* PuppetState: North France begins under direct German occupation (called in-game Herrschaftsegebiet) and will remain their puppet state even after its dissolution.
* LaResistance: French Resistance continues to exist, ready to exploit any weakness to expell the Germans from Northern France.

* ReluctantRuler: Von Bock counts the days until the military occupation of northern France ends, so he could return to Germany and receive a hero's welcome. Before that, however, he has to sign paper after paper and reconstruct the country he's forced to call home.

* WeHardlyKnewYe: Von Bock will retire by the end of 1948, the game's first year.

* RightfulKingReturns: Henri VI is the Orleanist claimant to the throne of France, his dynasty having ruled the country from 1830 to 1848, when it was ousted by a revolution.

** Spain is, with Norway, the last European country with a socialist government. A more radical faction may even come to power under the right circumstances.

* AllohistoricalAllusion: The paternal autocrat path for the kingdom includes forming a party named the "Front National".

Born in the province of Brandenburg, Bock is just as Prussian as the Kaiser. A monarchist, militarist, and decorated veteran of the First Weltkrieg, it's no that Wilhelm III handpicked the Marshal to surprise be the one to capture Paris in 1945. However, the great honor of capturing the heart of Syndicalism turned into Bock's curse, as two years later he still leads the Militärverwaltung von Nordfrankreich. Bock's army soldiers and officers are now replaced with an army of bureaucrats and garrison troops. It's lucky the Marshal is able to speak fluent French, since it seems everyday more and more of his loyal men are replaced with collaborators itching for a spot in whatever state succeeds the occupational government.\\\

Tōgū Palace, Tokyo, Empire of Japan\\\
For the citizens of Japan, the Emperor isn't an ordinary man, nor a simple monarch. He is, put simply, no less than a god, and the living embodiment of the Japanese nation. His Imperial Majesty represents a divine dynasty that has lasted for over two millennia, acting as a universally-respected figure of national unity, irrespective of the viewers ideology or belief.\\\
When Hirohito assumed the Chrysanthemum Throne following the Emperor Taishō's death in 1926, there were many uncertainties. The days that followed the May 15th Incident would end them, as democracy fell to pieces and Hirohito approved a coup to restore order to the National Diet. In the Showa era, the National Defence State would rule.\\\
With Hirohito's silent approval, Japan marched to war on every front. Against the soft underbelly that was the aging German East Asian fleet, the IJN would provide the total victory that Hirohito could be proud of, liberating South-East Asia from the imperialist yoke. But their counterparts in the IJA would more than disappoint. Unprecedented guerilla warfare destroyed overstretched supply lines, and the recapture of Beijing cracked the facade of Japanese invincibility. Eventually, Hirohito couldn't remain silent any longer, and thus he requested a ceasefire be pursued.\\\
The Emperor's word is gospel, and with it the National Defence State collapsed.\\\
In its place, Hirohito would oversee a new, civilian-led government to ensure Japan and its Kokutai could survive; the People's Government Association. Having overseen two seismic regime shifts in two decades, the Emperor's true views remain as opaque and mysterious as ever. As the years wear on, many politicians ask. Who really is Hirohito? Only the Imperial Majesty could answer that, something he'd never do.[[/labelnote]]

Shibuya City, Tokyo, Empire of Japan\\\
Politics is a crude business, especially in the Empire. Regardless of how benevolent one's ambitions may be, they must be ready to cease any semblance of integrity or morality to achieve their visions. That's where Yoriyasu Arima comes in.\\
One of Konoe's finest lieutenants, Arima is a product of the statesman's strategic political maneuvers, ensuring that he and his clique will not be left in the dust of the New Order. A revolutionary noble like Konoe, he has endowed himself with the works of Marx and Stimer and an ardent supporter of the People's Rule Movement, believing that such archaic systems eventually bring about resentment and suffering - something that the Empire is currently beset by.\\\
While a supporter of People's Rule, he is no saint or blinded by naivety. His stint in both chambers of the Diet has taught him that revolutions require dirty hands - hands which he shall provide. Through a mixture of showering Yen to his rivals and stacking his cabinet with unsavory personalities, he has maintained near-absolute control over the Minseikai, ensuring he has enough ammunition to implement his reforms.\\\
Yet, the throne he sits on is nothing but a house of cards. His facade may be clean, but the skeletons remain. The crude tactics that Arima insisted on using incur a debt - one that is awaiting its payment. Eventually, one day or another, his debt will be too much to pay. Yet, at the end of the day...\\\
The people will decide his fate. After all, the people rule, right?[[/labelnote]]

