Here's a USA gov't I've not seen before

Playing as Japan, I've been using spies to Support Our Party since 1936. It's now May of '42. We're at war - the USA joined the Allies thanks to my rising threat somewhere around 1938, but never acted. When I peeked via my spies, I blinked as I'd never seen this happen before:

Behold the power of spies.

 

[Oof]

Because of the support our party mission, the fascists won the November 1940 presidential election. It's not an uncommon thing.

Oh, I know - I've seen MacArthur as president, but never the full-run of fascists.

Gotta love Lindbergh running the air force.

If you're a single-party dictatorship, *any* state with elections in 1939+ can be similarly victimized as long as you're committed to spying lol.

I've looked into playing a "spy game" as the USSR purely with the intention of turning as many countries as possible to the Comintern via espionage, but sadly it seems to be too difficult to get the handiest countries into the comintern before it's too late and your severely under-teched army has to fight Germany lol.

With the underteched army, are you on the offensive trying to agressively push into Germany's superior forces? Or have you set up multiple defensive lines behind rivers using defense in-depth to slow their advance?

I've meant to be the aggressor to avoid allowing my numerous puppets from falling because that's more fun lol. A comintern Denmark won't stand on its own for very long - but it does offer a really nice spot to hang out .

I'm hoping for HoI4 they include more choices for government officials if a government is turned. Whenever I play as the US I normally can turn Italy into a democracy by 1938 and there is very little choice with government officials.
