Divida et imperia?
I like your idea
Some more Manpower.
As you all see this AAR is comming to end. I promised that there will be no radical unrealistic things and no boring world conquest. Epilogue is on it's way and soon we will have things completed.
Good going, but I think you messed up Europe's dividing. Why giving Spain to Greece?
So, what now? NATO is beaten, and Shangai Pact is unopposed.

Ιn the ancient time there was Hellenic colonies all over Mediterranean sea. The french city Marseilles was founded by Hellens, as well as hundreds of cities in the Mediterranean perimeter.
@Beledriel: Because of unknown reason I couldn't liberate Spain after I anexed it. Kaiser Mobius had the same problem. Other way I would make one big Iberian state. First I wanted to give it to France but they realy anoyed me with constant diplomatic negotiations so I couldn't start to negotiate. Only Greece was left to choose and I decided to give them Magna Graecia from ancient times. I couldn't give them all ancient lands but I gave them Southern Italy and Spain. Maybe partition of Italy was not so good choice but I didn't want to mess with revolters file as Yugoslavia already took Venice. Do new borders realy look so bad? If they are unbereable I could try to make some split in Shanghai alliance when small nations would be partitioned. Right now I have much work but update will follow soon and end of story will be revealed.
Thanks for your comments all.

If there is one thing to be learnt from the British Empire, its that you create empires by exploiting local differences.
Spain, for example, is ripe with local nationalism (my ex-gf had a teacher in La Coruna, who said he will rather speak in english than in castilian - aka spanish). So you could, in story terms, create a "free" Galicia, a free Basque country, a free Catalonia, etc.
Italy is a bit trickier in this regard, but i dont hink that the "old" North-South divide would be that hard to spin up again and thus divide the country into what was basicly the Two Sicilies and the north.
Germany is difficult, the reunification being still fresh in this timeframe, and resistance to a split will be strong.
Yugoslavia is doomed to fail, or at least loose its southern end.
The french have made a good deal out of homogenising their culture and people, so they are again, had to split.
GB on the other had just begs to fall apart into their ancestrial kingdoms of England, Wales, Scotland (Ireland).
Of course, do whatever you want, and the division of europe is always going to be much more difficult than the division of India, but still, large, homogeneous puppets have a way of breaking away.

That's wrong. Separatists are very few, even if they make more noise than others (Scottish, Flemish...). And, of the three nationalisms in Spain, Galician is the most weak.
You have good points, maybe you have managed to make this AAR last longer.
German Federation(simple Germany), Mediterranean Commonwealth(simple Magna Graetia) and Adriatic Union(simple Yugoslavia) can be preserved as loose federal states but national movements can make their story. Maybe big ''puppets'' will try to rebel against Russia and we will need several small ones. Even Shaghai alliance is big, it is fragile. Dual Russo-Chinese leadership, many multinational states... we will see if new chapter can be made. Thanks for your suggestions.

Epilogue
Geopolitical map of world has changed drasticaly. In year 2019 four great alliances dominated te world. Once mighty NATO alliance was now limited to British islands, parts of Asia, Australia and North America. But it was still strong, armed with nuclear weapons and in search for new allies. Once pacifistic Japan was allowed to have full military and even nuclear program, Mexico and nations of Central America were tied to United States with loyal goverments and Columbia stayed fortress of American influence in South America. This continent was partitioned among great alliances as left-wing radical party came in power in Argentina joining country with Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and Cuba. But this alliance had many enemies as Brasil was countering new alliance as loyal ally of Indian Union and Americans wanted to knock out socialist alliance to expand their sphere of influence. Only military and economic aid for Argentina from Shanghai alliance prevented fall of balance in South America. Indian Union was big threat to southern Chinese borders and Non-Alligned alliance spread to nations of Third World. Europe was dominated by strong Russian puppets and only presence of Russian army prevented collapse of multunational states. Even with Europe being very unstable Russia managed to maintain control of Middle Eastern reserves of oil while Russian peacekeers prevented religious and ethnic conflicts in Orient. Even if world was dominated by four great alliances fighting over control of bunch of neutral nations, Eurasian alliance that contained most developed nations of world was strongest among all. Peoples Republic of China and Russian Federation were equal leaders of great alliance controling their own spheres of influence. Other allies had little power in alliance as they were being very unstable and controled with tactics of ''divide and conquer''. Now united Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea, Kyrgiz Republic and Peoples Republic of Tajikistan were under strong Chinese influence while Confederation of Uzbekistan was controled by large Russian diaspora. In Europe small Polish Republic was playing buffer between Germany and Russia as Moldova-Romania and Kingdom of Hungary looked at each other with distrust. Extra large Adriatic Union contained many nationalities that were pulling state apart causing country to be very unstable. Turkey was loyal ally but Istambul stayed under Russian military control to maintain control over entrance to Black Sea. Pro-Russian goverments of nations of Middle East managed to preserve political stability with help of Shaghai peacekeepers and Eurasian alliance was supplied with their oil reserves. Big German Federation was loose union of federal republics that were stretching from Baltics to Rome and it's influence was countered by France. West coast of Europe was guarded by loyal Portugese allies as Mediterranean Confederation with main centres in Athens, Palermo, Napoli, Barcelona, Bilbao and Madrid dominated ''Mare Nostrum'' while granting it's nations broad authonomy. Atlantic coast was guarded by United Netherlands as access to North and Baltic Sea was under control of Denmark and Norway. Only Sweden and Finland managed to keep political independence due to good trading relations with Russia. Those two countries were also international diplomatic centres for negotiations between great alliances and massive espionage activity was held there because of strong international presence. Many politics of Shanghai alliance liked to call this time as age of ''Pax Eurasiana'' due to military, political and economic power of this bloc. But will this world order be preserved? Only time will offer answer on this question.
End of AAR.
