Built around Oswald Mosley's 'New Labour Association' (NULA), the successor of the independent Popular Revolution Party, the Maximists follow his Birmingham Proposals, which stressed the need for “total commitment to socialism and the maximum effort for the revolution”. While ostensibly still 'syndicalist', the clique has been marked by its growing divergence from the ideology, with key thinkers often referring to 'Maximist Socialism' as syndicalism's natural evolution. Maximism itself is rooted in Sorelian rhetoric but has also developed an independent doctrine and drawn inspiration from French Neosocialists. The Maximists rose to national prominence following Mosley's appointment to Deputy Chairman in 1933, with the youthful, dynamic movement sweeping up many congressional deputies with their momentum.[[/note]]

----

->'''Official Name:''' Federation of Communes of France, French Social Republic (Radical Jacobin path)

!!''Travaillistes''
The current faction in charge of France, led by the highly unpopular Pierre Monatte, which presents itself as the faction of compromise, seeking to extend the unionist democracy and support Orthodox Syndicalist principles in economy.
----
* InternalReformist: While the other parties want to radically change the governance of the Commune of France, the reigning Travaillistes wish to maintain orthodox syndicalism and use the existing governmental structure to rejuvenate the economy in more or less its current form.
* ShaggyDogStory: If the Travaillistes reach the majority in the 1936 Communard elections, they can reinstate Marceau Pivert, whose unpopularity and resignation caused such tense elections in first place.
* TankGoodness: The Travaillistes' military philosophy is based heavily around armored and otherwise mobile warfare, in contrast to the other parties, which all support some manner of infantry-centric warfare.

->'''Role:''' Chairman[[note]]Head of State[[/note]] (Starting Leader)

Becoming one of the main organisers of the 'Travaillistes', and certainly their most influential member, his leadership led the union of the previously feuding 'Centrists' and 'Ultras' to victory in the 1926 elections, capturing the Presidency. A master politician, Monatte has managed to stay afloat through a fragile coalition with the Anarchistes, ever juggling their demands, along with the other, fractal factions that are so important in the parliament. Yet the man at the top will always be a target, and to say the position he holds is coveted would be an understatement. As knives sharpen in every dark corner, how long can the light keep them at bay?[[/labelnote]]

->'''Role:''' Chairman[[note]]Head of State[[/note]] (1941 election, No majority, Left Travailistes-Orthodox Sorelians bloc)

* DefectorFromDecadence: If the Commune of France goes down the Jacobins route hard and Gamelin's coup fails, he and his mutineers will defect to National France, and help them prepare an invasion.
* MilitaryCoup: If the Jacobins are elected and decide to abolish the syndicalist democratic system, Field Marshal Maurice Gamelin may launch a coup to depose them and restore the Travaillistes as the ruling party of the Commune, with himself at the helm.
* ThePurge: While not part of normal Travailleur politics, if Gamelin deposes the Jacobins, he reinstates the Travaillistes and the entire Jacobin party is purged.

!!''Anarchistes''
Formed by the former Ukrainian Anarchist revolutionary Nestor Makhno, "Pure Anarchists" argue for greater regional freedom and decentralization in the Commune.

* ActionPolitician: No matter what one might think of Nestor Makhno's politics, the guy has undeniable badass credentials and is defintely no paperpusher or pushover of any sort. Exactly like his real life counterpart, Makhno was the leader of the Anarchist Black Army during the Russian Civil War, where he was a FrontlineGeneral who fought on the ground with his men (and got seriously wounded at several instances as a result), often against overwhelming odds as both the White [[WeAreStrugglingTogether and, occasionally, the Red Army]] wanted him and his Anarchist fighters crushed, and still was often able to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat time and time again. His feats in Kaisrreich are arguably even more legendary as he lead a seemingly outgunned and outmanned Black Army to victory against the German defenders at Kraków and even managed to capture and occupy the city for a while.
* AnarchyIsChaos: {{Averted|Trope}} -- neither putting the Anarchiste party in power nor the rule thereof is significantly more punishing on national stability than electing either totalist party or keeping the Travaillistes in power, and in general, the society they build is just as stable as any other.

* WeHaveReserves: Makhno's Anarchiste party's war philosophy, inspired by the massive scale of the Weltkrieg and a belief that any future war would require even ''greater'' numbers of men under arms, is centered around vast militia armies armed with vast numbers of cheap rifles, rather than the tank armies favored by the Travaillistes, the centralized army command favored by the Jacobins, or the squad-centric army favored by the Sorelians.

