National Socialists are called Nazis because that's how Nati in the german National is pronounced. If you were to say Naci like a German would (which I would assume you would, since, like I said, Nazi is just the angloized spelling), it'd sound something like "nachi".

Actually, the reason why they're called "Nazi" (which in German is pronounced approximately as nah-tsee) is the fact that national socialist in German is Nationalsozialistische

But, I think I'm just gonna borrow from Serpent and call them (the NatComs): Drexler's Very Merry Band of Drunken German Dwarves. :D

Screens from Africa:

afr1.jpg

I've managed to give them a good primary culture (they are north german primary culture as north germans make up 55% of the population with african minor as secondary as they make up just over 10% of the population). I've also made sure they are civilised.

However, the vast majority of their industry (but not all) disappeared when I loaded up as them whilst they were only allowed 1 NF when their tech (my tech) should have allowed for them to have 6. I assume the game is not taking into account the tech they have when released by me but is instead counting tripoli's tech circa 1837. How do I solve this problem?

It's a shame to leave millions unemployed for no good reason. :(

Also. What do you think of the colour? I'm not liking it and I'm thinking of changing it. But what to?

Still, cools. :cool:

Did you re-load the game before playing as Africa? If you didn't, that's a well known problem.

If not, then I don't know. I have absolutely no experience with modding, so I'm the wrong person. :(
 
Well, that was a well known problem with the original release, but it shouldn't be a problem if you patched your game. Beyond that my only recommendation is to make sure you release, save immediately and load a new game to make sure that the new country loads properly.

Thanks for the title! Does anyone know how I make it display in the space with my nickname and avatar?

Alas, that's something I've been trying to figure out myself, and unfortunately I've had no such luck. :(
 
I like Afrika more for aesthetic reasons, but Africa and pan-African green are awesome.
 
Having the primary culture of africa being german just doesn't feel right. If you wanted to, it wouldn't be very difficult to make a new primary culture of "african" and make it so that only non-german cultures would assimilate to it with the ultra-fast assimilation of vanilla. It would also be possible to make a set of targeted immigration modifiers that would encourage all the krauts to move back to Germany until africa is only say 3% German.
 
For a longer name, I like the sound of "The United Socialist States of Africa". USSA. :p
 
I like the simple 'Africa'. It implies that this gouvernment represents the interests of the whole continent.

Or you could call it 'The country formerly known as the African Holdings of the United Socialist People's Republic'...
 
I love the color, and if it's free, it'll probably start a world war by trying to liberate South Africa, too! You should release it as a satellite, though, to prevent that kind of thing from happening. And then you can just liberate all of the native African nations into Pan-Africa.

I use NC or NatCom whenever I write about them.

Really all political movements are shaped by the situation in which they were created. That NCs might have been created by a lot of the same sorts of people (ie Drexler) who created the Nazi Party but the VSVR in this reality is so radically different to the Germany of real life that it would be ridiculous to think that the NCs would mirror the Nazi Party. The world and the country is a very different place.

What fueled the Nazi party stemmed mainly from Luther and Bismark. It was the culture of Germany which allowed things to take place as they did; that culture would be there, 50 years of Communism or no. A lot happened between the 500-150 years after Bismark and Luther, but the culture they shaped was still there.

Interesting Africa. I once had a friend that thought Africa was a country, shaped almost exactly like that. (he drew it for me, on a map of Africa that I made) The name should be changed to something more interesting, I think. And doesn't Liberia have a cool shade of light purple? That might look nice on a United Africa (the Pan African colors appear to be taken, unless you really want to use black).

And I use Nacis because I don't like them and it's good rethoric. :D

Its a bit unfair to use something that didn't happen in the time-line against them. If you were going for similar, though, I'd prefer "Nacho".

Check the save game and see what techs they have researched?
You could also boost their national bank, to avoid early collapse of their industries. :p

How about pink Africa? Or purple?
 
I think you ought to give them a "greener" green, that is, a less pale green; their colours are red, black and green, but black would probably look weird, and the VSVR is red already, so I guess green is the best colour? If you want to solve the tech thing, you could just soft-mod it by loading up as them and firing some RP-giving event a bajillion times so they catch up. More difficult with industry though. Are they civilized when you release them? It seems that when you release nations, African and Asian ones are usually uncivilized? I've for instance made the UK release heavily industrial states in India and they end up uncivilized without factories. Maybe that depends on the tag you've used (tripoli)?

I'm curious, how strong is VSRV fleet?

Yes, I'd be very interested in that, too. It seems that to defeat the remaining imperialist powers, a strong navy will be key.

I'm in the middle of building a pretty big one. Lots of cruisers and dreadnoughts are under construction. But few have been finished yet.

ps Well I've managed to preserve mabye just under half of Africa's factories. If I load up as Africa at the start and spam build factories then they should do alright.

They are still going to have around 1 million unemployed. :(

But I cannot be certain that you lot will elect a pro-independence faction anyway.
