Imperial Britain

^{Flag of the Commonwealth of Britain}

Official Name: Imperial Britain, Commonwealth of Britain (Reformist Path), United Imperial Commonwealth (Conservative Path)

Ruling Party: Conservative Party

Ideology: Conservatism

The British Empire, once the undisputed ruler of the world, stands at the weakest point in their long history. The Great War broke the old Concert of Europe, once so dutifully maintained by diplomats and leaders. Britain, caught up in the conflict, sacrificed millions of their soldiers across the French and Iberian fronts. While Europe languished in their postwar depression, Britain retreated into isolationism, relying on an increasingly dysfunctional system of imperial trade. With their Imperial Confederation appearing archaic and the Constituent Commonwealths more assertive, Britain faces a myriad of threats with and without.

---

• Black-and-Grey Morality: While Britain still engages in imperialism and can create weapons of mass destruction, they are saints compared to the ultranationalists in France and the Russian Tsardom.
• The Empire: Britain in 1933 is the largest colonial empire in the world, propping itself up with the exploitation of countless colonies across all continents.
• The Federation: If the reformist path is taken on foreign policy, Britain can reform its empire into a federal union where it is theoretically no more important than any of its former colonies.
• Resurgent Empire: If Britain manages to defeat France and Russia in the Second Great War and successfully sideline the UC, it can become the dominant power once again.
• Space-Filling Empire: Should Britain complete its centralization policies, it will form the United Imperial Commonwealth. It consists of the British Isles, British North America, Carnegia, and British Oceania.
• Vestigial Empire: Downplayed. Britain still has an empire spanning the globe, but internal problems and rebellious subjects make their current position less than ideal, not to mention that the United Commonwealth has grown to be an equal power to Britain and can potentially outrank them. Played straight should they lose the Imperial Civil War.

HRM Victoria

Role: Monarch^note Country Leader

In-Game Biography ^{Click to Show}Queen Victoria, born Alexandrina Victoria, is debatably one of the oldest living human beings alive, though some treasonous luddites might try to dispute the human part. Ascending to the throne in 1837, Victoria would reign over the British Empire throughout its' pivotal evolution during the 19th Century. In particular, her private support of the abolition cause in the United Commonwealth played a role in the ultimate end of the practice in British North America. Marrying Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, the Queen would act as something of an impartial observer in Imperial politics, using the rotating residency of the royal family to win support from the Constituent Commonwealths.

In 1894, her life would change forever when Charles J Guiteau fired three shots at her while attending a speech by then American Prime Minister Neal Dow. Historians debate the exact reason for Guiteau's attack, as Guiteau himself was gunned down by the Royal American Mounted Police shortly after fleeing. Victoria suffered two gunshot wounds and was rushed to a nearby hospital to undergo treatment. The Queen's condition was stabilized the following morning and representatives of Edison Medical, a branch of the Edison Electric Company, approached the Queen and royal family with a radical untested treatment. Victoria agreed, over the protests of her consort, and underwent an eighteen hour surgical procedure. She emerged as one of the first human beings to survive surgical augmentation and organ transplantation, a living triumph of Imperial technical prowess.

Though less of a public figure after the death of Prince Albert, the Queen nonetheless remains a pillar of the British Imperial mythos. As time goes on, however, and her children and grandchildren come of age, it has become clear that they may never see the throne in their lifetime as long as she persists. Acutely aware of this, the Queen and her loyalists opted to offload most of them to the colonies as governor-generals or advisors, fearing that court intrigue would be a destabilizing force.

As the lights across Europe dim once again and America seeks their own path, the ever present Empress Eternal remains. To some, an image of hope and technological progress. To others, a grim portend of a future immortal aristocracy, a humanity without humanity, ruling from this day until the end of days.

---

• Assassin Outclassin': Queen Victoria survived an attempt on her life in 1894.
• Cyborg: In this timeline, Queen Victoria was the first ever cyborg, as the result of an effort from the Edison Electric Company to save her life. Because of this, she is the longest reigning monarch in human history, living long enough to outlive Prince George V, who dies at the start of the game.
• Older Than They Look: Due to her cybernetic implants, Queen Victoria looks far younger than her age of 114 would indicate.
• Outliving One's Offspring: Queen Victoria is so old that she has managed to outlive Prince George V. Not like she was happy about it.
• We Can Rebuild Him: Queen Victoria was given cybernetic implants by Edison Electric after nearly dying from an assassination attempt, becoming a nearly immortal cyborg in the process.
• Who Wants to Live Forever?: Queen Victoria was left depressed over having to see her loved ones die over the years, including her late husband Albert. If she is offered to be immortal, she has the option to decline the offer.