!!''Nestor Makhno''
[[quoteright:156:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/portrait_fra_nestor_makhno.png]]
->'''Role:''' General (Returns from Patagonia)
->'''Ideology:''' Radical Socialism
->'''In-Game Biography''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]Born in extreme poverty in rural Eastern Ukraine, Nestor Makhno experienced the worst of the late Russian Empire - he lost his father when he was ten months old and any chance at gaining an education at ten years old, as he had to abandon school to work odd jobs to feed his family. He developed a primal rage for the landlord and the factory-owner, led a wildcat strike against his landlord when he was twelve, and fully devoted himself to the impending revolution since he was seventeen, after witnessing the Revolution of 1905. He led anarchist study groups, skirmished with the police, and was ultimately convicted to a life sentence of hard labour. Sickly, yet energetic, Makhno was released after the February Revolution, and immediately travelled to Ukraine to continue his work. Now, he was no longer a propagandist, but a revolutionary leader. After being briefly exiled from Huliapole due to the German occupation, he bore witness to the rise of the Bolsheviks, which he denounced as a "paper revolution" and returned home in July 1918. There, he set up the Revolutionary Insurgent Army and began a year long war of resistance against the Germans and Ukrainian nationalists. Though brutal and not at all educated in army affairs, Makhno earned the favour of the countryside and gave the Hetman a much tougher fight than expected before being forced to flee. Ultimately, he arrived in the Commune of France, which he immediately denounced as yet another paper revolution. Uninterested in its intellectual foundations, Makhno merely saw disunity, inaction and oligarchy which threatened to overturn the accomplishments of the Revolution by creating yet another aristocracy. Much like Bolshevik exiles, he was integrated into the Federal Army, and earned a following with tales of his exploits - however, he was a maverick in the officer corps, clashing with his superiors and ignoring his duties. Neither him nor the Army were satisfied, so, Makhno left for the wider world - serving in revolutionary volunteer corps throughout the post-war to further the world revolution instead. This path has brought him to Patagonia - where he can serve the cause while being out of mind for the Communards.[[/labelnote]]

* DevelopersForesight: The flag in the background of the portrait changes depending on whether the Tricolour was kept, the Rogue flag was chosen, or they decided to compromise (either by event or in the country paths).

!!''Jacobins''
The self-proclaimed successors to Lenin and his revolution, currently led by Marcel Déat. They want to form the united Communist party to lead the French revolution against reactionary forces, as well as to cleanse the Commune from any Syndicalist and other non-Marxist elements.

* CommieLand: They can turn France into a full-fledged Communist government if they take power.
* DirtyCommunists: The Jacobins are die-hard Leninists wanting to return Communism (discredited with the failure of the Russian Revolution) to the world. Once in power, the Jacobins will turn France into a Communist state along the lines of what we would recognize, clamping down on the democratic system, worker unions, and build a one-party state. The Jacobins are Totalists like the Sorelians, though they're non-charter-affiliated Totalists who don't espouse ultranationalism.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: While they were allies of the French revolutionaries from the start, they're not especially liked by other factions, especially by [[CommieNazis Sorelians]], because of their unscrupulous methods and schismatic tendencies. This feeling is mutual, as the Jacobins consider them as mere opportunists, and can launch a purge against any non-Leninst element in French politics or limit it only to Sorelians.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: If the Jacobins' attempts to overthrow the Syndicalist government lead to a civil war, Germany and National France can take the opportunity and attack the weakened Commune and usually emerge victorious.

* ThePurge: Launches one against the Sorelians if they take power.
* TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized: The Jacobins carried out the worst excesses of the French Revolution during the Civil War, such as mass executions and violent attacks on men of upper classes. If brought to power in the 1936 elections, they'll aim to finish the job by purging the Sorelians and other counterrevolutionary threats, real and imagined.
* TheStarscream: As the entire faction, the Jacobins regard the Commune at its current stage as an opportunist mockery of ideas of true Communism and, if they are elected, they can attempt to abolish Syndicalist structures and install a new regime, based on Leninist principles instead of those of Revolutionary Syndicalism. That's, of course, if they aren't overthrown by the military or defeated by National France and Germany beforehand.

Soon he turned to politics, particularly those with a Welsh bias, succeeding first in small goals, such as renaming his home village to Deiniolen, and later on to found the Welsh Home Rule Army in the 1920s, and being a vital part of the early days of Plaid Cymru, being elected its first general secretary, a position he would use to advance the militant side of Welsh nationalism. He is, still to this day, looked as a senior figure in the Welsh national movement, and could be seen as a natural choice from the outside to the position of first head of an independent Welsh state. However, even within the party, while none deny his sincerity of motive and his will, some question his qualifications to lead an entire nation, especially one borne from the all consuming flames of war such as Wales. Jones, however, knows decisive action must be taken, for the time for measured action has long passed; if the nation is to have a future, regardless of what that may be, it must start now.[[/labelnote]]

