* CripplingOverspecialization: Canada has an incredibly close trading relationship with the United States... too close for its own good. If something happens to the American economy, it will also affect the Canadian economy. Case in point, Nixon's decision to take the dollar off of silver has hit Canada hard, especially in its Western provinces.

* AllohistoricalAllusion:
** Greenland's military and geopolitical importance to the United States mirrors that of OTL, with a Thule Base being the largest point of operation. The American government also still attempts to conduct Project Iceworm, which would build a vast network of tunnels to store nuclear missiles within the Greenlandic icesheet and could survive a first strike, even though the project is abandoned, like in OTL, because of shifting ice sheets.
** Greenland's politics in this timeline mirrors that of OTL, with the United States taking up the role of Denmark by ruling what is effectively a colony, with little to no regard for the natives. A home-rule movement grows and agitates for their autonomy, with the movement headed by the same figures and parties as OTL Greenland.
** Several OTL projects like Project Earthworm and Operation Chrome Dome are underway in Greenland, but now aimed at countering Germany instead of the Soviet Union.
* AuthorityInNameOnly: The Greenland Provincial Council, combined with the Danish colonial administration after the United States inherited it, is nominally the sole legislative entity in Greenland and representative of the Greenlandic people via elections. In practice, though, it's a powerless rubber stamp for American civilian and military officials. Changing this status and giving it actual power is one of the main goals of Greenland's home-rule movement.

* NatureIsNotNice: BreadAndCircuses: When multiple news outlets report on the United States' mismanagement of Greenland, the ambiguous legal status of the island, and the high unemployment, a series of reforms are rolled out to address some of the issues and keep the populace happy, with a particular focus on investing in Greenland's fishing industry to open more jobs. However, since this will take multiple years, their immediate action is just trying to soothe concerns and the United States will still benefit from the arrangement by branching Greenland's uses out of the military.
* DawnOfAnEra:
** The 1971 Greenland Provincial Council election is a significant turning point for the home-rule movement and the country as a whole, as Motzfeldt, Olsen, and Johansen are elected as members of the Siumut party, and Chemnitz is elected as an independent. For everyone, the status quo has been forever upended, as the former celebrates their victory together and a satisfied Chemnitz drinks a mug of coffee from his modest home.
** Greenland's independence signifies a new era where Greenlandic citizens will have a greater stake in their country's future, with vigorous debates on all matters arising. No matter the problems faced, there is a determination to face them head on and the crowds applaud at the historic moment.
* DayInTheLife: An event details the daily routine of a Greenlandic fisherman, who dresses in haphazard garb, travels from his cheap home to the west side of Nuuk every cold morning, passes freezing beggars on his way to the docks, and sets sail in the Atlantic with his colleagues. It's not a comfortable life, but it is the only place where he feels free.
* ElaborateUndergroundBase: {{Subverted}}. Project Iceworm is an attempted project to build over 4000 km of tunnels in the Greenland icesheet, which would store 600 nuclear missiles to strike Germany and be protected by the ice and frequent rotations. However, only 3 km of the tunnels are completed, operating out of Camp Century with a small nuclear reactor and railway tracks, before the base is abandoned, due to tunnel collapses from the shifting ice sheets.
* ForcedFromTheirHome: A fire burns down a residential sector in Nuuk, which forces all of the residents to take refuge in churches, with their friends, or on the streets, before congregating in a tent city near the docks. Unfortunately, the American military police force everyone out when a supply shit arrives, using tear gas under the justification that it is [[NoSympathy "counter-riot procedures"]].
* HopeSpot:
** With socioeconomic inequality between Americans and natives on the rise and the education system in a dire state, the Greenland Provincial Council tries to meet in 1967, hoping to assert its authority for the first time and actually tackle these issues. Unfortunately, this optimism proves short-lived, as American representatives crack down on this and leverage their economic stranglehold to coerce the council back into inactivity.
** {{Downplayed}}. Despite being elected in 1971, Siumut's push for independence may be delayed if a pro-OFN coalition takes power in the OFN, slowing down the separatist momentum in Greenland. However, the party's leaders are [[TheDeterminator determined]] to continue organizing and overcoming the setback.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Operation Chrome Dome is a proposed plan to deter German or Japanese aggression by flying B-52 nuclear bombers for intimidation and a preventative measure. This backfires when an accident near Thule Base results in one of these plans crashing and releases their radioactive material. The resultant cleanup and media attention sparks outrage from all Greenlandic citizens for the mishandling, as they demand an end to Chrome Dome and even Germany joins in the condemnation. It's not a huge loss to the United States, but their reputation is irreversibly tainted by this.

The same debate even arises, with an alternative Nordic cross being a popular contender, but Christiansen's design wins by a narrow margin and, a few days later, the flag is proudly flown.
* IncitingIncident: The Thule Accident sparks public outrage of American nuclear weapons being stationed in Greenland, giving the momentum needed for the independence movement to build their numbers and host a Siutmut conference in a packed lecture hall.

