Germany gets to puppet Belgium...fair enough. But shouldn't Belgium give up the Congo to Germany? After all, France and Britain lose their African possessions.

Also, I've read that Germany intended to split Belgium into two, with Flanders and Wallonia, both being puppet states of Germany......a possible way to go for future changes. Currently you have a flag set when Belgium asks for peace terms, flag = { name = flg_BELGERsat value = 1 }. This could simply be the trigger for a Belgian puppet to give up the Congo to Germany.

Hello, OH Gamer?

This event is just a base event, did not have the opportunity to do much more than consider the puppeting so that GER could move on to deal with the other Allies. Plus, if you give GER the Congo while the war is still on, they will probably have a very difficult time defending it from the Allies. Would make more sense to have the Congo transfer after the full peace is signed in a CP victory.

However, time constraints meant this element got overlooked, so I'll develop an event for the next patch that will transfer Congo at the end of the War should CP win and GER puppeted BEL.

as for splitting BEL, that would be something best left to mod developers to elaborate on further - esp since not all in the German leadership supported the idea.