->'''Ideology:''' Social Democracy
->'''In-Game Biography''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]Born: 1892\\\
Chen Qiyou was a young man studying medicine when China flared up in revolution. An early member of the KMT, Qiyou would serve as Chen Jiongming's secretary and close confident, though he would step away from politics during the KMT-Jiongming schism that ripped apart Guangdong. After several years working in as a low-level bureaucrat, Chen would return to politics, joining the CZGP in 1931, being elected to the Provincial Assembly later that year and quickly regaining the favour of his former mentor. When the League collapsed, Chen would be instrumental as a diplomatic negotiator, forging ties with other newly-independent provinces and being largely responsible for the southern alliance that would become the Guangzhou Government.\\\
The Japanese invasion of Guangzhou threatened to undo everything the Federalists had created, and the retreat to Chongqing was costly. But Qiyou saw an opportunity to bury the hatchet with the resurgent, recently unified KMT, and combine their forces against the invaders. Working alongside Madame Soong to persuade his mentor to step down for the good of China, the initially shaky alliance between the KMT and CZGP proved to be just strong enough to stabilise the front. It was no surprise then that Qiyou was selected the new Chairman of the CZGP, to be the Federalist torchbearer into the future.\\\
As President, Qiyou oversaw the expulsion of the Japanese hordes, and the triumphant return to Guangzhou. His rule has seen the entrenchment of the federalist, pluralist values the Constitution was built on, and the expansion of democratic institutions to fulfill Jiongming's vision of a free multi-party democracy. As the area controlled by Guangzhou continues to prosper, and Federalist thought is disseminated throughout the provinces, many have come to see Chen Qiyou as the perfect leader of China: A diplomatic, altruistic statesman, forever willing to serve the people.[[/labelnote]]

Haicheng, Fengtian, Qing Empire\\\
There's an unspoken rule in many Asian societies - only the most powerful positions are reserved for elders and elders alone. That is until Zhang Xueliang was born. Known to many as the "Young Marshal", he is one of the youngest generals that ever walked the Earth. Born to a military family, it was no coincidence that he decided to follow the footsteps of his father, Zhang Zhoulin, to become a soldier, a particularly competent one at that. He was a rising star, the perfect successor to take his father's place on the pedestal.\\\
Yet, even a soldier can break in an instant.\\\
Guo Songling, Zhang's mentor and friend, was executed by Yang Yuting. The "Young Marshal" was gone. He succumbed to a life of booze, whores, and opium. What was once China's youngest and most successful general is seemingly lost, replaced by a man who can't face his fear and his inner demons, who decided to drown himself in phantom pleasures in an effort to escape his true destiny.\\\
Fortunately, redemption is ripe for the taking.\\\
As Japan sent its waves of soldiers to punish the so-called "rebellious state" of Fengtian, Xueliang saw an opportunity to redeem him. With the help of his adjutant, Lu Zhengcao, he was able to free himself from the from the chains of vices. One by one, the Japanese fell as they witness the return of the "Young Marshal", bolder and fiercer than ever. When his father died, he inherited the position that he was destined to hold - leader of the Beiyang Government. But the newly minted Xueliang has a troubled time ahead.\\\
The Guangzhou Government, led by the Kuomintang and the Federalists, have called our rule as nothing but autocratic and corrupt, seeing it as unworthy to lead China. Negotiations are underway, but that is just the exterior. Many factions want Zhang out of the picture, with Generals already plotting under his shadow. Many things can happen, but one thing is certain:\\\
Fortune favors the bold, and bold action is needed.[[/labelnote]]

* RedBaron: The Young Marshal, due to his youth while most other Chinese political and military leaders are much older.