Though what separates him and his National Independence Party from those that have come before him is a vision for an international, independent Belize – one that works with the other free democracies of the world hand-in-hand in the fight against tyranny, and against an aggressive Guatemala to the west that threatens to snuff out the flame of it's freedom at first light.[[/labelnote]]

* AllohistoricalAllusion: The ORI is based on the actual coalition party that governed Cuba from 1961 to 1962, which became notorious for factionalism and infighting.
* BeneathNotice: Though Cuba is a major backer of the Caribbean Legion, they'll avoid most of the blame if the invasion fails because everyone will focus on demeaning the United States.
* HistoricalRelationshipOverhaul: Since the Soviet Union is no longer their main rival in the Cold War, the United States is less hostile to communism in this timeline and thus had an icier relationship with Fulgencio Batista, Cuba's former dictator. Whatever diplomacy they had left went down the drain when Batista started getting chummy with Trujillo, an open fascist, increasingly favored Dominican investments, and ignored the warnings of the American ambassador, leading the United States to support Castro and M-26-7 in 1957. The pro-OFN socialist presidency of Gaitán in Colombia heavily influenced Castro, while Mexico openly supported the revolution from the start, leading to Castro keeping his former disinterest in communism. This explains why Castro's regime, infamous for opposing the United States in OTL, is an OFN ally in this timeline. If Castro becomes a socialist, he prefers a revolutionary form of democratic socialism instead of authoritarian Marxism-Leninism.
* HopeBringer: The successful Cuban Revolution has enflamed other resistance groups in the Caribbean to overthrow the repressive dictatorships in their own country.
* KangarooCourt: If the Caribbean Legion takes over the Dominican Republic, they will capture Cuba's former dictator, Fulgencio Batista, who has been living in exile. Taken back to his home island, a public show trial is held to humiliate Batista and have him executed on the spot for his past crimes.
* RegimeChange: As a long enemy to Trujillo, Cuba pitches in to the Caribbean Legion's preparation for the Puerto Plata invasion, hoping that they will overthrow the Dominican dictator.
* WeAreStrugglingTogether: The ORI is an unstable coalition whose factions have little in common besides their shared goal of reforming Cuba and agreeing to put Castro in charge. Otherwise, the various factions of the ORI compete with each other that often leads to infighting and division. By game start, infighting has gotten so bad that Castro is the only man holding everything together.

Whatever diplomacy they had left went down the drain when Batista started getting chummy with Trujillo, an open fascist, increasingly favored Dominican investments, and ignored the warnings of the American ambassador, leading the United States to support Castro and M-26-7 in 1957. The pro-OFN socialist presidency of Gaitán in Colombia heavily influenced Castro, while Mexico openly supported the revolution from the start, leading to Castro keeping his former disinterest in communism. This explains why Castro's regime, infamous for opposing the United States in OTL, is an OFN ally in this timeline. If Castro becomes a socialist, he prefers a revolutionary form of democratic socialism instead of authoritarian Marxism-Leninism.

People call Prío Socarrás "El Presidente Cordial", the Cordial President; his legacy is one of sadness.

It is clear, however, that by the end of his term he was seen as weak and ineffectual.\\\
But another chance eventually came. The man that usurped Prío Socarrás and forced him into exile was a tyrant, and the Revolution brought the struggle against Machado back to the old President's mind. He jumped into the fray, coordinating funding for M-26-7, even mobilizing young Auténticos to fight; anything and everything to free his nation.

The pro-OFN socialist presidency of Gaitán in Colombia heavily influenced Castro, while Mexico openly supported the revolution from the start, leading to Castro keeping his former disinterest in communism.

Taken back to his home island, a public show trial is held to humiliate Batista and have him executed on the spot for his past crimes.

