I for one think Russia has suffered enough, even more so considering it'll start in a war against Cascadia.

Hey, Nein.

If you wish to make Finland a bit bigger, you could consider giving them some provinces in Länsipohja (Västerbotten).

Could also have a united Scandinavian state (Or just name Denmark-Sweden as Kalmar Union?). And since Finland seems to be very much greater here, if it doesn't start out with Ingria, it should probably have claims or cores on it. Possibly also a union or alliance with Estonia?

Hello there! IMO, after Leningrad/St. Petersburg became a major city cores aren't appropiate, though I might give Finland a claim either at the start or through some event. Otherwise I think the Scandinavian setup if fine.
As for Kalmar, as the reason for unification in this TL was conquest rather than any agreement, the Union would never grant any legitimacy in the eyes of other states, so I won't call the country like that.

There was still a lot of Finnic population around Karelia, Ingria and assorted places before Stalin did his 'thing' so I don't think that it would be a stretch for Finland to have cores on Ingria. After a time of integration, of course. Claims are perfectly fine in the end, though.

I see that you wrote you think Scandinavia is fine currently, but maybe there could be the possibility for Finland to assert claims on at the Swedish portion of Torne Valley? I'm thinking the provinces: Kalix, Karesuando, Gällivare, Luleå and Kiruna at maximum extent. I'm not expecting you to of course do any of these things I've outlined, but I thought I'd just post some ideas. It's your mod after all.

And if not Kalmar, then Danmark-Sverige also sounds incredibly sexy. :cool:

I hope you post the timeline eventually.

I guess integration makes sense, but not in Petersburg itself.
And don't worry about chances for expansion, that's what makes these games interesting after all, so I'll add any as long as they are justified, which those you mention are.

Hmm... Poland is already far larger than its historical counterpart, so I'm not sure about giving them anything more than than puppets or events to transfer industry.