King Albert

Role: Governor-General^note Figurehead (United Commonwealth), Governor-General^note Figurehead (Carnegia, George succession), Monarch^note Country Leader (Victoria succession)

In-Game Biography (Governor-General of the United Commonwealth) ^{Click to Show}The Council of Five is an unofficial government system within the British Empire established under the reign of Queen-Empress Victoria. While previously Commonwealth Governor Generals were appointed under advisement from London, it became unofficial policy to place Victoria's growing number of grandchildren across the Empire. This was done as a means to both curtail any upstart princes, as well as to foster a greater familial imperial identity. Though they only carry so much power as their individual offices allow, Council of Five Governors work closely with London and the Crown, although some carry their own personal ambitions.

Appointed in 1917, Prince Albert is the face of the third generation of Victorian Princes, being the first son of Prince George to be appointed within the Council of Five system. Throughout his youth, Albert remained unremarkable and inoffensive, briefly serving as a cadet in the Royal Navy. Seen by London as the most preferable successor after Prince George, Albert's appointment was more a method to keep him safely away from European affairs than anything. He remains a quiet force in American politics, opting to interfere little beyond personal philanthropy and appearances. His most notable achievement continues to be patronage of the medical sciences, attributable to his struggles with hearing loss and lingering respiratory problems from previous typhoid infection.

Ruling Party: Front Populaire Français^note French Popular Front

Ideology: Despotism

Rising from the ashes of their catastrophic defeat in the Great War, France is a nation reborn. The failures of the Bourbon dynasty have paved the way for the rise of ultranationalist fervor. Germany and Britain have suffered weakness and failure, while the peoples of France waited, regaining their strength. Under the guiding hand of Grand Marshall Doriot, France is once again able to stand up to the perfidious Germans and reclaim her rightful place as Europe's dominant power.

---

• Allohistorical Allusion: As France is a thinly-veiled analogue for Nazi Germany in this timeline, there are a few references to the Nazis throughout their flavor text:
  • The treatment of France following the Great War is extremely similar to the treatment of Germany following the First World War, with an extremely harsh treaty aimed at punishing them and removing their ability to wage war. Just like Germany in real life, this didn't really work and has lead to the rise of far right extremist political movements and a desire for revenge against the British and Germans.
  • France has a powerful paramilitary force known as the Sécurité Publique (or "SP") with more than a few similarities to the Schutzstaffel and the Milice.
  • One of the military focuses is named "Foudres de Guerre" (or "Lightning of War") and enables tactics quite similar to Blitzkrieg.
  • France can expand its motorways in a very similar manner to Germany's Autobahn.
  • After France wins the great war, they will grant the SP Hannover, which is similar to the "Order-State of Burgundy" in France proposed by Heinrich Himmler^note This also may be a Shoutout to The New Order Last Days Of Europe.
  • If taken over by the SP, France will be renamed the French Social Republic, after the OTL Italian Social Republic, Nazi Germany's Italian puppet state during WWII.
• Break Out the Museum Piece: If things start going badly for France during the Second Great War, one of their national focuses has them loot their museums for every gun they can get their hands on.
• The Empire: France's focus tree allows to expand its territory rapidly, and should it win the Second Great War, it can establish itself as the new hegemon of Europe.
• Expy: In this timeline, France is a nation bitter from losing a brutal war that became an ultranationalist dictatorship that puts Jews and foreigners in concentration camps and plans to conquer Europe. Sound familiar? That being said, it's also possible for Armand or Maurras to overthrow Doriot and turn France into either a Sorelian national syndicalist state or an integralist monarchy respectively.
• I Can Rule Alone: The various far-right factions that make up the French government all hate each other and actively conspire against one another. In the end, it's only possible for one faction to prevail: whether Doriot's self-coup succeeds in getting rid of the opposition, or Armand and Maurras successfully cooperate to overthrow him before turning on each other.
• Interservice Rivalry: The French military and the SP are bitter opponents, and various in-game decisions allow you to either balance the two's influence or favor one or the other. If you favor one too strongly, the other will attempt to overthrow the government.
• A Nazi by Any Other Name: France is ruled by a far-right, rabidly expansionist and extremely anti-Semitic government, a clear counterpart to OTL Nazi Germany. The main difference here is that French Neo-Imperialists are extremely anti-German rather than anti-Slavic.
• Patriotic Fervor: Incorporated as a game mechanic that affects your recruitable population and how hard it is to force you to surrender.
• The Purge: In each of France's paths, there are focuses dedicated to eradicating other factions in the government.
• State Sec: The Sécurité Publique acts as the paramilitary arm and security service of the regime.