* YouAreInCommandNow: Diepenhorst AllohistoricalAllusion:
** Cuba, along with Mexico and the OFN, can organize the Caribbean Legion, an international anti-fascist militia with the goal of overthrowing the Trujillo regime in the Dominican Republic. In real life, a young Castro was a member of the Legion, though its attempts at invading the DR were unsuccessful.
** After overthrowing Batista, Castro nationalized Cuba's industry and businesses, but now seizing Dominican, not American, assets and plantations.
** Castro can announce his dictatorship by continuing to suspend the 1940 Constitution and not calling elections, which is exactly what he did in real life.
** If he restores democracy, Castro rejoins his old party, the Orthodox Party, which he was a real-life member of in the 1950s and even tried to run for election. Historically, M-26-7 was founded by the Orthodox youth wing rather than the communists.
** If he becomes a dictator, Castro's new party is named similarly to the real-life Party of the Cuban Socialist Revolution, the predecessor to the Communist Party of Cuba.
* CigarChomper: He's usually found smoking one of his Cuban cigars when talking with friends.
* FaceHeelTurn: Castro starts as the face of the anti-Batista movement, having led the 26th of July Movement to overthrow the tyrant. Unfortunately, he can adopt a [[HobbesWasRight Hobbesian worldview]] and become Cuba's new dictator as he did in real life, contrary to José Martí's vision of a free and democratic Cuba.
* InternalReformist: After his victory, Castro initiated a broad set of reforms, covering land, healthcare, welfare, and education. While the reforms are enormously popular, some worry that these changes to be too radical and quick, which may spell doom for Castro's government. Castro also hasn't fully dedicated himself to turning Cuba into a democracy yet, leaving it ambiguous if he'll follow José Martí's dream of a democratic Cuba, despite declaring himself Martí's heir. Yet, Castro is the only person holding the entire coalition together at this point. Regardless if he's democratic or not, Castro will continue to carry out his revolutionary policies.
* {{Irony}}: In real life, Castro was known for his proud and public opposition to the American government, and was the target of multiple CIA-sponsored anti-communist operations, including the famous UsefulNotes/BayOfPigsInvasion. In TNO, Castro presently has a good relationship with the United States and is popular within the OFN, and it's his enemy Trujillo who's on the CIA's hitlist. This has some truth in it, as in real life, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Sturgis the CIA did send an agent to help advise M-26-7]] and funded Castro's activities after 1958. Should the US support the Caribbean Legion over Balaguer after Trujillo's fall, Cuba will even join the OFN.
* RebelLeader: Just as in real life, Castro made international headlines leading two armed revolutions against Fulgencio Batista's dictatorship. His first attack on the Moncada Barracks failed, but he returned a second time, leading M-26-7 and becoming the face of the anti-Batista revolution. By 1962, he's one of the most iconic examples of this trope across Latin America, together with Guadalupe Salcedo in Colombia.
* SignatureHeadgear: Castro continues wearing his famous Ridgeway cap.
* TheRevolutionWillNotBeVilified: If Castro holds elections, he becomes one of the lucky few to have broken the trend of revolutions resulting in new dictatorships. This even extends to his socialist ideology, which is meant to ensure that revolution always ends in a stable democracy.
* UniversallyBelovedLeader: Downplayed. Should he honor his promises and hold elections, Castro wins by Cuba's biggest landslide to date, and becomes one of the ''very rare'' genuine examples of a popular and charismatic leader being reelected again and again. But while the people love him, Castro only wins again and again because of his friendly relationship with the opposition made up of fellow revolutionaries and the resulting consensus he built with their parties. If that consensus fails to hold, he'll be voted out in 1966.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Furious at the paralyzing infighting of theNetherlands Antilles following ORI, Castro can drop his support for democracy, go the independence way he did historically and become a new dictator because he believes only an iron fist can improve Cuba and fulfill the wishes of Suriname.

Founding the DRE with his fellow Catholic students, Echeverría carried out student protests and urban guerrilla warfare against the Batista régime, quickly allying with Fidel Castro. The greatest of his exploits before being elected President was his failed but daring attack on the Presidential Palace on the 13th of March, 1957 from which CIA and DFS agents helped him escape alive.\\\
That failure proved temporary - though he had to regroup in the Sierra Maestra and lead urban warfare against Batista, the tyranny eventually came to an end. Now in power, Echeverría wants nothing more than to revive the radical democracy that José Martí dreamt of, strengthen antifascist solidarity across Latin American campuses, and most importantly, turn the Church into a revolutionary force.\\\

In fact, the Second Haitian Empire, man passing into his seventh decade as he enters the Presidential Palace is the last legally elected President Louis Déjoie has not had to go far to attain his present position. Though he might protest otherwise, for of Cuba before the average Haitian it is clear that revolution, and the Presidency was as much a hand-me-down to Déjoie as his sugar plantations and landholdings.second such President after it.\\\
Déjoie People call Prío Socarrás "El Presidente Cordial", the Cordial President; his legacy is one of sadness. Whether it was born his fault is still hotly debated, but his promising administration was mired in corruption and political violence having as their result the son of wealthy landowners; cozying up to the Establishment was most violent election in his DNA. Cuban history. It made all the more sense, then, is clear, however, that he would tie himself closely to by the end of his friend term he was seen as weak and mentor, Élie Lescot. Twenty years of mulattocratic government passed, and Déjoie joined his boss in enriching himself.ineffectual.\\\
Meanwhile, things changed. Dewey's government--that had been so loyal But another chance eventually came. The man that usurped Prío Socarrás and forced him into exile was a tyrant, and the Revolution brought the struggle against Machado back to the Lescot presidency passed on, and things became incrementally more difficult with time. Eventually Lescot was sent out, and a successor was sitting in old President's mind. He jumped into the office next door: need one say who it was? The answer was obvious fray, coordinating funding for M-26-7, even mobilizing young Auténticos to the most out-of-touch diplomat's wife or fight; anything and everything to the poorest, most oppressed black citizen.free his nation. When it was done, Prío was welcomed home in 1959, surrounded by young rebels eager to pay their respects.\\\
Some feel enough shame about open corruption Now the new President has a second chance. The ideals of 1933 have clearly not lost their old appeal; the Auténticos still have some vigour and oligarchy where they try to deliver to the average people as a sort of quid pro quo. Not Déjoie--to him there is no use changing things from the way Lescot used to do hope left in them. He may be his own man, but Carlos Prío Socarrás is determined not to squander this precious opportunity--for he is as much an avatar of knows what faces him if he fails at the mulattocracy as his predecessor, test: brokenness, and just as willing to keep the levers a lost sense of power in mulatto hands as Lescot was.what could have been.[[/labelnote]]

