What is the point of adding an occupation area as well for Northern France, Benelux, Denmark and the rest of the occupation territories. Anyway, the borders you set have little to do with the historical borders of the regions

Moscow was both the siege of Soviet of RSFSR and Soviet Supreme.
Weird unique case of doubles status of capital.
USA have federal jurisdiction over Washington but the USSR have not such things like this.

Do you plan to give the land to the countries of the Baltics that was annexed after being occupied by Soviet Union? For Estonia example the lands of Petseri and Jaanilinn. These still belonged to the First Republic time.
Also, why is the country in the north of Estonia called Harnu and not Harju?

Yes, you're right. Kokoomus or Kansallinen Kokoomus is still a Finnish right-wing party and its activities are governed legally and democratically, or parliamentaryly.
The Finnish extreme right-wingers and fascists were more like people's movements and organizations, not parties. Well, IKL (Isänmaallinen kansanliike - Patriotic People's Movement) was a radical right-wing party, but unlike its predecessor - the Lapua Movement - IKL didn't create its own "laws", but held on the Finnish Constitution Law and acted parliamentaryly.
Many members of Kansallinen Kokoomus supported right-wing radicalism and the Lapua Movement, but after Lapua Movement was disbanded and fascism was banned in Finland, also Kansallinen Kokoomus turned into more moderate party.

I'm not terribly knowledgeable about Finnish history, but from what I understand the closeest thing to a homegrown fascist movement in Finland was the Academic Karelia Society (AKS). They apparently proposed something along the lines of Finno-Ugria, so the idea, while still outlandish, is not quite as ridiculous as some people have been claiming it is.
Will there be interactions with Turanist Turkey, and Finno-Ugran Empire ? Like idk, an event where Turanist Turkey demands annexation or puppeting, and given how strong Turanist Turkey is, they'll accept or refuse.
Considering Hungary isn't part of the union, this would be a bit odd since people who actually believe in Turanism and see it as a political goal would be pretty scarce I should think.

Lots of exciting stuff! Thanks for the long, content-rich DD
I noticed a typo in a couple of places: Veteran's instead of Veterans'. I assume there was more than one veteran involved in the fascist movement

Indeed, there was never any realistic chance of Finland going fascist. I do have a question regarding your comment though: who exactly was still sitting in jail 1.1.1936 as a result of the so-called Mäntsälä Rebellion in 1932?

Knowing Paradox, more likely than not. The Finnish "Turanist" branch will likely be the one given most attention, based on some lackwit Internet meme as it is.

Sorry, you’re right...my choice of words were misleading...it should have been they had been sitting instead sitting as everyone was already released until 1/1/1936.
This is interesting and opens up role play ideas. For instance. The Nordic empire Baltic country. Its fascist right? So in return for Germany's help to annex the nords they provide help against the soviets.

Does anyone ever play the submissive paths of minor countries? I think most people need to be submissive in life more than desired anyway so they rather wanna be badass in game

Interesting take.... Lol
Another idea would be a United baltics with independence working with the Soviets or Germans. Just adds more RP ideas.

In fact, Denmark doesn't have any areas in the Scandinavian peninsula any more, though they did in the past. Most of Denmark consist of another peninsula, Jylland. Denmark is still usually counted as part of Scandinavia, but because of cultural rather than geographic reasons, just like Icelanders.
Parts of the Scandinavian peninsula are inhabited by Finnish people, though these areas belong to Sweden. Swedes call these people "Meä people" instead of Finns purely for political reasons, so they would not need to recognize Finns as having an original ethnic minority status - which is rather surprising in itself considering the long stretch of history the two people share.
If Sweden had been able to hold onto the geographic area of Finland, would they not call it part of Scandinavia? You can bet your surströmming they would.
All I'm saying is that "Scandinavia" is a construct made of a mix of geographic, cultural and political reasoning that aren't actually fully consistent. In my opinion, Paradox games, especially EUIV, handle this mix of concepts admirably well through its systems of cultures, core areas, claims, formable nations, and accepted cultures.
In any case, I believe this is called "Estonia is Scandinavia" for a reason. It is a joke. It referd to the Scandinavian countries' refusal to consider Estonia a Scandinavian country (or a Nordic country) for that matter, despite Estonia wishing to be considered as such.
Once Estonia has conquered the other Nordic countries, it can bloody well call itself a Scandiavian country, because there's no-one left to protest. That's what the name of the focus stands for.

Humor is when someone can laugh about a comment. I assume you thought I was serious about it - that's an opinion, too. No offense.

I've said this before but I'll say it again. Please let this be one gigantic DLC. A DLC that revamps a lot of stuff like it seems to be doing with Supply, Armor, and Combat. But something that puts Barborassa into a bigger perspective. Like if the Axis Nations and the Soviet Union are all revamped with reworked focuses that help bring the epicness of the war to scale.
So If we could also get a German rework that focused on the war in the east more. Preparing for Barborassa, supply lines, and so on. If at the least we could get an Italian rework for this then that'd be great also. Germany, Italy, and Japan are some of the most important nations of the war. I doubt it, but a Japan rework I think could be amazing here. Then have the big man itself, Russia.

IMO it is not about historical borders of regions, but rather about historical borders of nations. Nobody cares how your states are arranged inside your territory, but you will notice if the border is wrong.
I based the states eastern borders on the 1939 partition of poland (map below) and looked up some names for the newly created states on google.
Also my point of RKs was that it would be nice to devide the soviet union into little pieces (and also form the Generalgovernment).