Jacques Doriot

Role: Country Leader

Party: Front Populaire Français^note French Popular Front

Ideology: Despotism, Ultranationalism^note Neo-Imperialism (Successful Doriot coup)

---

• The Coup: Doriot plans to seize absolute power for himself by way of a self-coup. Whether this plot succeeds or not will decide France's path for the rest of the game.
• Cult of Personality: Propaganda portrays Doriot as the face of the new France after he takes full control of the country.
• Illegal Religion: Doriot's regime is very hostile to the Catholic Church, as he believes it distracts citizens from their devotion to the state.
• Pet the Dog: While Doriot is a brutal and genocidal tyrant, he can improve the lives of his citizens (at least, the French non-Jewish ones) a bit by subsidizing schools.
• Stay in the Kitchen: Doriot's "New Feminism" is thinly veiled sexism that "encourages" women to fulfill their "natural role" as homemakers.
• Tyrant Takes the Helm: Doriot is the most brutal of the potential French leaders, purging anything and anyone that competes with the state for influence and instituting brutal genocide in areas near the German border.
• Visionary Villain: Doriot views his rule as "year zero" for his nation, and plans to completely remake France in his image.

Inessa Armand

Role: Country Leader (Doriot removed)

Party: Front Populaire Français^note French Popular Front

Ideology: Revolutionary Nationalism^note Neo-Imperialism

---

• Allohistorical Allusion: The titles of two of her focuses ("Socialism Without Internationalism" and "Nationalism Without Capitalism") are references to a quote by Gregor Strasser, since her ideology is also a synthesis of ultranationalism and socialism. Another of her lines, "revolutionary against the revolution", is a reference to a quote from Adolf Hitler.
• Breaking the Glass Ceiling: Armand could be France's first female leader in this timeline, and radically expands women's rights in her regime.
• Commie Nazis: Armand's "left-nationalism" is an odd blend of the far-right and far-left, denouncing both capitalism and internationalism as tools of tyrants.
• Historical Villain Upgrade: While a communist politician in real life mostly known for her romance with Vladimir Lenin, in Pax Britannica she is a national syndicalist and leads her own political movement that can take France (and Europe) by storm.
• A Lighter Shade of Black: While her regime is still totalitarian and chauvinistic, Armand at least makes an effort to improve the lives of her people with syndicalist economic reform and instates some limited democracy.

Charles Maurras

Role: Country Leader (Doriot removed)

Party: Front Populaire Français^note French Popular Front

Ideology: Despotism

---

• Evil Reactionary: The restored monarchy is dedicated to returning France to an imagined glorious past and restores the power of the nobility and the Church, and is nearly as racist and anti-Semitic as Doriot's government.
• The Fundamentalist: Maurras makes an extreme interpretation of Catholic doctrine a guiding principle of the French state.

Jean I

Role: Monarch^note Country Leader (Monarchy restored)

---

• Puppet King: Jean I serves as nothing but a figurehead of Maurras.
• Rightful King Returns: If Maurras stops Doriot's coup and prevails over Armand to become France's leader, he restores the Kingdom of France and crowns Jean, the Orléanist pretender to the French throne.

Charles Noguès

Role: General, Country Leader (Military coup)

Party: Front Populaire Français^note French Popular Front

Ideology: Despotism

Leader of the Military Faction.

---

• A Lighter Shade of Black: The military is far less morally bankrupt than the SP and purges its worst excesses. That being said, they still maintain the revanchist policies of France and maintain anti-German and anti-British sentiment.
• Military Coup: If the military gains too much influence, it will coup the government and install Charles Noguès as the new leader of France.

Joseph Darnand

Role: Country Leader (SP coup or Alemannia formed)

Party: Front Populaire Français^note French Popular Front

Ideology: Ultranationalism^note Neo-Imperialism

In-Game Biography ^{Click to Show}What else can be said about the man of every rumour? Joseph Darnand, chief of the SP and a personal friend of Maurras and Doriot, is a man of short stature and big sin, keen to abuse his position of power when it fits. If rumours are to be believed, Darnand currently resides in a house previously owned by an old Jewish family who he got deported on charges of thievery. The man didn't even have the wit to wait for at least a month before he made the empty house his home, pouring fire on the rumours that this wasn't an isolated incident.