Where his path to power was not at all certain, his views always were: racism and violence that occurred during the United States occupation of Haiti in the late 1910s inspired black nationalism among Haitians and left a powerful impression on the young Duvalier. Duvalier saw the poor black majority and their resentment against the mulattocracy. Supporting Pan-African ideals, he became involved in the local Négritude movement, beginning a long and chaotic political journey interrupted by returns to his medical doctorate--\\\

->'''In-Game Biography''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]If one peers into the office of former General, now President, Franck Lavaud, one sees many of the trappings of the old mulattocratic government of Lescot and his successor, who Lavaud characterizes as "Lescot's running dog Déjoie," left strewn on the floor, thrown down from their old perches. Small wonder, when Lavaud has taken it upon himself to do away with his former bosses' asinine racialist policies to the best of his ability.\\\
The Lescot and Déjoie (mis)governance existed for almost as long as Lavaud was in active service as a general. Assuming control of the Garde d'Haiti and the Ministry of Defense in 1944, he watched as Lescot's over-proximity to Trujillo permitted the latter to gain advantage after advantage at Haiti's expense. Meanwhile, while the mulattocratic élite kept singing that pervert's praises, all Lavaud could see from Trujillo was the same old ambition to do as they had always wanted to do and annex Haiti.\\\
With time Haiti's lack of readiness became intolerable. Were the Lescot government to remain in power, either Trujillo's dream would become reality faster than Lavaud could say 'putain de merde', or the masses of Port-au-Prince would fly into an abject rage and hand the country over to communist maniacs. So he did what any other military man would do in his situation--throw down the President, mobilise the military, and initiate sorely needed reforms.\\\
Lavaud is not like le Professeur or Kanson Fè. Democracy or tolerance for the left, these are not in his vocabulary. But obliterating the mulattocracy? Oh, that's something Lavaud is all too happy to do--for only an imbecile would dare say the mulatto élites have done worth a damn of good with their power to the present day.[[/labelnote]]

->'''In-Game Biography''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]It is said that to be a Haitian is to be an African, but Jacques-Stephen Alexis takes the sentiment one step further. To him, the same is true in reverse, with Haiti itself being an amalgamation of African culture and identity. This in turn creates a dream of a future that would one day connect the island nation to the ancestral homeland via a united struggle against colonialism.\\\
Born in Gonaïves, Haiti in 1922, Jacques-Stephen Alexis began his academic pursuits from a young age, eventually attending school in both France and the United States to study medicine. While abroad, he developed both an appreciation for writing and communism, both of which he viewed as tools to be used to help his downtrodden nation escape her captors.\\\
A strong contributor to the "Negritude" movement, aimed at promoting a positive and affirming African identity, Alexis engaged with pan-African ideals early in his life via his writing. He also began traveling in socialist circles, enjoying the anti-imperialist aspect of the various Marxist ideologies, and eventually went on to lead the PPLN as his support grew in the countryside.\\\
As the PPLN consolidates its power with Alexis at the helm, it has become apparent that there is a new chapter being written in Haitian history, one that could propel it away from the colonial influence of the West and into the arms of her overseas brothers and sisters. Jacques only hopes that the United States and other foreign powers won't be able to undermine his movement as they have tried so many times before.[[/labelnote]]

->'''In-Game Biography''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]General Paul Eugène Magloire, referred to as Kanson Fè (Iron Pants) by Haitians, is now the last hope of the common civilian in Haiti as Trujillo's cronies and doctrinaire communists beleaguer the state.\\\
Magloire has a checkered past. Sometimes, he has stood against despotism, but other times he has opportunistically supported it. At one time he was one of Lescot's most loyal supporters in the military--but then he saw the rage of the common people and decided it would be more prudent to throw the mulattocrat and his successor out.\\\
Now the situation is sensitive, for Haiti is beleaguered in two directions. Though there is some support from outside, the nation's defense must be competently and cautiously executed. The Haitian government must work in a broad coalition, with all desirous to work for the stability of the Nation welcomed and given a role to play.\\\
Yet more importantly, the mistakes and folly of Cantave's dictatorship must be undone, and democracy and high liberalism take their place. Otherwise, the nation will have survived 150 years of difficulties for nothing.[[/labelnote]]

* AllohistoricalAllusion: With the United States opposed to fascism instead of communism in this timeline, the Dominican Republic mirrors the position of Fidel Castro's Cuba in the OTL Cold War, being an American-hostile island nation that serves as an outpost to the opposing ideology in the United States' own "backyard". Similarly to how Cuba also backed American opponents in several proxy wars, the Dominican Republic does the same, such as supporting Gómez's regime and the fascist New Granada against the OFN-backed Revolutionary Union in Colombia. For double irony, Castro is an American ally in this timeline, effectively borrowing Trujillo's friendlier relationship with the United States in OTL.