'The Model Governor'.\\\
Part warlord, part philosopher, no nickname can describe the pragmatic and opportunistic governor of Shanxi any better. A combination of diplomatic flexibility, heavy foresight, and more than a little bit of luck have protected Yan's position for almost 4 decades, and under him Shanxi has weathered storm. Taking the Xinhai power after Revolution, Yan watched as China collapsed into a quagmire of chaos and war. Determined to stop the same fate from befalling Shanxi, he set out on a mission to transform the province into a 'Model Province' through his 'Six Policies and Three Affairs' effort. The fall of Feng Yuxiang only only furthered Yan's power, as he consolidated control over all aspects of the province. In no way a petty warlord however, his syncretic philosophical ideology of 'Yan Xishan Thought' has influenced many aspects of his administration, helping maximise his ideological pragmatism.\\\
As a regionalist, not a nationalist, Yan has cooperated with every party imaginable to further the interests of Shanxi. In the recent decade, he has managed to stand on the right side of history every single time. Dropping his policy of armed neutrality, he gave support to the Manchu Restoration, but rescinded it after the Qing collapsed into civil war. In a move that would gain him infamy, he gambled everything on supporting Zhang Zoulin's invasion, recapturing the eastern Zhang mountains in the process. He would later stand firm with Fengtian throughout the Second Sino-Japanese War, despite his lucrative dealings with the Japanese in the past. His defence of Shanxi has made him a national patriotic hero, in the face of traitorous collaborators and fifth-columnists.\\\
With tensions rising between the two Chinas, Yan will have to pick his side in the coming conflict very carefully. The fate of Shanxi lies with his next gamble...[[/labelnote]]

Hezhou, Gansu, Qing Empire\\\
Where does one start with Ma Bufang? A moderniser who has brought Qinghai into the modern age. An islamist militarist who has managed to balance out the old Hui-Han ethnic divide, and saved his lands from the brink of defeat. A centralising general who has begun to alienate his own people. Bufang is all of these and many more.\\\
Usurping Qinghai from his uncle Ma Lin after the loss of Yushu to the Tibetans, Ma Bufang quickly got to work consolidating his power over the other Ma provinces. The recapture of Yushu was a cause for celebration, even if it was mostly thanks to the forces of Sichuan. His heavily criticised Suiyuan Deal, where Shanxi was permitted to re-occupy the region in exchange for military support, could have ended in disaster for Bufang. But instead, it sent the Mongolian troops into chaos, and ultimately ended the war in the Chinese's favour.\\\
When the war was won, Bufang's work wasn't over. Ending the rivalry between Ma Hongkui and Ma Hongbin wasn't easy, but by playing them off eachother Bufang was able to secure his position at the top of the clique. With industrialisation campaigns paying dividends, and strict policies on left-wing revolutionaries keeping destabilising influences at bay, the Ma Clique has flourished under his rule. However, his lack of commitment to the Beiyang Government during the Second Sino-Japanese War angered many, and his hardline positions are beginning to cause political stagnation. With Bufang setting his sights on expansionism to reinvigorate faith in his administration, anything but absolute victory is likely to bring the knives out once again.[[/labelnote]]

Yueyang, Hunan, Qing Empire\\\
Governor Liu Wenlong never wanted the spotlight. Beginning his career as a prefect of various cities throughout Xinjiang, Liu made a name for himself as a competent administrator and bureaucrat, though even he was tainted with the corruption that collapsed the Great Qing. Eventually, his skills were noticed by Governor Yang Zengxin, and Liu was appointed Commissioner for Education in 1922.\\\
Liu would diligently continue in his role, before being transferred to Xinjiang's representative in Beijing. This was an important role, but his 'promotion' was really to keep him out of domestic affairs; his policy of conciliation with the Ugyhurs was unpopular, and deemed to be potentially dangerous to the Xinjiang administration.\\\
When Zengxin disappeared in 1936, Jin Shuren was promoted to Governor. The two disliked each other, but Liu's competence in Beijing ensured his position was protected. Shortly before the Xinjiang War, Liu attempted to advise Jin to have a softer touch on the Uyghurs. This, of course, fell on deaf ears, and Xinjiang ignited into civil war. Jin's armies would be victorious, but at the cost of a lengthy partisan campaign stifling administration.\\\
Jin's growing unpopularity, mainly over the lingering Uyghur unrest, made Liu unexpectedly popular. Upon Jin's sudden death in 1941, Liu was backed by many elements within the government to become his successor. Though he holds the position of Governor, Liu is really just a civilian figurehead for the military administration. Many would consider being a near-puppet a bad thing, but the elderly Liu is perfectly content to remain in his post, diligently working to keep the fragile peace in Xinjiang.[[/labelnote]]

