I don't even know how this happened, playing as China I didn't get involved in South America at all.
That's vanilla V2 for you. Russian southwest england, british transdanubia, swedish russian empire, french ostpreussen, those were common sights back then. The AI blobbed all over the world like it was EU3.
I must say in terms of Vanilla Vicky weirdness, this was my piece d'resistance. To be fair though, Grosse Deutschland forming is weird for me.
Ah yes. Mexico. Rising star of the Americas, Defender against the United States, Conqueror of Cuba.
Bastion of.. Democracy?
That is not doing wonders for my economy!
I suppose I just need to get proportional representation and MEP's according to population, but that's a pretty good example of the real problems associated with First Past the Post elections.

Free American War - New English War of American
It should be War of American Restoration but i guess it was too long.

Who broke up America?
I'm guessing no one, since this is PDM. The Civil War probably didn't happen by 1865, Free States event fired, Alternate Civil War happened with the Free States breaking off from the U.S., and then years later everything just collapsed into various different states.
Probably not all too strange, but I thought it was pretty weird overall.
(meant to zoom in to the 48,000 strong Irish army, but didn't.)
No countries satellites or puppets of the UK (that I saw)

Yes, Divide by Zero. It has been a strange ride so far, for sure. I used Liberate Country to free Poland, but Poland broke the alliance and got attacked by Austria then Russia. My early foreign investments into Two Sicilies and Sardinia Piedmont helped for Italy to form with an Industrial Score of 250. I helped Italy to take Southern Tirol and Venetia and then they broke our alliance. Now, in 1874, they've lost Southern Tirol and Venetia and have IS of 100.
I also thought my Liberal (elected) Germany going from Anti-Military to a Jingoistic military policy was strange.
Another thing worth noting is that, shortly after that screenshot, Carlist Spain changed to Spain and had another Carlist Rebellion and Russia succumbed to Jacobin demands.

Sea to shining sea.
So much for the end of communisn.
Maybe I spoke too soon. There is a reactiony uprising in the west and anarcho-liberals in the east.
And somehow the fascists won.:blink:

tends to happen the moment anyone breaks france. years of revolutions and revolving government forms will occur.
As good an excuse as any to liberate the oppressed minorities in Elsass-Lothringen from the French Fascist Jackboot.
I apologize to everyone for this tired old question, but what mod makes Kansai-kun's map look that pretty? I must have it...
He's using a modern day mod, and the map probably ships with that mod.
Yep.
I did liberate it.
France is in perpetual rebellion and at some point the Belgians fought them one-on-one for Champagne - only to fall victim to communists a few years later. After that the Flemish declared independence - then the Wallonians followed suit. What a mess.
There's also a massive communist uprising in Deutschösterreich I really have to put down - I don't want to lose my immigrants.

So I decided to play a different sort of game, and I modded Algeria in PDM to be free of French influence. Apparently the game didn't like me messing with the natural order of things (France must have Algeria!), so it decided to give me the worst borders I have ever seen happen in PDM, competing with the above post's Bosnia enclave and Belgium not actually being in Belgium.
It's like someone took a map of South America and scribbled all over it to make new borders. Really, really bizarre. OPM Peru in Iquitos is also a monarchy, because the game figured this situation alone isn't bizarre enough.
I'm not sure what happened here. I think Russia joined the Oriental Crisis and Egypt's ally Persia joined in to help them. Russia seems to demand Indian Ocean access by taking a random exclave in Persia. South Kaliningrad, call it.
After I saw the above two, I decided to seek out other weirdness in my game. A bit more typical scene, here we see the British trading British Columbia (call it MURRCAN Columbia now!) for Washington (done so in a major crisis war), and why not the good ol' Empire of Mexico? Two PDM games straight now I've seen them after seeing them maybe once in all my other Vic2 campaigns.
And bonus from a previous game!
Apparently noted anti-communist White Russian leader Anton Denikin used to be a communist in his youth. Victoria II's naming system for leaders is lulzworthy, in the same German game my General Staff was Tirpitz and his 8 brothers and cousins, von Schlieffen and his extended family, Moltke the Elder, Moltke the Younger, Moltke the Middle Child, Moltke the Second-to-Last Child, a couple of Hindenburgs, etc.