Beyond his exploitation of power, Darnand is supposedly part of mystic groups, engaging in various forms of Celtic, old Christian and even Roman paganism. At least, that is what you would hear from the café worker or the train instructor. Tales from goat guts to tell the future to actual human sacrifice are pinned on Darnand, though its hard to say what is real or what is not at this point. It has always been popular to depict enemies as pagans, crazy or weird, so the precise details will never be known.

What isn't a rumour is Darnand's iron grip on the SP. Despite being chief of the militia and sharing his power with a few others, Darnand has birthed a cult of personality around himself in the organisation, with a few battalions declaring loyalty to him and not the state. While the SP is far from his personal fiefdom, even after the coup, it still remains a powerful tool which Darnand may use to further exploit France and its people. One can only wonder how many houses will be empty and how many families will be deported before Darnand is truly satisfied.

Leader of the Sécurité Publique, the paramilitary arm and security service of the regime.

---

• Allohistorical Allusion: Darnand is one to his OTL self, who was the leader of the Milice, a paramilitary organization of the Vichy Regime, but also one to Heinrich Himmler, he is the leader of an organization obeying primarily to him instead of the state and with its own paramilitary force and they both share an interest in the occult.
• Expy: Darnand's depiction shares similarities to Himmler's own in The New Order Last Days Of Europe, with both seeking to replace the dictator they serve by performing a coup and Darnand can become leader of his own state as a fiefdom for his organization, similar to Himmler's SS-led state in Burgundy.
• Ghostapo: A French expy. Darnand has a significant interest in the occult and is the leader of the SP, an ultranationalist paramilitary force in France with similarities to OTL Nazi Germany's SS.
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Should Doriot consolidate his rule, he has the option to purge Darnand in order to strengthen his influence, replacing him with Xavier Vallat.

Xavier Vallat

Role: Country Leader (Darnand was purged, SP coup or Alemannia formed)

Ideology: Neo-Imperialism

In-Game Biography ^{Click to Show}Once a devout catholic and a loyal monarchist, Vallat hasn't called himself those things in years. Mutilated by the Great War, Vallat was there to bear witness to things no man should have ever seen. An especially gruelling memory of friend devoured by livewire during a German trench run remains haunting to the old veteran, to the point that few conversations on the war don't end with Vallat reflecting on his helplessness back then. With the horrors of war turning Vallat away from Christianity and the monarchy, he quickly became a member of the National Front and the SP militia. Rubbing shoulders with Doriot while keeping Darnand at a comfortable distance, Vallat was able to become secretary of the militia, responsible for the more administrative side of murder and disappearances, keeping the SP out of the mock judiciary of the old dictatorship.

Now, Vallat has found himself standing before the golden throne of France. With little to stand for without the old party beyond his rabid antisemitism, Vallat has turned himself into the man keeping the SP together, keeping it from total anarchy and pointless violence. Instead, Vallat functions as Frances Machiavelli, forming an economy of violence by abusing the connections in the militia and the government, keeping them on a short and tight leash. For now, the SP will function as Vallat's tool for national stabilisation, yet it remains to be seen if he can keep this situation running.

How long until violence implodes in on itself?

---

• Defector from Decadence: His experience as a soldier of the Great War turned him against away from Christianity and the monarchy, becoming a member of the National Front and the SP militia.
• Eyepatch of Power: Vallat lost an eye serving in the Great War and wears a distinctive eyepatch in his portrait.

Ideology: Liberalism

The United Kingdoms of Germany are in the center of Europe and so influenced by all. With victory in the Great War Germany finally became the second strongest colonial power and had a chance to create great impacts on history such as Britian and Russia. However after the war, failures, mistakes and missed opportunities cost the United Kingdoms great deals of influence and power. Germany is the center point of Europe, enrishing itself in all the different traditions and trends around the world, experiencing another political lockdown and suffering another economic crises. Germany needs to change to have chance of returning to stability ... No ... to survive the impending hell.