Bringing political stability and economic prosperity, casting off the influence of the Americans from the Republic and bringing it closer with Iberia and Italy, true allies of the state and its people, the new regime would become widely popular with the people, with Trujillo being seen by many as El Benefactor.\\\
However, all this stability and prosperity would be built on top of the bodies of the ones who opposed the tyrannical and brutal regime of Trujillo. Be from within, those who opposed the dictator and found themselves sent to prisions to be tortured to death, or from without, the Haitians that were unlicky enough to to be born in the regions claimed by Trujillo, either killed or forced to flee their homes in the fear of it.\\\
For decades the Secret Police and Army were able to keep these enemies of the Republic at bay, however, with the fall of Batista in Cuba the safety of the regime would be called into question as the rebellion against him had come with US support. With fears that he will be next, Trujillo has continuously built up his military and security apparatus with Iberian and Italian help, turning the Dominican Republic into a fortress for Fascism, all the while backing anti-American movements wherever possible. With everyone knowing that action against him is a guarantee, the only question remaining is if the regime will be able to survive.[[/labelnote]]

->'''In-Game Biography''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]With the Caudillismo of the 20s bringing the country to its knees, Rafael Trujillo would usher in a new age with his coup in 1930, the Era de Trujillo. Bringing political stability and economic prosperity, casting off the influence of the Americans from the Republic and bringing it closer with Iberia and Italy, true allies of the state and its people, the new regime would become widely popular with the people, with Trujillo being seen by many as El Benefactor.\\\
However, all this stability and prosperity would be built on top of the bodies of the ones who opposed the tyrannical and brutal regime of Trujillo. Be from within, those who opposed the dictator and found themselves sent to prisions to be tortured to death, or from without, the Haitians that were unlicky enough to to be born in the regions claimed by Trujillo, either killed or forced to flee their homes in the fear of it.\\\
For decades the Secret Police and Army were able to keep these enemies of the Republic at bay, however, with the fall of Batista in Cuba the safety of the regime would be called into question as the rebellion against him had come with US support. With fears that he will be next, Trujillo has continuously built up his military and security apparatus with Iberian and Italian help, turning the Dominican Republic into a fortress for Fascism, all the while backing anti-American movements wherever possible. With everyone knowing that action against him is a guarantee, the only question remaining is if the regime will be able to survive.[[/labelnote]]
to:
* BananaRepublic: The Dominican Republic is a violent, fascist dictatorship run by Trujillo, who has been running a "whitening" campaign and waging genocide against the Haitians he's recently absorbed into his country.
* {{Cincinnatus}}: If defeated by the OFN after an attempted invasion of Haiti by either Trujillo or López, an OFN transitional authority will be temporarily set up in the Dominican Republic before holding elections and handing power over to Bosch or Bonnelly.
* CrapsaccharineWorld: Under Trujillo, the living conditions in the Dominican Republic appear to have vastly improved over the decades and its citizens are happy to remain under his rule, even if Trujillo is a cruel dictator who murders anyone that dares criticize or oppose him.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: The program of Blanqueamiento doesn't always persuade Iberians to move to the Dominican Republic because many are often comfortable living in Europe and have no interest in moving to a small island in the middle of the Caribbean.
* {{Egopolis}}:
** Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic's capital, was renamed to 'Ciudad Trujillo' in 1936. The city will revert back to 'Santo Domingo' if any anti-Trujillo factions assume power.
** The land taken from Haiti in the 1950s was renamed to "Generalísimo Trujillo."
* TheExile: Fulgencio Batista, Cuba's old dictator, is living in the Dominican Republic as a hated exile in his native country. In the Puerto Plata invasion, the Caribbean Legion has a limited time window to catch him and bring him back to Cuba so that he can be executed.
* FinalSolution: Under Trujillo, the Dominican Republic is actively committing genocide against Haitians in the land under Dominican occupation. This can extend to all of Haiti if a Trujillo-led Dominican Republic conquers Haiti, enabling a widespread campaign of genocide, destruction and renaming as a plan to destroy the Haitian national identity. The surviving Haitians will immigrate to neighboring countries in an effort to flee from the violence.
* HatedByAll: As in real life, the Trujillo regime is undisputedly the cruelest and most violent regime in all of Latin America, and is actively despised by most of its neighbors, especially Haiti, Cuba, and the United States. They've only survived thanks to Iberian and Italian support from across the Atlantic. When the Triumvirate collapses, the Dominican Republic is left vulnerable, which happens in the Puerto Plata invasion.
* PleaseSelectNewCityName: The town of Hinche was renamed to its Spanish name of 'Hincha' when it was taken over by the Dominican Republic in the 1950s. Other cities will also be renamed if the Dominican Republic conquers and annexes Haiti, specifically naming Puerto Ramfis (Port-au-Prince), Gonaibo (Gonaïves), Cabo Quisqueya (Cap-Haïtien), and Yaquimel (Jacmel).
* ProxyWar: The Dominican Republic is a proxy of the Iberian Union during the Puerto Plata invasion, as they are their closest ally in Latin America.

