Alliances of KR

[Strategos' Risk]

One of the coolest parts of Kaiserreich is that it doesn't adhere to the strict bipolar (or perhaps tripolar if you separate the Comintern from the Allies) structure of the post-WWI world of OTL. Instead you have multiple alliance structures continuing even after the Weltkrieg. As far as I can tell, they are:

Mitteleuropa + colonies
Syndicalist Internationale
Entente
Catholic League

What else is there? Does Russia form an alliance with former imperial states? Does Japan join anything?

 

[viader]

Japan doesnt't join any alliances, Russia can form alliance with Japan (I was lazy and did not do the events about alliance with eastern states like Ukraine or Belarus).

 

[Strategos' Risk]

Wait, so what other blocs are there that could form in KR? There's nothing else?

And it might be trite, but is there any possibility for an analogue to the Axis forming? That is, a pact between National-Populist nations?

There's the Entente, Internationale and Mittel-Europa, of course, but there's also the Catholic Bloc (Carlist Spain, Italian Federation, Ireland and potentially Nationalist France from the Entente), the Greater East-Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere (Japan, Manchuria, Transamur, Formosa, Korea and potentially Australasian Confederation from the Entente and the Pacific States of America post-Civil War) and the South American alliances (La Plata and Chile, as well as Bolivia and Brazil - a resounding win in the South American War that Brazil usually starts after 1938 for either side results in the creation of an almost pan-South American alliance).

 

[Razgriz 2K9]

the Catholic League forms if Carlist Spain wins the Spanish Civil War (Spain would remain neutral and the FAI would automatically join the International) the East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere exists at the start of the game, with Japan, Transamur and the Fentigen Republic as members. The Belgrade Pact would form between any combination of Greece, Serbia and Romania. So we have about 6 blocs right off the bat.

Also, not really.

 

[Asalto]

Mitteleuropa (leader Germany)
Entente (leader Canada)
Internationale (leader Commune of France)
Xavier's Catholic Bloc (leader Carlist Spain)
Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere (leader Japan)
Belgrade Pact (Serbia-Iron Guard Romania-Greece)
Santiago-Buenos Aires Axis (founded by La Plata and Chile)
Brazilian-Bolivian Alliance (regional bloc founded by Syndicalist Brazil and Bolivia)

 

[Strategos' Risk]

Hypothetically, if Russia was to stabilize and become expansionist again, what nations would it form a bloc with? Including possible satellite states formed from territory that used to be part of the Russian empire.

 

[unmerged(169228)]

Russia is deliberately set up as a wildcard, with any ideology being possible to attain. Likewise, Russia is able to join about any major alliance, or can create an alliance of its own.

 

[Strategos' Risk]

Mitteleuropa (leader Germany)
Entente (leader Canada)
Internationale (leader Commune of France)
Xavier's Catholic Bloc (leader Carlist Spain)
Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere (leader Japan)
Belgrade Pact (Serbia-Iron Guard Romania-Greece)
Santiago-Buenos Aires Axis (founded by La Plata and Chile)
Brazilian-Bolivian Alliance (regional bloc founded by Syndicalist Brazil and Bolivia)

For completion's sake, other possible ones are-

Saadabad treaty (defensive pact between Iran, Afghanistan and Azerbaijan)
Egyptian/Hejazi alliance (main opponents of the Ottomans)