---

• Allohistorical Allusion: While PXTL France is an analogue of Nazi Germany, PXTL Germany is an analogue of OTL France.
  • The Maginot Line was constructed in Alsace like in real life, albeit by Germany instead of France.
  • Should Germany get defeated by France in WW2, the French will set up Nuremberg Germany, an equivalent to Vichy France.
• Curb-Stomp Battle: Being an analogue of OTL France, Germany is one of the hardest countries to play as in Pax Britannica; when not controlled by a skilled human player, it is doomed to get defeated by France and Russia.
• The Federation: The United Kingdoms of Germany consists of German regions minus Schleswig-Holstein and East Prussia, as well as Bohemia and Slovenia.
• Government in Exile: If defeated by the Pacte Revanchiste, Germany's government will retreat to its African colonies, forming the German Liberation Forces there.
• Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act: Hitler in this timeline never became the anti-communist and dictator he did in our timeline, ending up as a painter in a Venice commune. There's an event where an implied time-traveller kills Hitler, and is quickly detained, however upon being detained he quickly becomes hysterical, trying to explain that he miscalculated, and went to the wrong timeline, having ended up in Pax Britannica's timeline, instead of his own.
• Irony: In OTL, Prussia unified Germany, with Austria being left out. Here, Prussia and Austria's roles have been switched.
• Shout-Out: At one point, the United Kingdoms of Germany has to investigate about a play known for anomalous activities named "Der König in Gelb".

Official Name: Independent State of Prussia, Kingdom of Prussia (Junkers coup), Greater German Reich (Northeast Germany conquered), German Empire (Declare the New Empire Focus), Universal Empire (World conquest)

Ruling Party: Vaterlandsfront - Prussonationalist Faction^note Fatherland Front: Created shortly after the Prussian civil war in 1921, the party places a heavy focus on traditional conservative values. Following in the footsteps of the old Prussian nation the party also emphasizes the importance of the military, all aspects of life being in some way connected to the so called 'martial lifestyle'. Children are put into youth programs, women play the role of the carer, and men are either employed into laborious jobs or directly serve the state through military positions. The main portion of the party, the Vaterland Front, are considered fairly radical, even but far-right standards. The most radcial being of Schmidt's clique.

Ideology: Prussonationalism^note Neo-Imperialism

The Independent State of Prussia, simply Prussia, has been ruled by the Vaterland Front for the past decade. The ultranationalist regime under Philipp Bouhler has been slowly readying the state for the eventual coming war that will grip not only the soul of Europe, but that of the globe. Whilst the Anglo-German hegemonies might be too blind to see that Europe has boarded a one way trip straight to war, Prussia and its peoples' have long awaited for the moment where they could finally prove to the world the true capabilities of Prussia's eternal glory.

---

• Allohistorical Allusion:
  • Prussia serves as Pax Britannica's equivalent of Austria, rather than being the unifier of Germany.
    • Prussia's current ruling party is the Vaterlandsfront, which bears similarities to Austria's Fatherland Front, an Austrofascist political party opposed to Pan-Germanism.
    • Prussonationalism also has similarities to Austrofascism, as both ideologies reject Pan-Germanism in favor of nationalism.
    • Shortly after independence from Russia, Prussia was initially a democracy before falling into civil war between the liberals and the Prussonationalists, mirroring the OTL Austrian Civil War between socialists and nationalists that happened after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
  • Prussia also shares some characteristics to OTL Nazi Germany.
    • A lot of Prussian politicians and generals were part of the Nazi Party OTL, most notably people like Bouhler, Rosenberg, Speer, Ribbentrop, and Bormann.
    • Prussia's intelligence agency is named the Ordnungspolizei, sharing the name of the OTL police force of Nazi Germany even though it is actually closer to the Abwehr, the military intelligence service of Weimar and Nazi Germany.
  • Bouhler's coup, a march of veterans seizing the capital and with it the control of the country, is reminiscient of Mussolini's March on Rome and a successful version of the French 6 February 1934 Crisis in OTL.
• The Coup:
  • Bouhler came to power by leading a march of Great War veterans to overthrow the short-lived liberal democratic government of Prussia.
  • Should Bouhler fail to crush the Junkers in time, they will stage a coup against the Vaterlandsfront and restore the monarchy.
  • In the Junker path of Prussia, if the government fails to capture major Russian cities in one year, Alfred Rosenberg and his militarists will launch a coup against the king.
• Dark Horse Victory:
  • Should Bouhler's Prussia unite with the Brandenburg-Prussians, the world will be greeted with surprise due to Prussia's humiliation throughout the years.
  • Despite its difficulty, it's actually possible to unify all of Germany as Prussia if they get couped by the Junkers and the Habsburgs go into exile in Africa.
• Irony:
  • Because Austria united Germany in this timeline, Prussia now serves Pax Britannica’s equivalent of OTL Austria.
  • A lot of the Prussonationalists were not actually born in East Prussia OTL, like Bouhler, Bormann, Mengele, Speer, and Ribbentrop.
  • The organization created by Prussia to unite the reactionary and ultranationalist movements of the world against the "Judeo Liberal World Order" and dedicated to exterminate leftism is called the "International".
• Short-Lived Leadership: The country's liberal democratic constitutional monarchy did not survive long after it proclaimed the independence of Prussia as Bouhler led a march a veterans on the capital and successfully overthrew them.
• Start My Own: While the Prussians still view themselves as Germans, they believed to be different from mainland Germany and desire a newly forged Prussian identity. Downplayed in the Junkers Coup, as unlike Bouhler, the Junkers desire a German identity and can potentially bring all of Germany under them should the Habsburgs go into exile.
• Take That!: According to the lead developer, the situation of Prussia in this timeline is solely to make fun of the concept of Prussian militarism.