* AllohistoricalAllusion: Like Fidel Castro in real life, Trujillo is the victim of several attempts to assassinate him by the CIA that always fails.
* DarkHorseVictory: When the Caribbean Legion invades to overthrow him, most observers predicted that his regime would collapse in a matter of weeks. However, there remains a chance for Trujillo to hold onto his power, slaughtering most of the Legion and capturing enough prisoners to hold hostage against the United States and Cuba, the main backers of the invasion.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: One of the most unambiguously evil men in Latin America, his only consistently humanizing quality is loving his son, whose career in the military was greatly boosted by his intervention in blatant nepotism.
* TheGeneralissimo: Arguably the inspiration for this trope in real life, Trujillo has all the trademarks; the tropical island, the corrupt military rule, the constant human rights violations, the megalomania, and the {{Egopolis}} named after himself.
* AGodAmI: Many of his propaganda portraits features the phrase "Dios y Trujillo" in an effort to frame himself as a god on Earth. Most of his fanatical supporters believe this too.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Trujillo supports Spanish immigration to the Dominican Republic in order to practice a whitening policy.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Despite his totalitarianism, many Dominicans praise Trujillo, believing that his tyrannical, but stable rule far outweighs the poverty and chaos they endured in the 1920's.
* VillainousLegacy: The legacy of his Haitian invasion will always dampen Dominican-Haitian relations for as long as its occupation lasts, even in the most optimal scenario where Trujillo is overthrown and Lavaud comes to power in Haiti.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Trujillo used to be friends with Élie Lescot Sr., the old dictator of Haiti, giving a glimmer of hope that their countries could've co-existed peacefully. Unfortunately, it didn't last and border skirmishes between the two eventually escalated into a full-on Dominican invasion that still occupies Haitian land in the 1960's.

He was long considered the heir apparent, and many expected him to take the political acumen of his father.\\\
Of course, Ramfis turned out to fall far from the tree. He never showed interest in politics, or not nearly as much as he had for young women and auto racing. His failure to graduate the Academia General Militar due to his focus on extravagant affairs with movie actresses was a source of embarrassment to the regime. And a scandalous divorce from his first wife led to him falling out of the public eye for quite a while, though it never dampened his bohemian lifestyle. When they hear his name, many Dominicans think of him with a dark haired starlet in a fancy automobile instead of at his father's side in a uniform, and they laugh.\\\
But Ramfis heard these laughs. And if there's anything he's inherited from his father, it's his insecurity. He knows they're wrong, that he can be a great leader like his father was. And anyone who doubts him will be proven wrong... or dealt with.[[/labelnote]]

Of course, Ramfis turned out to fall far from the tree. He never showed interest in politics, or not nearly as much as he had for young women and luxury auto racing.

Ramfis could have as many luxury cars, movie stars, and benders as he wanted. And if he needed to slit a throat, he only had to name it. But the real power is Chief Johnny Abbes García.\\\
Abbes is rumored to be another product of nepotism, to have traded affairs as a young man with the former President to advance his career. But while the power behind the throne is corrupt, he was always loyal to Trujillo, and wants nothing more than to advance the will of the departed ruler.

But that is how it has played out.\\\
American occupation and the rhetoric of his father's friend, the leader of the Puerto Rican liberation struggle Albizu Campos, sparked in the young Balaguer a love for intellectual debate and its frequent companion of politics. That, combined with training in essay writing and law, made him the perfect candidate for public prosecutor.

Things began well. Balaguer was Trujillo's most important minister, his closest confidant. He kept a low profile, and said nothing about Trujillo's aberrations and excesses.

Balaguer bided his time until the man he once called friend suffered death, and only then took power. His mission: destroy the legacy of Trujillo's worst abuses.\\\
To achieve that mission, Balaguer has had to ally with the dissidents and anti-governmental opposition forces. He gave them a promise--that he would bring back democracy to Quisqueya.

** After Trujillo's assassination and the Puerto Plata invasion's ceasefire, Balaguer may organize elections, with Bosch and Bonnelly in the running.
** If he waits for Trujillo to pass away, Balaguer will ally with dissidents and anti-governmental opposition factions so he can win the power struggle for his throne. He promises to them that he will restore democracy if he wins, but it's very uncertain if he will keep his word.

* ALighterShadeOfBlack: He's ruthless against people he suspects as communist sympathizers, but his regime is relatively safe and moderate compared to the one run by Trujillo.
* PresidentForLife: If the Puerto Plata invasion ends in a ceasefire, Balaguer may set up rigged elections to guarantee his win, establishing another dictatorship in the Dominican Republic.

