The Confederate States, an alt history AAR.
Telling the tale of the German-American treaty.


Things you should know:
Well this is my very first AAR, so don't blame me for errors. I wanted to do something totally different, not a simple Germany rolls over the world or America invading both north and south. What if the USA and the Germans did a deal? Could be very buggy because of my modding ;).

What happened before
Well the first world war happened. But the Treaty of Versailles has a different entry from the USA than we know today. As of the neighbor country wanted to annex parts of Germany with the problem of the German speaking in those parts. So America wanted to give a part of it's own land (bigger than the part Germany lost), to keep peace in Europe and preventing a second world war. This also solved big problems of the German American Bund that was gaining power. It was ruled by Germany but with a sub government that controlled local affairs. It was not allowed to have a army, but as years passed that law was widely ignored...

This way the Confederate States was reborn.

How did you release the Confederate States? Oh and good luck.
I gave the some provinces like New Bern and changed this:
Code:
owner = USA
controller = USA
add_core = USA
To this:
Code:
owner = CSA
controller = CSA
add_core = CSA
(Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron III\history\provinces\usa)

And create CSA - Confederate State.txt in the countries folder (Just copy the Germany file as I did and change the capital to a ID that is in the USA if don't do that it will choose one at random :rofl:).
(Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron III\history\countries)

Then edit countries.txt adding "CSA = "countries/Confederate States.txt"" under the # Northern America part. Can be a plain copy of the Germany file(you can even link directly to it). It is more fun to create the CSA file as you can give division names like "1. Amerikanische Infanterie-Division" or ""Infanterie-Div. 'Norfolk'"
(Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron III\common\) and (Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron III\common\countries)

Our first CSA AAR, fantastic! I'll be following this. :D
If You Want Something Done Right, Do It Yourself. And it is a very interesting, I have not much IC(At the moment I can only use 7 of the 24) and I'm starting surrounded by the USA and the nations that are guaranteed independence. And being in a alliance with Germany right from the start. Basically making it a race against the clock with a badly balanced country:rofl:.

Wait I want to get the story right.

Virginia is made into a German colony to release some pressure put on Germany after World War One?

The German American Bund had some great influence when the first world war almost ended. There army still had some power when it ended. Being afraid it would happen again and the riots it would cause they gave some land that was owned by the USA so they could react quickly when there would be any problems. No loss for the USA as it was a piece of land that was almost the poorest of the USA of that time.

But what happened to the Americans that were living there? Where the settled in the mid-west?

And if so, then all German citizens and client-citizens live on this little peice of land? With the German-American Bund in command? But answering to the German government?

Ha, no Virginia is not my home. Massachusetts is.... yay.... But I ask these "silly questions" because I dont see the German government taxing Virginians, they would rise up and kick the Germans out before they let that happen.

I am a bit late to this, but is there any way to "Liberate the South" in HOI3? The reason I ask is because I had heard a rumor of this. After hearing that, I checked the flag files and there is indeed a CSA flag in the game. Why is it there? I saw no option to make it a puppet after annexing America either. I was greatly disappointed.

This will be a very fun AAR to follow. Altough I can't see how you will be able to hold yourself agains the US. With the Germans as their allies I can hardly shoot "Go Confeds" however.