In-Game Biography ^{Click to Show}Philipp Bouhler nicknamed the counsellor (Der Berater) has seen Prussia rise from the ashes as a rebirthed nation under Russian influence. A once simple farm boy turned solider during the great war he has seen the world at its quietest and loudest moments, serving in the Russian 3rd cavalry regiment. A regiment compromised of a Prussian majority that would soon turn against their forefathers in the Prussian war for independence during 1921. A war that proved successful in establishing a independent Prussia of sorts, heavily monitored by the Tsar's right hand.

Originally a fierce supporter of the democratic republic he soon saw through their antics and gained power through a bloody battle in Königsberg that lasted no longer than two days. Russia, meanwhile, looked with great interest towards Bouhler seeing him as a leader who aligned more towards their views and a possible proponent for a more Russian dominated Prussia. Secretly funding him and his Vaterland Front.

Following the ideals of ultranationalism he advocates for a state incorporated by Pure Prussians though this "wish" would meet criticism by his overlords and would usher in a new age of diplomatic strife between Europe's two greatest powers. Germany and Russia. Nicknamed the Great Game.

Russia now stands, bloodied but unbowed, and faces an uncertain future as their former German and British allies now stand opposeed to them. The future will belong to the Russian Empire, even if it has to alter itself irreversibly to achieve it.

---

• A Lighter Shade of Black: The Russian Empire is an imperialist superpower that performs Russification and is allied to France. Though unlike France, Russia can actually become a genuine democracy.
• Allohistorical Allusion:
  • Russia bears similarities with 1930-40s Imperial Japan.
    • Russia has its own equivalent of Unit 731, it being Area Zero.
    • Russia's Moscow Circle path is similar to Imperial Japan during the 1930s and the 1940s, since both regimes are ultranationalistic, militaristic, and expansionist.
  • Russia also shows similarities to Fascist Italy since both countries were on the winning side, but they gained so little in the peace conference.
  • Russia's path to democratization makes references to the USSR under Mikhail Gorbachev.
    • The democratization process is called the Glasnost Policy in the teased focus tree.
    • In the event of a military coup, the putschists will form the State Committee on the State of Emergency.
• Balkanize Me: Should Russia lose in the Great War, it will collapse into a three way civil war. While that happens, the Caucasus will collapse into multiple warlord states, Central Asia and Altai will gain independence, Alexander Kolchak will set up an emergency government in Siberia, while Japan and the LON will set up puppet states in Far-Eastern Siberia and Western Russia respectively.
• The Conspiracy: An elusive group of arch-reactionary and ultranationalist military officers known as the Moscow Circle exists within the Russian military and seeks to undermine the country's democratic institutions. Among the suspected members is field marshal Lavr Kornilov.
• The Coup: Should Russia become too unstable, general Anton Denikin and aristocrat Felix Yusupov will lead a coup to dethrone the current government and bring the Moscow Circle to power.
• Deity of Mortal Creation: The Russian Cosmist path involves the creation of the God Engine, not a deity itself but a mean of communication with the Abrahamic god, believed by the Cosmists to speak through technology.
• The Empire: The Russian Empire is way more powerful than its OTL counterpart and is the second largest empire just behind Britain.
• Evil Colonialist: In this timeline, Russia has done ruthless colonialism and Russification, making it the closest we get to PBTL’s Imperial Japan. In the cultures map, it shows that Russification was more successful unlike in OTL. Poland and the Baltics are shown to be partially Russified, Ukraine is dominated by Malorussians, while Belarus is completely Russified. Aside from that, they also launched invasions in Mainland China, conquering all of Manchuria and parts of Xinjiang and Mongolia. Lastly, when the First National Awakening erupted in numerous parts of the Russian Empire during the 1920s, they responded by deploying Tesla-devices against their own people to lethal effect. Oh yeah, they also have their own version of Unit 731!
• Expy: In this timeline, Russia emerged as one of the victors of the Great War. But the Treaty of Tours has led Russia to completely cut ties with its former allies, while becoming more friendly to France. It also does a brutal campaign of colonialism and Russification to a point where cultures like Belarusian are non existent. Does that ring a bell?
• Foil:
  • They are one to France, since both regimes were screwed over after the Great War and dreams to get revenge against the British and Germans. Though while France is doomed to be an auhoritarian revanchist dictatorship, Russia can potentially reform itself into a genuine democracy, though they still maintain their colonial policies.
  • They are also one to Britain, as both countries are opposing superpowers whose mega corporations dominate their countries and are the main competitors in the Orbit Wars. It is also worth mentioning that both countries still maintain their colonial policies even after Britain reforms itself while Russia democratizes. Though unlike Britain, Russia aligns itself with France and vows to seek revenge against Britain and Germany, whereas Britain does not hold any revanchist policy.
• Immortality Seeker: One of the Cosmists' objectives is to achieve conquer death through science and technology, overcoming the limitations of the human body.
• Occupiers Out of Our Country: The Second National Awakening is a revolt from minority nationalities within the Russian Empire seeking independence from it through violent means.
• State Sec: Like in OTL, the Okhrana exists in the Russian Empire as its state security apparatus but its powers were greatly expanded to combat the Nationalist Rebellions which followed the First National Awakening.
• The Theocracy: The Russian Cosmists merge Church and State into one.
• Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters: Several nationalist groups from Ukraine, Poland, the Baltics and Finland have declared war on Russia to gain the independence of their country, committing assassinations, bombings and hijackings. The Russian government treats them as terrorists but to some of their countrymen they are liberators from the Russian government's oppressive policies regarding non-Russian populations.

