself)

ALL HAIL THE HOUSE OF ROMANOVS! :D

Wait-wait, Alexei (Alexis) and Alexandr (Alexander) are two different names, nevertheless in English their short forms are both Alex :D In Russian history there were three Alexanders (Alexander I, his nephew Alexander II and his grand-nephew Alexander III) and one Alexei (Alexis I, second Tsar from Romanov dynasty, ruled in 1600s, father of Peter the Great). So, Nicholas' son would be Alexis II.
 
Well I could imagine a war in which the British and Russians will fight the Japanese, depends on what's happening in China.

Furthermore, I can imagine France turning communist if Germany will become national socialist (just a balancing thing) and that Britain and Russia continue the Entente (or Allies in this case). Europe will end up in a large mess I think :D. I think if France turns communist, the Spanish will too (heavily supported by Communist France)

that would be the most logical for me now :p but it is your AAR...good luck with it ;)

ok, my bad about Alexis, i should have known better.
but well if there was no success for germans and no revolution, lenin and all head communists stayed in switzerland, which means communist germany, i dont think france would become communist becasue it was a democracy, i think it would feel encroached by the monarchic power house of Anglo-Russian Empire and commies of germany, drifting them towards fascism.

anyway, Anglorussian Empire would be also called the Golden Empire

(apparently imageshack cannot into gifs :( )

so yea, it would not be finnished until those occur: annexation of japan, remonarchization of europe, reconquest of north america
until then the golden empire (or more officially, Anglorussian Empire) will exist only as idea as until then it will be phisically impossible to fully unite those two.

but this initial state of The Golden Empire has >61,4mln sq km, >584mln citizens

TERRIFIC!!! Alexis has to marry Elizabeth. After death of George VI he will become Tsar of Russia and King of England. But...Golden Empire is so oriental (like something Chinese or Mongolian). Anglo-Russian Empire sounds much better. It would be the biggest Empire in the world, bigger than Genghis Khan's one. Very nice idea, Deus Eversor, I do want to include it into my AAR! :)

Upd: But...damn, I've just realized how bad are Anglo-Russian relationships after the Great War. I don't know how to manage the marriage. It seems impossible :(

why bad? because of constantinople? i think George V and Nicolas II are really good friends, i think its likely they would get the crazy idea for personal union in forseable future :D
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tsar_Nicholas_II_&_King_George_V.JPG

anyway, im really happy and grateful and and all the gratefullnesness that my mind production finally got itself an influence in the real world :)
i hope its going to be greatly enriching for you :)


edit: the only problem would be getting toghether both parliaments :D

They were friends, but remember that in Britain monarch is nobody. Parliament and government of the UK follow the stern imperialism policy, where Russia was always a strategic #1 foe (Germany was only #2) - and after WW1, when Russia got TWO strategic points in Constantinople and Afghanistan, making two giant steps in the Great Game, British ministers would never allow their fictional king to create personal union with the Russian Empire. It's too unrealistic. Do you have ideas how to improve the relationships between Petersburg and London?
 
ah yeah, right... but having as much rights as russian aristocracy in russia is not enough to accept giving same rights to russians in uk? :(
i always sensed that imperialism and rivarly between empires was becasue there was no option of joining up...

1# bringing democracy to russia is the first step here and you've already crossed it, showing that parliament + monarch can work out.
2# military cooperation is just another thing.
3# giving equal rights between aristocracies and peoples (it might be cool for british aristocrats to go to russia having a lot more authority and freedom than back home, but at same point it might be hard to equalize the status of normal citizens, as for Russia its still backward)
4# increasing trade relations.
5# creating first joint schools, culture sharing, student exchange programs.
6# making effort to equalize legal system

well bassically do everything that european states had did in last 60 years creating EU, for example, british hated french, but became besties, after both WW french wanted total anihilation of germany, but became besties. I think its possible for AngloRussia strongly pointing out mutual profit. (but yeah, it might actually take that much time as getting Elisabeth to grow of the right age for marriage :D )
