Idea for Mod: Fascist USA, Comintern Italy

[Matt the Czar]

This came to me as I was playing a German American Bund USA game; storing it here so I don't forget. The idea is that the backstories of Earl Browder (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Browder) and Mussolini are switched. Browder fights in WWI and has his philosophies change to Fascism (a name he makes himself after visiting Italy in 1920), and Mussolini is thrown in prison for being a conscientious objector and becomes more devoted to communism. That means that Italy is drifiting towards the Comintern at the beginning of the game, and the US is drifting towards the Axis. Ideas I also had were Browder, instead of envisioning a new Roman Empire like Mussolini did, wants to take the Monroe Doctrine up a notch by removing all European influence from the Americas through conquest (Belize, the Guianas, Canada, etc.) , and that being a National Focus. Another would being uniting the entirety of North, then South America under US control and culture. Any thoughts?

Well I think maybe as an expansion, more ahistorical National Focii will be added. And that would be great American ahistorical focii

However I know there will be a way to slowly turn the US into a Facist Nation

Thanks, and it's nice to hear the game can go in weird directions like that.

Think I'd start with early Fortifications in the Mountains for a Communist Italy lol, don't want to be a government in exile by 40'.

To my benefit, its really easy to make Browder look like an American Hitler.

That is the issue, though if you can make it until later, Soviet (and Allied if you did your diplomacy right) aid should appear.