->'''Official Name:''' Federation of Communes of France, French Social Republic (Radical Jacobin path)
->'''Ruling Party:''' Comités Syndicalistes Révolutionnaires[[note]]Revolutionary Syndicalist Committees[[/note]]
->'''Ideology:''' Syndicalism
Tired of the prolonged and gruesome war, the French Third Republic fell into rampant mutinies and strikes after Germany's 1919 Spring Offensive. Built up tensions were unleashed after the humiliating Treaty of Versailles, and the nation fell into revolution as Bolshevik agitators pushed France's Syndicalist Trade Unions to declare war on the government. The old France was exiled to Algeria, and the Federation of the Communes of France was birthed in 1920, led by a bicameral government of parliamentary socialists and syndicalists.\\
Though the new France had to comply with territorial and economical losses from the Weltkrieg, it poses itself as the leader of the new Socialist world, and the strongest opponent to the Imperialist ''Pax Germanica''. Slowly recovering from scars of the past, the Commune now prepares for a future conflict with the Kaiserreich, a war that will reshape the fate of France, Europe, and the World.

* ArchEnemy:
** To the German Empire, as the strongest representatives of their opposing ideologies (Syndicalism and Capitalism), as well as the main contenders for hegemony in Europe.
** And, of course, to National France, since the very existence of one of these states is a challenge to the legitimacy of the other.
* CommieLand: Being the birthplace of the Syndicalist Revolution and the leading country of the Third Internationale, the Commune of France carries the torch of the Syndicalist Revolution worldwide.
* EvilVersusEvil: Though the [[DirtyCommies Jacobins]] and the [[CommieNazis Sorelians]] are both authoritarian factions, they have very different and mutually incompatible views on what "advancing the Revolution" means in practice. If one faction manages to take full control of the Commune, the other will inevitably be purged.
* MartialPacifist: After what France and her allies suffered in the Weltkrieg and the heavy anti-militarist sentiment of its people, the Commune is in no mood to rush into another meatgrinder of a war headfirst. That said, most French citizens would gladly lay down their lives to protect the revolution they fought long and hard for.

!!''Travaillistes''
The current faction in charge of France, led by the highly unpopular Marceau Pivert, which presents itself as the faction of compromise, seeking to extend the unionist democracy and support Orthodox Syndicalist principles in economy.

* InternalReformist: While the other parties want to radically change the governance of the Commune of France, the reigning Travaillistes wish to maintain orthodox syndicalism and use the existing governmental structure to rejuvenate the economy in more or less its current form.
* ShaggyDogStory: If the Travaillistes reach the majority in the 1936 Communard elections, they can reinstate Marceau Pivert, whose unpopularity and resignation caused such tense elections in first place.
* TankGoodness: The Travaillistes' military philosophy is based heavily around armored and otherwise mobile warfare, in contrast to the other parties, which all support some manner of infantry-centric warfare.

->'''In-Game Biography''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]Worker. Militant. Revolutionary. Pierre Monatte has had an immense influence on our nation, leading us confidently for over a decade now. Born on January 15th, 1881, he was a renowned trade unionist before the Great War and had been unjustly arrested several times for various syndicalist 'crimes' against Capital, such as his participation in righteous protests in the aftermath of the Courrières mining disaster. Having quickly risen through the ranks of the General Confederation of Labour, he was even briefly forced into exile by the Republic's repression of the movement. When the War broke out, he was of the few to dare say a resounding no to collaboration with the bourgeois government, shortly before being sent to the front. This prescience and his reputation as a stalwart, tireless revolutionary meant that when the time came, Monatte played a critical role in the overthrowing of the old order, and was in an excellent place to steer the new proletarian course of our nation.\\\
Becoming one of the main organisers of the 'Travaillistes', and certainly their most influential member, his leadership led the union of the previously feuding 'Centrists' and 'Ultras' to victory in the 1926 elections, capturing the Presidency. A master politician, Monatte has managed to stay afloat through a fragile coalition with the Anarchistes, ever juggling their demands, along with the other, fractal factions that are so important in the parliament. Yet the man at the top will always be a target, and to say the position he holds is coveted would be an understatement.

* ThePurge: While not part of normal Travailleur politics, if Gamelin deposes the Jacobins, he reinstates the Travaillistes and the entire Jacobin party is purged.

!!''Anarchistes''
Formed by the former Ukrainian Anarchist revolutionary Nestor Makhno, "Pure Anarchists" argue for greater regional freedom and decentralization in the Commune.