Ruling Party: Renovación Española^note Spanish Renovation

Ideology: Despotism

---

• Allohistorical Allusion: The various exclusion zones Spain set up around areas left infested by live wire and contaminated by chemical weapons following the Iberian Campaign are most likely a reference to the French red zones, areas declared off-limits following the First World War due to large amounts of unexploded ordnance, heavy soil pollution from chemical weapons, and large amounts of human and animal remains, some of which remain off-limits to this day.
• Even Evil Has Standards: They are a brutal dictatorship putting on airs of being a theocracy, but even they dislike the fanatics in Portugal.
• Forbidden Zone: The aftermath of the Great War left Spain devasted, with its northern regions being invested with livewire. As a result, the government set up livewire exclusion zones in the northern region.
• Let No Crisis Go to Waste: Spain will take advantage of the desintegration of the Maghreb Concessions Zone to occupy the part in northern Morocco. This ends up causing a war with the Kingdom of Morocco as it wants to retrieve its northern coast.
• Shocking Defeat Legacy: Spain has gone through a century of humiliation, with the defeat and occupation by the Anglo-American forces during the Great War being only the latest.
• The Theocracy: After the devastation of the Iberian Campaign during the Great War, Spain fell to the Holy Military Orders in reaction to the Fatimist uprising in neighboring Portugal. However, it is noted that they are actually closer to a traditional junta putting on airs of being knightly orders, as shown by their starting ideology, unlike Portugal, being Despotism rather than Religious Fundamentalism.

Bishopic of Andorra

Official Name: Bishopic of Andorra

Ruling Party: Grup Nacionalista Integral^note Integral Nationalist Group

Ideology: Conservatism

---

• Only Sane Man: Of the three Iberian theocracies, Andorra is the only one that isn't a brutal dictatorship ruled by fanatics that the rest of the Catholic Church dislikes or a brutal dictatorship run by people pretending to be fanatics, instead being a democratic, constitutional monarchy that, due to the quirks of history, has a bishop for a monarch.
• The Theocracy: Downplayed. Because the British and Germans wanted to punish the French in every way possible following the Great War, Andorra has gone from a Co-Principality ruled by a Spanish Bishop and the French President to being an independent Bishopric. However, outside of removing one of the co-princes, the government mostly functions the same as it did before, with most actual governing being done by the elected General Council, making it closer to a constitutional monarchy whose ruler happens to be a bishop than a full-on theocracy like Spain or Portugal. Tellingly, one of the major issues they are dealing with is a massive refugee crisis caused by people fleeing the Fatimist theocracies in Portugal and Spain.

