New updates will come later tonight after I have done some painting and tested whatever I can update to the new mod version without losing the control of my game.

World Revolution carries on
Soon application requests to join the Phalanstere Internationale started pouring in to Paris. The success of several Socialistic revolutions, many of them bloody, all over the world had left many nations with dwindling industry and they realized that they needed help. The first one to apply was Bolivia who was being crushed between the bourgeois governments of La Plata and Chile. But Paris and the people of France were willing to help the comrades in need.
Radical Socialists took over in Centro America and immediately applied for PI. The Americas were a boiling kettle waiting to explode and Paris wanted the world Revolution to take over Americas. So Centro America was accepted in.
Tianguo troops had managed to win major victories against Qing armies and they had seized Forbidden City and forced Pu Yi to flee to Manchuria.
Panama was one of the American nations to join PI too. Also Bhartiya Commune and Spain joined in too.
Return of Manchuria
The Qing armies were finally crushed by the Tianguo forces and the Empire met its end in in December 1937. The Heavenly Kingdom was now in control of northern China.
Pu Yi tried to seek refugee in German controlled China but he was turned down when he wanted to establish the Qing empire there. The Germans then offered Pu Yi to Japan, who surprisingly wanted him to rule in Manchuria.
Pu Yi was made the head of state in the New Manchurian Empire.
Finland who was now control of all Scandinavia decided, under the guidance of Vihtori Kosola and his Lapua Movement government to revoke the rights of Swedish speakers in Finland.
Glad to see this back on track. Why did the worker's stalwart that is France stand by while Norway was overrun by reactionary Finns?
Well that you have to ask from the Britons who decided to sit on their asses.
Levi PI
National France finally let Lévi-Strauss free from their dungeons and Paris decided to invite him back to France. Lévi-Strauss happily accepted the invitation.
The bigger syndicalist nations began to apply for the PI after France had accepted many of the smaller nations in. The first one to ask help was Mexico.
Our friends in Italy were also accepted in.
Soviets finally managed to subjugate Alsha Orda back to their "Empire".
Tian Empire was steam rolling against the old Sino Coalition.
damn, when Soviets end their "civil" war and apply for membership in PI will you accept?
The Soviets won the civil war and now they are going on about reclaiming their land. I've never seen them joining PI, instead they always go with their own Comintern bloc.
Ike to the rescue
The American civil war dragged on with the Eastern Seaboard in control of CSA and AUS while the Western states were held by the United States. MacArthur had failed to quell the rebellion and he stepped down of his role as the President and appointed Dwight "Ike" Eisenhower to be his successor. "I like Ike" was written in the propaganda leaflets send to the big cities.
Union of Britain decided to send T.E. Lawrence to spread revolution in Germany and collapse the state from inside. How this would fare out, we would soon see.
Once again on Labour Day people all over France gathered to celebrate in Paris.
The Tyrants in Africa, known as National France faced an rebellion from the Tuareg population.
Our friends in Centroamerica decided that it was time to liberate the workers of Honduras by force.
Who's Island is it anyway?
With the PI help CNT-FAI was marching towards victory in the Spanish Civil war and the Germans started to get worried that the socialists would cut them off from Mediterranean. So when the news about CNT troops landing on Gibraltar reached Berlin, Germans send their fleet towards Gibraltar to secure the Island.
Kingdom of Spain fell soon after they lost Gibraltar. The Spanish Civil War was now between the Carlist in the northern coast and with CNT-FAI.
CNT-FAI didn't want to lose Gibraltar to the Germans so they send an plea for protection to France. Taskforce from French Mediterranean fleet was sent to secure Gibraltar for France.
i think it doesn't matter now, with PI so grand, with ussr in the east, German fall is a matter of time... a red day shines on the world but the germans are still oversleeping...
Well we shall see what happens.
Well PI is not an alliance so it's not that grand to be honest and USSR is usually pretty stubborn in their own ideologies. But the Reds are coming.
Just a warning: the USSR has an event where they can join WWII, but their AI is borked so they'll likely deploy everything to the Ukrainian front and leave literally no troops defending the Baltic border, so the Germans will waltz across them. This will in turn trigger a relatively quick Bitter Peace, which also ends your war with Germany.
Ottomanian Troubles
The Ottomans were facing a lot of armed uprisings in the middle east. Mostly it had been against Kurdis in the Kurdistan region but the incompetence of the Ottoman government lead to unrest in Cyprus and eventually to a full scale uprising.
Tripolitania saw their opportunity to cut the remaining ties to the Ottoman Empire and declared independence. Ottoman rulers had no option but to let them go or else they would risk their homeland.
The CNT-FAI was gaining land against the Carlist and the Portuguese government started to get afraid that the Syndicalist would rise in power there. So they did something that would seal their fate. They joined Mittleuropa and Germany.
Ottomans were given no slack when Armenia joined the rebellion together with the Arabians.
End of Spanish War
The Tuareg rebellion was swiftly crushed by the Nationalist French men in Africa. But the trouble there was not over for the Guineans had rebelled against the Nationalist and were now fighting for their freedom.
In Spain CNT-FAI had crushed the Carlist forces and was now in control of Iberia and the capital was returned to Madrid where the socialist forces celebrated their victory.
July 15th our brave volunteers from Spain returned home bringing glory and experience with them. Once again the Socialism had won a victory against the right wing ideologies. Revolution goes on.
Those unfortunate to be captured alive by CNT-FAI, whatever they were Carlist or supporters of the Kingdom, they were sentenced to serve their whole lives in prisons or they were simply executed.
Franco-Iberian Union
Even though the Spanish Civil War had ended the internal troubles were not over. There were still several loyalist groups operating underground and from Portugal.
Iceland was granted independence by Denmark. Could Iceland survive in this inhospitable world.
Our spies told us that Iceland had tried to broker a deal with Canada but apparently Canada has declined it.
Paris feared that the new CNT-FAI government in Spain wouldn't be able to handle their affairs and the rising tensions between German and French with the invasion of Gibraltar and Portugal joining MittleEuropa. Paris offered a deal of protection to Spain as long as they would agree to become a minor partner in Franco-Iberian Union of Syndicalist People. Spain agreed and French soldiers were sent to deal with rebels as well as humanitarian aid was provided.