* VoluntaryVassal: After assassinating Trujillo, Balaguer approaches the United States and offers to join their sphere, if they call off the Caribbean Legion and support his regime. If the United States agrees, they will need to stabilize his new administration, lest it fall to a socialist revolution by López.

Similarly to how Cuba also backed American opponents in several proxy wars, the Dominican Republic does the same, such as supporting Gómez's regime and destroyed the hierarchy they've long benefited from. Following fascist New Granada against the OFN-backed Revolutionary Union in Colombia. For double irony, Castro is an American ally in this timeline, effectively borrowing Trujillo's friendlier relationship with the United States in OTL.

* {{Cincinnatus}}: If defeated by the OFN after an attempted invasion of Haiti by either Trujillo or López, an OFN transitional authority will be temporarily set up in the Dominican Republic before holding elections and handing powerstruggle with Ramfis over to Bosch or Bonnelly.
* CrapsaccharineWorld: Under Trujillo, the living conditions in the Dominican Republic appear to have vastly improved over the decades and its citizens are happy to remain under hisloyalists to ensure that another rule, even if Trujillo is a cruel dictator won't rise again who murders anyone that dares criticize or oppose him.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: The program of Blanqueamiento doesn't always persuade Iberians to move to the Dominican Republic because many are often comfortable living in Europe and have no interest in moving to a small island in the middle of the Caribbean.
* {{Egopolis}}:
** Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic's capital, was renamed to 'Ciudad Trujillo' in 1936. The city will revert back to 'Santo Domingo' if any anti-Trujillo factions assume power.
** The land taken from Haiti in the 1950s was renamed to "Generalísimo Trujillo."
* TheExile: Fulgencio Batista, Cuba's old dictator, is living in the Dominican Republic as a hated exile in his native country. In the Puerto Plata invasion, the Caribbean Legion has a limited time window to catch him and bring him back to Cuba so that he can be executed.
* FinalSolution: Under Trujillo, the Dominican Republic is actively committing genocide against Haitians in the land under Dominican occupation. This can extend to allpower of Haiti if a Trujillo-led Dominican Republic conquers Haiti, enabling a widespread campaign of genocide, destruction and renaming as a plan to destroy the Haitian national identity. The surviving Haitians will immigrate to neighboring countries in an effort to flee from the violence.
* HatedByAll: As in real life, the Trujillo regime isconcentrated undisputedly the cruelest and most violent regime in all of Latin America, and is actively despised by most of its neighbors, especially Haiti, Cuba, and the United States. They've only survived thanks to an oligarchy.

* PleaseSelectNewCityName: The town of Hinche was renamed to its Spanish name of 'Hincha' when it was taken over by the Dominican Republic in the 1950s. Other cities will also be renamed if the Dominican Republic conquers and annexes Haiti, specifically naming Puerto Ramfis (Port-au-Prince), Gonaibo (Gonaïves), Cabo Quisqueya (Cap-Haïtien), and Yaquimel (Jacmel).

Let there be no mistake: the rise of Balaguer is the transition of the Dominican Republic towards a safer, more moderate paradigm. Yet not all is well, and the new President knows to watch himself; as he often says, for every grateful civilian these days there seem to be at least just as many crypto-communists who can't be satisfied with what they've gotten. They cannot be allowed to destroy all that Balaguer has worked for. Absolutely not.[[/labelnote]]

* FireForgedFriends: The members of the Caribbean Legion are anti-fascist volunteers from across Latin America who have fought together in the name of destroying tyranny and forged a deep brotherhood from it, despite their cultural and linguistic differences. However, ideological differences can divide those bonds quickly.
* PlanBResolution: If they are defeated by Trujillo's forces in the Puerto Plata invasion, the surviving Legion will flee to Haiti and try to start another revolution there, salvaging something from their doomed crusade and potentially fueling Alexis' rise to power.
* PrivateMilitaryContractors: {{Subverted}}. Their command structure is similar to a band of mercenaries, but they fight for ideological reasons rather than wealth.
* ProxyWar: The Caribbean Legion is backed by the United States, Cuba, Costa Rica and Mexico to overthrow Trujillo.
* ThePurge: If López's revolution fails, the Legion will conduct a massive bloodless purge to crack down on communist sympathizers. Befittingly, almost all the Cuban generals of the Legion were notable anti-communists of the Cuban Revolution in real life, who would fight alongside Castro and then turn against him when he became a communist.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: The left-wing Caribbean Legion is still ideologically diverse, with particular animosity towards the communist members of the army. After Trujillo is overthrown, these tensions finally blow out into an attempted revolution by López.