* TheDissenterIsAlwaysRight: Liu Wenlong advised Jin Shuren to enact softer policies towards the Uyghurs but was ignored. Jin Shuren's harsh rule was directly responsible for the civil war in Xinjiang.
* InternalReformist: Liu pursue a policy of conciliation with the Ugyhurs, originally unpopular but seemingly vindicated by their continued resistance to Jin Shuren's harsher rule against them.
* KickedUpstairs: Liu was transferred to Xinjiang's representative in Beijing, a nonetheless important role, to keep him out of domestic affairs.

Born to the late King George V and Queen Mary of Teck on March 31st, 1900. Due to his status as a royal, Henry grew up in a privileged lifestyle. Like his brother Albert however, Henry had many medical problems. As his father ascended to the throne in 1910, he became third in line to the throne, a position he would never reach. While not as bright as his brothers, he became known for his lively attitude and enthusiasm.\\
Due to his studies and his lineage, Henry joined the Royal Armed Forces soon after leaving university. Instead of joining the Royal Navy, he instead joined the Royal Army. He was soon commissioned a second lieutenant in the King's Royal Rifle Corps on 16 July 1919. He was soon deployed to the Western Front Front, seeing combat for the first time. Each day seemed to be worse and worse as the Allied forces got pushed farther and farther back. A few months later, Henry's father and the rest of the Allies pressured France to sign the Peace with Honor, ending the Weltkrieg.\\
Henry was sent home where he stayed within his military post until the British Revolution when he fled to Canada with the rest of the Royal Family. Once in Canada, he took up the position as a major-general in the Canadian Army. After the Second Weltkrieg and Reclamation of Britain ended, he took up the position of Governor-General of the Australasian Confederation where he stands as the leader.[[/labelnote]]

He enlisted in the ANZAC after the Weltkrieg broke out in 1915 first serving as a territorial. Henry would see combat on the Western Front. He would rise to the on: he would rise to rank of second lieutenant. However, during the Battle of Messines, he would experience extremely fierce combat. Due to the mutinies within the French Army, the British and Commonwealth forces had to fight on their own. After a rather decisive victory, he contracted an unknown illness and was sent home to New Zealand.\\\
Once he was back in Christchurch, Sidney was known for playing with New Zealand's national hockey team but soon got into politics after the Melbourne Commune and the merging of New Zealand and Australia. Sidney took his father's seat in politics after he was injured in an accident. Soon after he took his father's seat he soon joined the United Australasia Party.\\\
After the coup attempt, he fled to New Zealand. Once the Guard had been defeated, Sidney took up the position in the Federal Council. In the years following the Second Weltkrieg however, the UAP government has been in a state of disarray with the resignation of Stanley Bruce. Sidney had soon taken up his position as Prime Minister, hoping to lead Australasia into a golden era.[[/labelnote]]

Having spent most of his adult life in Rio de Janeiro, however, first as a manager of Caixa Econômica, then as a congressman and speaker of the House, Solano da Cunha has hardly any political ties left with his home state. Perhaps it was his closeness to central power that preempted the Liberal Party to nominate him in 1947 to succeed Altino Arantes as President of Brazil, razil, expecting him to rely on the Paulista caciques of the federal PL rather than let him have an independent power base in Pernambuco. Despite being known to have an agenda of his own, such as trying to reconcile the PL and the Evolutionists, one must be a fool to believe that Solano da Cunha can act independently in any matter of serious political importance, for every step he takes must first be approved by São Paulo's Liberal establishment.[[/labelnote]]

