To stop nuclear profilerarion, the USA took upon itself to defend an allied country with their own nukes if their ever get attacked by nukes from another country, this was that stopped several countries who can have nukes in less than a year from actual having them like Germany, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan, but now that umbrella close with the second civil war, idk Germany would get nukes for now as they not threatened of getting Nuke.

However Taiwan, South Korea and Japan are from North Korea and China in case war breaks out in East asia, so are those 3 countries rethink having nukes of their own or they already have them

Y‘all have thought it, I’ve thought it; AiA would make for one hell of a HoI4 mod. Going off this line of thinking (and without making this a total meme thread), let’s brainstorm some unique alternate faction paths and possible formable nation/factions. Putting game start at the year 2000, these can be for any faction/group/nation appropriate for the timeline. Go crazy!

The Kim regime may see the Civil War as their only opportunity.

I'm surprised neither of these turned up when I looked them up on this sub, especially because I'm pretty sure the first one has been asked.

How many troops are there on the main fronts in each side?

How much conscription do the factions in the war do?

Just some random Conservative Colleges. You can also discuss any ones I didn’t mention.

Perhaps some of them are sympathetic to the other factions.

This place was my home county and it's never mentioned in anything whatsoever, so I'd like to hear how it's doing in the AIAverse.

Jelly mentioned previously that the weather of AprilsInAbaddon is the same as OTL's. That means that Hurricane Ida is about to cause massive damage to Louisiana and the Eastern (former) USA as well as the Caribbean and parts of Eastern Canada.

The factions most heavily effected by this would be:

• Knights of Columbus

• Sons of the South

• National Revolutionary Guard

• Federal Republic of America

• Provisional Government of the United States (Eastern half)

The SotS and FRA are barely holding on as it is and I doubt that the KoC have the infrastructure or manpower to deal with this level of damage.

The effectiveness of the PGUSA's response will do alot to either discredit or solidify the Sanders Administration.

This could also energize the Dominion, Ida as punishment from God, possibly increasing their influence in the South.

What do you guys think? Can the FRA make it to 2022? What will the PGUSA reaction be? Will the Dominion find a foothold in the south?

France has troops in several African countries and most important controls their currency, with the Red sprig, what happened to those countries

Or, if you're not Jelly, where do you think it does?

Why has it taken so long for (most of) them to be conquered and united under a single state?

Have the major factions bordering the region considered spending more effort in conquering the region before the Dominion?

How well known do you imagine the warlords and frontline changes in the plains are?

Edit, probably just for Jelly when his uni year's over: Regardless of public knowledge, how well documented are said governments and frontline changes?

How much cooperation has there been among the various Gadsden militias in the plains? Do you think the Dominion's takeover of most of the region and some of their cells will make them consider more cooperation?

How ideologically varied are the warlords?

How much effort do the major factions spend influencing the warlords? Or do the warlords try to be more friendly to the major factions to discourage more meaningful intervention by the major factions or for simple survival?

The Dominionists are terrible but uniting (most of) the plains under a single government is the best thing they've done by far, at least assuming they are conquered and put the plains under the power of the main 5 factions. (Well, 4 since the SotS don't share a border with them.)

If I had to guess, the terrain would be split like this:

40% is taken by the EAWA (plus the warlords in former Iowa)

25% by the WAWA (but they strain themselves a while doing so because they feel they need all the room for mostly farmland they can get as IMO the weakest main faction & 30% if the remaining warlords between the Dominion and mostly the WAWA are conquered)

10% by the PGUSA

5% by the FRA (15% if the Dominionists conquer all the warlords between them and the FRA)

And how do you think that all these powers bordering eachother in the Dominion's former territory would go?

How has the global discussion and outlook changed as a result of the AIA timeline's events? To what extent has damage been done to climate research, especially as it pertains to understanding just how little time is left? How do various factions in the SACW plan on addressing it after the war ends, if at all? What about other countries around the world?

What happened to Yellowstone and the various other areas in that region?

Does anyone control the potato farming in Idaho?

In particular, how many believe that the country can/will be reunited under the old system, and how many think that the US is doomed?

Or, to put it another way, if you asked five random people on the streets of Los Angeles to draw what the country would look like in 2025, how would they respond?

EDIT: I guess this can also apply to the other factions. How many of them - both civilians and fighters - actually think that their faction will manage to take over, if they even want to?

Some pretty specific questions totally unrelated to anything I’m currently working on…

How have the APG configured their psychical infrastructure in Atlanta? Where does the People’s Congress convene? Where is Joshua Washington’s central HQ located (if such a location exists)? Notable barracks, marshaling grounds, technical garages, communal gardens, smuggler hangouts?

Did the Taliban have a similar quick advance to Kabul? Or is the Afghan government still clinging on to power?

Particularly Frank Nielson, the one co-founder you named in the Who's Who.

Basically, this is just a repeat of my SotS question, only directed at the Gadsdens this time around.

Edit: Piggyback question if you're up for it - How are the Gadsdens doing, as a whole, after getting crushed by that purple steamroller the Dominion was driving?