By all accounts, their trust has not been misplaced. While not a slavish pet of Uncle Sam or the OFN, it cannot be denied that Adams is a man of moderation - a man unwilling to rock the proverbial boat. Hailing from the small West Indies island of Barbados, the Prime Minister has been a committed liberal since his days at Oxford. To that end he has been a supporter of several reforms aimed at ensuring the Federations integration into the global market under the Supervision of the United States since his election in 1958. At the same time however, there is no love lost between Adams and the growing leftist movements within the Caribbean. He sees them as unruly radicals threatening to reverse the economic freedoms he has worked to guarantee while they in turn lambast him as merely the US and OFN's colonial governor of the islands.\\\

Following the disastrous departures of both Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago, collectively the two wealthiest constituents in the Federation, the US no doubt assumed that Adams, its longtime partner on the islands, would meekly accept their offer of greater support - and all the strings attached to it. But for whatever reason, be it weariness of US dominance or perhaps just plain optimism, Grantley politely declined the Americans. Of course, this has not changed the already existing status quo arrangement between the US and the West Indies, but it is seen as a sign of greater independence to come on behalf of the Caribbean Union, has certainly had many accomplishments so far in life. Born in 1911 to a well-to-do family of French Creole descent he initially seemed to be on the path of a scholar rather than a politician. A gifted academic, Williams won a scholarship to study at the University of Oxford, England. He went on to earn his B.A. in history in 1935 and completed his Ph.D in 1938.

->'''In-Game Biography''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]Makandal Daaga, founder of the National Joint Action Committee, had never expected that he would be the one left to take charge of Trinidad and Tobago in the wake of the revolution. Truth be told, the Black Power movement that he had helped to lead had neither planned for nor instigated the fall of the Williams government - and yet it had fallen all the same. The unexpected mutiny by disgruntled elements of the Trinidad Defense Regiment sympathetic to the protestors and the weight of an ongoing general strike had snowballed into a catastrophe that had forced Williams to resign.\\\
Despite lacking a firm plan for proceeding after achieving victory in such a surprising fashion, Daaga did not let himself become paralyzed by indecision. With the help of the Regiment he announced himself as the interim President in the interest of establishing a new government that could bring some peace to the beleaguered islands as the fallout of the Revolution continued. Daaga has made his gamble, seizing the moment in the hope of bringing about a better future for Afro and Indo peoples of Trinidad and Tobago. He will have his work cut out for him.[[/labelnote]]

* OccupiersOutOfOurCountry: Daaga decries American imperialism in Latin America and intends to withdraw the country away from their sphere of influence.
* WeAreStrugglingTogether: Once taking power, the Black Power movement becomes divided over what to do afterwards. The unions want greater protections and benefits for the common workers, the military leads want an apolitical government in their hands, and the Black Power movement itself demands social changes in line with their original goals of greater socio-economic equality. With himself at the helm, it will be up to Daaga to navigate this chaos and carve a stable future for Trinidad.

* RichardNixonTheUsedCarSalesman: In the OTL 1960's, Grenada hadn't yet won its independence, so Blaize served as Chief Minister and Premier of Grenada under Elizabeth II. In this timeline, Grenada can gain its independence much sooner, with Blaize becoming head of state two decades earlier than he did in real-life.

* MeaningfulRename: {{Subverted}}. The Co-operative Commonwealth Federation never changed their name like in real-life, which subtly highlights some important divergences in this timeline. In OTL, the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation rebranded itself as the New Democratic Party and adopted a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winnipeg_Declaration more moderate political platform]]. This was due to the CCF wanting to distance itself from its more radical founding as a socialist party. In TNO, there's less of an urge to distance from socialism, so the party is still the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation in 1962.

* ForWantOfANail: Since the Soviet Union is no longer their main rival in the Cold War, the United States is less hostile to communism in this timeline and thus had an icier relationship with Fulgencio Batista, Cuba's former dictator. Whatever diplomacy they had left went down the drain when Batista started getting chummy with Trujillo, an open fascist, increasingly favored Dominican investments, and ignored the warnings of the American ambassador, leading the United States to support Castro and M-26-7 in 1957. The pro-OFN socialist presidency of Gaitán in Colombia heavily influenced Castro, while Mexico openly supported the revolution from the start, leading to Castro keeping his former disinterest in communism. This explains why Castro's regime, infamous for opposing the United States in OTL, is an OFN ally in this timeline. If Castro becomes a socialist, he prefers a revolutionary form of democratic socialism instead of authoritarian Marxism-Leninism.

* AlwaysSecondBest: Behind the PRI, the second most powerful political party in Mexico is the Party of of National Action (PAN). They have an appeal to the middle class, but they have not supplanted the PRI in decades, since the political system is structured to advantage the latter. The PAN regularly condemns the anti-democratic and corrupt measures of the PRI, but so far, they have failed to loosen their grip on the country.
Added DiffLines:
* HollywoodAtheist: The PRI enforces a policy of strict atheism, a fact that is decried by the Christian Humanists in the PAN party.

* FascistButInefficient: As revealed in the Puerto Plata expansion teaser, numerous priests expressed sympathy or aid to the anti-Trujillo opposition, which resulted in crackdowns, intimidation, and propaganda against them. However, this suppression united much of the church behind those priests opposed to Trujillo, culminating in a pastoral letter calling for freedom of speech and press, and an end to the crackdowns.