First elected in 1902, Albert Sarraut made a name for himself with his advocacy for laicite and adherence to negotiation in the face of crisis. His pre-Weltkrieg career took him quite literally across the world, from a series of minor cabinet posts to two largely unremarkable terms as the Governor of French Indochina. Recalled at the end of the war, Sarraut initially sympathised with the strikers. But he remained loyal with the Republican Government, trying fruitlessly to open up dialogues to calm the revolution. Fleeing to Algiers, he continued to take up increasingly important posts as the Republic fell into deeper and deeper crises. First Colonial Minister twice, and then Interior Minister in the fateful final government before Petain's coup, something he supported to save the nation.\\\

Since reaching the largely ceremonial post, Sarraut has remained a steady hand. He's lobbied for reconciliation with former Communards, supported the broad alliance marshaled by Mendes France, and has quietly rivaled Colonel De La Rocque. But he proudly refuses to overstep his boundaries. If something is the will of Parliament, then it is the will of the French.[[/labelnote]]

** Spain is, with Norway, the last European country with socialists in its government. They may even come to power.

Now, those enemies lay destroyed, and the Kaiser stands victorious. An avowed autocrat, Wilhelm has joined Reichskanzler Bredow in planning for a 'Zentralisierung' of the government, though the growing domestic troubles need to be dealt with before any change can be implemented. On the I stage, Wilhelm's opinion of the liberal superpowers is plummeting. Thinking nothing of his so-called 'equals' in France and Canada, he sees them as naive and weak, led by idealists who don't understand the modern world. His world. The Kaiserwelt.[[/labelnote]]

->'''Party:''' Deutsche Nationale Einheitsfront[[note]]The Deutsche Nationale Einheitsfront (German National Unity Front) is not a political party in the traditional sense, but rather a political experiment by Ferdinand von Bredow to essentially redraw German Politics. Combining a broad united front of conservative & anti-democrat military and civilian officials, the DNE's ultimate aim is the 'Zentralisierung' of Germany: to supplant the traditional, multi-party Prussian Constitutional system and replace it with an efficient, centralised dictatorship acting in the 'imperial interest above partisan politics'. Nationally conservative, monarchist and statist, their overarching ideology is directly informed by the Reichskanzler, and by a lesser extent the Kaiser himself. As such they can be somewhat ideologically fluid, but always absolutist in nature. The DNE enjoys the direct support of the Kaiser, and many of the most politically influential groups in the Empire. It can be likened to a modern incarnation of the functionally defunct DVLP, though with völkisch elements sidelined.[[/note]], DNE (SB) (Schleicherist path), Deutschkonservative Partei[[note]]The Deutschkonservative Partei (German Conservative Party) was formed in 1876, and ever since has been either the ruling, or one of the most important, parties in Germany.

In this place he has dominated South African politics for twenty years, initially under the South African Party before uniting with J.B.M. Hetzog to form the United Party (which Hertzog wou would promptly leave due to South African entry into the Second Weltkrieg). During his tenure he has overseen a number of reforms, both regarding the slight loosening of racial politics and the modernization of South Africa's economy, creating a South Africa truly ready to enter the modern era. Despite this, while it was spared the horrors of the Weltkrieg, South Africa has begun to tire under Smuts, and it is not an uncommon belief that change must come.

Born in Canada to Romanian immigrants, Jacob Viner is the textbook definition of a technocrat. A professor of economics at the University of Chicago starting from 1916, Viner was part of a group of economists who advocated a fringe policy known as 'Keynsianism.' While not a hardliner, he did believe that the solution to economic depression was increased government spending. When the US did not heed the advice of the Keynsians, he returned to Canada just before the 2nd American Civil War.\\\

Inaugurated in 1943, after years of warfare and Republican authoritarianism, the new Paulista-dominated Liberal political order seemed fragile at best. President Altino Arantes knew that the survival of the regime depended upon bringing the maximum number of states into the sphere of influence of São Paulo and the PL, and that would inevitably have to include Minas Gerais. Being a traditional bastion of the PR, however, the whole Mineiro establishment was implicated in the Vargas government and unwilling to cooperate. Lacking better alternatives, the Paulistas were forced to forget the grievances of the Inter of the Interstate War and turn to their former enemies, the of the old PRM. The disgraced Bernardista wing of the old Bernardistas, in turn, preferred to keep their separate identity and founded the Autonomist Republican Party, despite the party being little more than a local satellite of the PL. While the PL-PRA alliance has successfully managed to hold together for for now, some Autonomist Republicans, members of the younger cohort of the party, have shown worrying inclinations towards the PSR.

