So, what exactly happened here? From the map's file-name and that above description it looks like Germany/Mitteleuropa got crushed between the CoF and Savinkov, but the Internationale seems to have been dismantled and reduced to puppets of the US afterward, with a similar fate befalling Canada. The 'organic' integralist powers of Catholic Europe + Brazil seem to have been maximally successful (I'm guessing the brown on the map is supposed to be Spain and its sphere, probably led by Carlists?), as has Japan.

I'm interested in knowing more about America. Base KR has removed the ability to avoid the 2ACW (you would have to play Kaiserredux to get it back) so I'd imagine either Big Mac has defeated all opposition or Long's AUS was victorious, hence all that expansionism (especially against the syndies) and creation of satellites. That a few American satellites have been termed 'democratic' does imply the possibility that MacArthur won the civil war but then went the Cincinnatus route or a civilian president managed to stay in control the entire time, though.

1. The Anglo-Afghan War went shit for the Raj.
2. MacArthur pulled a pro-gamer move blitzkrieg and annihilated the CSA, AUS, PSA in a matter of months.
3. They couldn't recover Hawaii who had returned as a Monarchy and is pro-Japanese just as Philipinnes
4. I don't remember which Russia, I have played, but it's not democratic and has achieved a warm port and a breathing space to not worry about the west ( likewise the US doesn't give a shit as OTL)
5. Yes Germany got crushed and redrawn.
6. The Entente intervened on the Pacific States side and went against Italy as well. MacArthur didn't go immediatly back to democracy (see Nigeria, Germany, France, the former British Union) and the only few democracies.
7. The partition of the Isles came after the Anglo-Canadian-American War, which saw Canada keeping it's entirety and the Carribean but there was no reclaiming the birthright.
8. Portugal, after the WW1 sat it out, same thing for Spain.
9. Mittelafrika War went bad for the Germans, Portugal liberated and established puppet-buffer states
10. Spain also took advantage of the situation.
11. Japan stayed democratic and established simpathetic puppets including in Korea. The only non-democracies are the Legation Cities, Thailand (Phibun's Natpop) and Tibet.
12. Collectivelly, both Entente, Austria Hunguary, Ottoman Empire and Germany got curbstomped by everyone else.
13. Italy went federation after the Venetian rebellion, but had unfortunatly absorbed the largely Integralist kingdom of Two Sicilies and Papal State, the first which had many puppets in North and Horn of Africa.
14. Brazil was integralist and syndicalist/totalist neighbours attacked (stupidly) one by one, which saw Brazil putting puppets in large units except for Uruguay. Paraguay gained a ocean access just to be the buffer state between Argentina AND Brazil.

Basically my fixed idea is : how to screw up Germany as much as possible?

Currently I am, undecided on what to do with Alaska. I wanted to give it to the Japanese...

Well if Mac's established himself as the hegemon of North America (Canada included), it does seem very unlikely that Japan would be able to hold Alaska even if they took it previously. Would make a good mirror to how the Americans themselves would almost certainly have a fantastically hard time trying to retake Hawaii in this world, actually.

Thanks for the feedback. Do you mind giving it some to my other project as well? Would love to hear your opinion! @Circle of Willis