However, Boucher's presidency is at risk, many Frenchmen have crossed or are trying to cross the border in an attempt to distance themselves from the regime in France. Many of whom are Jewish which has caused elements in the Breton far right to raise voices of concern. Despite these critical individuals most of the Breton people have remained steadfast in their leading government's decision to embrace any fleeing Frenchmen as their own, no matter their faith or race. Under Jean Boucher Brittany will seemingly continue its newly founded legacy as Europe's little haven with a big heart.

Pius XI

Role: Pope^note Country Leader (Election)

Ideology: Conservatism

In-Game Biography ^{Click to Show}Born: 24/3/1884
Born Eugène-Gabriel-Gervais-Laurent Tisserant, the new pope Pius XI is one of the first non-Italian popes in recent memory, born in the city in Nancy and studying theology in that very same city. An eager student of almost anything, Tisserant is fluent in Amharic, Arabic, Akkadian, English, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Latin, Persian, Russian and Syriac. It is perhaps through his linguistic skills that he was given the role of intelligence officer in the French army during the first Great War.

While a French patriot through and through, Tisserant now stays in the Vatican as the world outside has changed significantly. France's devolution into ultranationalistic totalitarianism was especially heart-breaking to the new pope, who has since then given refuge to multiple French anti-government intellectuals in Rome. As the pick of the more liberal faction of cardinals in the Vatican, Pius XI is expected to be a serious departure from the more stable rule of Benedict XVI's compromise. A pope so staunchly anti-totalitarian and with experience in war, Pius XI promises to be a fresh change in the Holy See.

---

• Good Shepherd: Pius XI is a fierce opponent of the French regime and dictatorships in general, welcoming anti-government intellectuals seeking refuge in Rome.
• Omniglot: Pius XI is fluent in 13 languages: Amharic, Arabic, Akkadian, English, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Latin, Persian, Russian and Syriac.
• Overly Long Name: His full name is Eugène-Gabriel-Gervais-Laurent Tisserant.

Clement XV

Role: Pope^note Country Leader (Election)

Ideology: Reactionism

In-Game Biography ^{Click to Show}Born in the Austrian city of Graz, Alois Karl Hudal's German nationality would help him gain a position in the Anima during Benedict XVI, as the pope sought to preserve German dominance of the institution instead of letting it fall in Dutch or Belgian hands. From his position in the Anima, Hudal would go on to become one of the largest proponents of the French system of national chauvinism inside the Catholic Church, with his magnum opus "The Foundations of Moral Nationalism" approving of Doriot, D'Annunzio and other nationalists and their commitment to the Church. He's also a big proponent of anti-semetic conspiracies, applauding Doriot's policies regarding the Jewish and Protestant populations of France.

His vocal support for these kinds of regimes has split the cardinals. While a large selection of anti-revolutionary cardinals picked the new Clement XV, the more liberal faction of cardinals heavily oppose his appointement. They have failed to stop Hudal's selection as the next pope.

The Catholic Church is about to find itself in rocky waters in the coming decade and it is unclear if Hudal will keep the ship afloat or if he will personally help it to the bottom of the sea.

• Evil Reactionary: Not only is Clement XV classified in-game as a reactionary, but he is also a great supporter of the French dictatorship, including its persecution of Jews and Protestants and its intertwinement with the Catholic Church, and a proponent of antisemitic conspiracy theories.

In-Game Biography ^{Click to Show}Constantine I, the King who would reconquer Constantinople, has achieved immense popularity amongst the Greek populace ever since the successful transfer of the Western Turkish states from the Russian client state of the ottoman Empire. Known as the Aegean treaty of 1914, Greece would be granted large swaths of Turkish lands in exchange for semi-permanent Russian military presence. That as well as an almost total Russian presence. mai as well as an almost economic dominance in the Greek military-industrial complex. Critics say that Constantine I had surrendered his nations independence to Russia, but it is undeniable to mention the popularity and prestige such a deal gave to the Kingdom of Greece.

Constantine I has increasingly sided with autocrats and reactionaries within the Greek parliament, expanding both the military budget to appease generals and admirals alike, as well as cracking down on individual freedoms. However, the King is old, and his time may soon come to abdicate to his son George II, but there a rumours behind the triumphant banners of this ascendant Greek state that there are those that wish to return to the Republic of old.