After the Civil War, a progressive, social christian party was estabilished across the whole of Italy in the form of the Italian Popular Party, that gained control of the Republic in 1936 and of the Two Sicilies as the Christian Democratic Party in 1922. However, due to the Military Government that then ruled the Country and the prevalence of the Sardinian Action Party in the later elections, the Popular Party didn't gain much of a foothold.

After the end of the War, the Sardinian Democratic Union and the piedmontese scion of the PPI found themselves running against each other; however, shortly before the 1946 Special Elections, the two parties fused to form the Christian Democracy, and went on to win the Special Elections. As a result of all these fusions and compromises however, the White Whale is plagued by factionalism. Several factions rapidly emerged within the Party, though they weren't based on former party memberships or region of origin. The first faction, though roughly a reincamation of the Piedmontese PPI, are the Toselliani, from the piedmontese deputy and former anti-Maximalist resistance fighter that became cornerstone of this faction; it is the centre-left wing of the DC, arguably socially progressive and in favour of social and economic reforms. The second faction are the Segnisti, or the Centre-Right wing, who take their name from Prime Minister Segni: encompassing most of the former Sardinian Democratic Union and several anti-socialist Piedmontese deputies, they are mainly royalist and conservative.

!!''Amedeo I''

->'''In-Game Biography:''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]Born: October 21st, 1898\\
Turin, Piedmont, Kingdom of Italy\\\
Amedeo is many things. An inquiring explorer, a brave soldier, a charismatic commander, but most importantly a fearless and reckless man.\\
Before taking the throne, he fought the Austrians in the trenches; an experience that left him with an undying hate for the Austrians, only bested by his hatred for the socialists that destroyed what remained of his country.\\
After the end of the war, he traveled through Africa for several years, only coming back due to his father's decaying health.\\\
When Amedeo took the Sardinian throne in 1931, things were bleak for the Savoyard monarchy, with the Socialist Republic ready to occupy the island should the Sardinian government show weakness, and with popular support for the King lacking. Emanuele Filiberto had been, despite his autocratic tendencies, a popular King due to his legendary reputation as a fearless commander gained during the First World War; and most doubted Amedeo would live up to his father's legacy.\\\
After a decade, everything has changed. Following his victories during the Second World War, Amedeo now rules from a liberated Turin, his legacy as a Soldier King solidified, and with the monarchist movement in the whole of Italy slowly gaining ground; and, while the most pragmatic members of the Sardinian Government doubt it, he believes it won't be long before the Savoyard monarchy is restored in the whole of the peninsula.[[/labelnote]]

Sassari, Sardinia, Kingdom of Italy\\\
Affiliation: Rightist Christian Democrats\\\
Antonio Segni is the prime minister of Sardinia and is a conservative along with being a supporter of the monarchy. However, after the government moved from his homeland of Sardinia to Piedmont, a group of politicians started started forming a proposal known as the Sardinian autonomy bill. This bill would grant autonomy to the Sardinians for their help in the Second Weltkrieg. The country has been split on the proposal, with the right refusing to grant Sardinia autonomy and the left leaning toward the bill. While Segni was was initially opposed to the bill, he saw it as an opportunity to gain a majority government and lead the country with a broader coalition. With his support for the bill, he has isolated himself from not only the far-right and the rightist factions of his party. On the other hand it has also alienated the far-left due to the continuation of de-syndicalisation policies contained in the bill.[[/labelnote]]

