Hello all, and I come yet again with a suggestion- more entertaining dialog. As in, the little box that pops up when something happens when say, Germany annexes country A or country B is restored.
You guys can help, too! Just post your idea for dialog for all to enjoy!
For the kind of leader your country is (comrade, fuhrer, duce, king, etc.), just use Leader.
Make the reply button italics, please.

Annexing a country:

Dear Leader,
we have annexed (country name) and they are now a part of our glorious nation!

a. Well, isn't that wonderful?
b. All right. Who's next on the list?
c. What kinds of things shall we do first?




A country annexes a country:

Dear Leader,
we have learned that (country A) has annexed (country B). The international community won't tolerate this...

a. That can't be good!
b. I did not care about that backwater anyway!
c. Let them bleed out, it will all be ours in the end!



Win a war:

Dear Leader,
our glorious nation has won a war!

a. I knew we could do it! (Lose 5 dissent.)
b. Not like they stood a chance anyway! (Lose 5 dissent.)
c. Shall we do an evil or not-so-evil peace deal? (Lose 5 dissent.)




Lose a war:

Dear Leader,
we have lost a war. I hope the enemy's warplans aren't too punishing!

a. Blast you fool! (Gain 5 dissent.)
b. WHAT DID YOU SAY?! (Gain 5 dissent.)
c. Oh, boy... (Gain 5 dissent.)




Paritsans rise:

Dear Leader,
(name of partisans) have taken control of (province name)!

a. Those primitives won't stand a chance...
b. Not like partisan units can win a battle against anything!
c. Send in the troops!




A country declares war on us:

Dear Leader,
(country name) has declared war on us! No need to fear, they're weak and helpless... I think, right?

a. WHAT? We haven't mobilized yet!
b. Funny primitive neighbor attack us strong country. WE CRUSH THEM!
c. They stand no chance against our army.




We annex territory:

Dear Leader,
We have annexed (province names). Our glorious nation has expanded!

a. Next time, we'll take the whole of them!
b. Who was the first to condemn us? They're next!
c. Good work!

Good idea, I'll add that in.

I'd rather the dialog boxes be done up as four panel meme cartoons:

Haha, pun-tastic gold!

On the OP, it'd be a lot of extra work to do, that wouldn't add a lot to gameplay (as it's pretty much entirely flavour, rather than meaningful choice), and the flavour would be in many cases quite ahistorical, so might not go that well with many players. If it was to be looked into, it'd sit better as DLC - maybe Comic Relief DLC? That said, I'm not sure how many would be for it (but you never know :)).
