Due to my name, it will probably surprise no one that I want to set up a communist state as early as possible, specifically in germany or brazil. How would I go about this? Also, I hear a lot of countries have different flags when they go communist. How many have them? Does canada? Because I would love to create a Peoples Republic of Canada, complete with flag.
There are a few ways to do this.
First, you can let commie rebels take over your capital and hold it for a year. That will trigger the commie government event. Or, you can leave half your land under commie rebel control for a year. That'll trigger it too, but, you have to have enough commie rebels to pull it off, which, at the start of the game, is unlikely to happen.
Second, you can manually trigger the government change in the console (F12).
Be careful, though, becuase, though it may surprise you, most POPs aren't socialist, so they're liable to hate the new government and revolt. But that can be overcome. Just don't think it'll be clear sailing all the way (as if it ever is).
About the flags. You can see them all in C:\Program Files\Strategy First\Victoria\gfx\map\shields. Canada, sadly, has no special communist flah, but Brazil's got a spiffy one.
Good luck, and let us know how it goes,