!!''Alessandro Scotti''
->'''Role:''' Prime Minister[[note]]Head of Government[[/note]] (Autonomy Bill Passes, 1949 Election; Autonomy Bill Fails, Opposition in Power)
->'''Party:''' Partito dei Contadini del Piemonte[[note]]Initially formed in 1918, the Italian Farmers' Party was a party founded for the Farmers and by the Farmers, reflecting the deep social dissatisfaction in the countryside for the unkept promises of land reform and the lacking parliamentary representation. Reflecting the rampant autonomism of the period, they would initially go as far as only speaking the Piedmontese dialect in their meetings. The small party was initially active only on local levels, and was then exiled to Sardinia along with its leader Alessandro Scotti. After the War, Scotti returned to Piedmont and managed to form an electoral alliance with the moderate wings of the Sardinian Action Party, with whom he shared his autonomism, the Community Movement, a primarily urban progressive movement, and some minor liberal organisations. Right before the 1946 Special Elections, all these groups were united in the new Piedmontese Farmers' Party, and organisation went on to upset most and become the main party of the Opposition, aided in part by the ongoing martial law in several Mainland districts and by anti-socialist legislation pieces, that made them the organisation most resembling a workers' party in most constituencies. Despite this, the Farmers' Party has gained the support of a great portion of of the population with its promises of federalism and agrarian reform; it is clear that they will be one of the main parties of our Country as long as the social parties remain republican and an Agrarian Reform isn't pushed forward. However, the policies of the Party itself steer wildly between Left and Right, and this might become a problem should a more stable leftist Party gain support.[[/note]]

->'''Role:''' Prime Minister[[note]]Head of Government[[/note]] (Autonomy Bill Fails, Scotti succession)
->'''Party:''' Partito Repubblicano Italiano[[note]]The Italian Republican Party is both the oldest continuously existing party in Italy and the expression of the oldest current of Italian nationalism. Direct descendant of Mazzini's Young Italy, of the Italian National Association that existed until 1853, of the insurrectionist Action Party active until 1867 that had other fathers of active until 1867 that had other fathers of Italy like Garibaldi among its members, and of the Historical Radical Left that existed in various forms until 1904. Mazzinianist, Pan-Italianist, Nationalist and Republican, they worked closely with the Socialists until 1919; by then, the Republicans ended up repudiating the Socialists and joining forces with the Whites against the National Syndicalists and the Maximalists in order to establish a progressive liberal Republic over all of Italy. Opposed to the Federation, they were one of the main forces behind its dissolution and the declaration of the Republic in 1927. The Party has scions all of Italy, and pushes for the unification of the various Italian statelets under the Republic. It has been accused of collaboration with former Maximists and Totalists: while they say this claim is baseless, and they act autonomously in the South, it is true that they hold an informal alliance with the Popular Democrat Front in Piedmont, as well as the republican wings the Sardinian Action Party in the Island. With their deep opposition to any Monarchy in Italy, their power and prestige will vary depending on the popularity of said monarchies. Should the King end up in an unfavourable position, they will surely benefit.[[/note]]

Lucca, Italy\\\
Born as the son of an illegitimate count of the Hourse of Sforza, Carlo Sforza would be born in a life of privilege. With a large family of silk merchants, Sforza would have enough financial support to study in Pisa. Studying law at the university, Sforza would enter diplomatic service in 1896, traveling across the Mediterranean and the Italian concession in China. He would quickly rise through the ranks and become a minister of foreign affairs, being instrumental during the first Weltkrieg for the Italian war effort, but, despite his best effort, Italy would fail its conflict against the Kaiser in Berlin.\\\
The revolutionary spirit at home brought a sense of tension among many, including Sforza. He would side with The Republic during the civil war, but would also turn into a vocal critic of the ANI, which he believed was born out of a different revolutionary fervour, long before the Weltkrieg. His criticism of the ANI would keep the Republic on a stable path and was the key to the ANI's defeat in the 1938 election. While never an instrumental player in the persecution of the ANI after the March on Milan, he did support the decisions Supp made towards internal security and policing that targeted the radical nationalists.\\\
Sforza, slowly turning old and yet an inspirational figurehead, would become the president of the Italian Republic in 1941. A staunch anti-extremist and a democrat in his heart, Sforza was a beloved figure during the Second Weltkrieg for many republicans. The end of the Second Weltkrieg would enforce that idea, as the popular image of Sforza making a fist in the air while informing the public about the end of the war has become a national image of pride, depicting Italian bravery in the face of incredible odds.[[/labelnote]]

->'''Ideology:''' Paternal Autocracy
->'''In-Game Biography:''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]Born: May 6th, 1882\\
Marmorpalais, Potsdam, German Empire\\\
From a young age, Kaiser Wilhelm III was a militarist. While his father saw the Weltkrieg as a chance for vengeance against his personal enemies in Britain, the Kronprinz saw it as the formative experience of a superpower. He would lead troops in Verdun and Amiens, and though his victories were average, it would be on the battlefields where Wilhelm would meet a young Major named Kurt von Schleicher.\\
The Weltkrieg's successes vindicated the Kronprinz, while the subsequent stagnation of Germany turned him fully against democracy. When Black Monday plunged Berlin into darkness, and the SPD dominated the elections, Wilhelm protested his father's decision: he claimed an SPD government would and a Red Berlin would lead to imperial ruin, and a Red the decade. But the aging Kaiser ignored the protest, turning his own son against him. When the Second Weltkrieg broke out in 1940, Wilhelms fears were validated, but it'd be another year before his father would die, and he could ascend to the throne.\\\
Within days, his plan was in action. The SPD were ousted, and Kurt von Schleicher was promoted to Reichskanzler. Together, the two men instituted militaristic policies that transformed their collapsing nation into the empire of old; a true military powerhouse. When Schleicher died in 1945, Wilhelm promoted the loyal Ferdinand von Bredow in his place. Keenly interested in the power of the atom, Wilhelm witnessed the Heimat Test in Windhoek, and pushed relentlessly for Heimdallr to be unleashed on his enemies.\\\
Now, those enemies lay destroyed, and the Kaiser stands victorious. An avowed autocrat, Wilhelm has joined Reichskanzler Bredow in planning for a 'Zentralisierung' of the government, though the growing domestic troubles need to be dealt with before any change can be implemented. On the I stage, Wilhelm's opinion of the liberal superpowers is plummeting. Thinking nothing of his so-called 'equals' in France and Canada, he sees them as naive and weak, led by idealists who don't understand the modern world. His world. The Kaiserwelt.[[/labelnote]]

->'''Party:''' Deutsche Nationale Einheitsfront[[note]]The Deutsche Nationale Einheitsfront (German National Unity Front) is not a political party in the traditional sense, but rather a political experiment by Ferdinand von Bredow to essentially redraw German Politics. Combining a broad united front of conservative & anti-democrat military and civilian officials, the DNE's ultimate aim is the 'Zentralisierung' of Germany: to supplant the traditional, multi-party Prussian Constitutional system and replace it with an efficient, centralised dictatorship acting in the 'imperial interest above partisan politics'. Nationally conservative, monarchist and statist, their overarching ideology is directly informed by the Reichskanzler, and by a lesser extent the Kaiser himself. As such they can be somewhat ideologically fluid, but always absolutist in nature. The DNE enjoys the direct support of the Kaiser, and many of the most politically influential groups in the Empire. It can be likened to a modern incarnation of the functionally defunct DVLP, though with völkisch elements sidelined.[[/note]], DNE (SB) (Schleicherist Path)

->'''Party:''' Deutschkonservative Partei[[note]]The Deutschkonservative Partei (German Conservative Party) was formed in 1876, and ever since has been either the ruling, or one of the most important, parties in Germany. That was until the end of the Weltkrieg. With the liberal March Constitution and the rise of the DVLP, the future of the DkP saw an all time low, but now they have since recovered under Schleicher's wartime government. The aftermath of Red government. The Brunswick saw Kuno von Westarp jettisoned as party chairman, being succeeded Carl Friedrich Goerdeler. After the DRP collapsed, many of her former members joined the DkP as a more moderate, pragmatic faction, led by Robert Lehr. They're avowed monarchists, nationalist conservatives, and economic interventionists. Many of them are also pretty non-committal on the stance of democracy, and if the DNE experiment succeeds many, but not all DkP politicians and voters will form the new political base.[[/note]]