* ActionPolitician: No matter what one might think of Nestor Makhno's politics, the guy has undeniable badass credentials and is defintely no paperpusher or pushover of any sort. Exactly like his real life counterpart, Makhno was the leader of the Anarchist Black Army during the Russian Civil War, where he was a FrontlineGeneral who fought on the ground with his men (and got seriously wounded at several instances as a result), often against overwhelming odds as both the White [[WeAreStrugglingTogether and, occasionally, the Red Army]] wanted him and his Anarchist fighters crushed, and still was often able to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat time and time again. His feats in Kaisrreich are arguably even more legendary as he lead a seemingly outgunned and outmanned Black Army to victory against the German defenders at Kraków and even managed to capture and occupy the city for a while.
* AnarchyIsChaos: {{Averted|Trope}} -- neither putting the Anarchiste party in power nor the rule thereof is significantly more punishing on national stability than electing either totalist party or keeping the Travaillistes in power, and in general, the society they build is just as stable as any other.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Nestor Makhno sports a gnarly dueling scar, though whether you see it as a good scar or an evil scar likely depends a lot on your own views on him and his politics. In general, from the Entente, Reichspakt, and Russia's point of view, it's an evil scar born by a dangerous ideologue who tried to cast Ukraine into chaos and is trying to do the same with western Europe, while from the Third Internationale's point of view, it's a good scar and a reminder of his personal efforts and sacrifices to try to liberate the workers and peasants of Ukraine and his commitment to liberating Europe's working class.
* WeHaveReserves: Makhno's Anarchiste party's war philosophy, inspired by the massive scale of the Weltkrieg and a belief that any future war would require even ''greater'' numbers of men under arms, is centered around vast militia armies armed with vast numbers of cheap rifles, rather than the tank armies favored by the Travaillistes, the centralized army command favored by the Jacobins, or the squad-centric army favored by the Sorelians.

->'''Role:''' General (Returns from Patagonia)
->'''Ideology:''' Radical Socialism
->'''In-Game Biography''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]Born in extreme poverty in rural Eastern Ukraine, Nestor Makhno experienced the worst of the late Russian Empire - he lost his father when he was ten months old and any chance at gaining an education at ten years old, as he had to abandon school to work odd jobs to feed his family. He developed a primal rage for the landlord and the factory-owner, led a wildcat strike against his landlord when he was twelve, and fully devoted himself to the impending revolution since he was seventeen, after witnessing the Revolution of 1905. He led anarchist study groups, skirmished with the police, and was ultimately convicted to a life sentence of hard labour. Sickly, yet energetic, Makhno was released after the February Revolution, and immediately travelled to Ukraine to continue his work. Now, he was no longer a propagandist, but a revolutionary leader. After being briefly exiled from Huliapole due to the German occupation, he bore witness to the rise of the Bolsheviks, which he denounced as a "paper revolution" and returned home in July 1918. There, he set up the Revolutionary Insurgent Army and began a year long war of resistance against the Germans and Ukrainian nationalists. Though brutal and not at all educated in army affairs, Makhno earned the favour of the countryside and gave the Hetman a much tougher fight than expected before being forced to flee. Ultimately, he arrived in the Commune of France, which he immediately denounced as yet another paper revolution. Uninterested in its intellectual foundations, Makhno merely saw disunity, inaction and oligarchy which threatened to overturn the accomplishments of the Revolution by creating yet another aristocracy. Much like Bolshevik exiles, he was integrated into the Federal Army, and earned a following with tales of his exploits - however, he was a maverick in the officer corps, clashing with his superiors and ignoring his duties. Neither him nor the Army were satisfied, so, Makhno left for the wider world - serving in revolutionary volunteer corps throughout the post-war to further the world revolution instead. This path has brought him to Patagonia - where he can serve the cause while being out of mind for the Communards.[[/labelnote]]

!!''Jacobins''
The self-proclaimed successors to Lenin and his revolution, currently led by Marcel Déat. They want to form the united Communist party to lead the French revolution against reactionary forces, as well as to cleanse the Commune from any Syndicalist and other non-Marxist elements.

* CommieLand: They can turn France into a full-fledged Communist government if they take power.
* DirtyCommunists: The Jacobins are die-hard Leninists wanting to return Communism (discredited with the failure of the Russian Revolution) to the world. Once in power, the Jacobins will turn France into a Communist state along the lines of what we would recognize, clamping down on the democratic system, worker unions, and build a one-party state. The Jacobins are Totalists like the Sorelians, though they're non-charter-affiliated Totalists who don't espouse ultranationalism.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: While they were allies of the French revolutionaries from the start, they're not especially liked by other factions, especially by [[CommieNazis Sorelians]], because of their unscrupulous methods and schismatic tendencies. This feeling is mutual, as the Jacobins consider them as mere opportunists, and can launch a purge against any non-Leninst element in French politics or limit it only to Sorelians.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: If the Jacobins' attempts to overthrow the Syndicalist government lead to a civil war, Germany and National France can take the opportunity and attack the weakened Commune and usually emerge victorious.
* ThePlan: Jacobin military doctrine emphasizes extensive planning by a centralized high command above individual initiative, mass conscription, or vast armored forces.
* ThePurge: Launches one against the Sorelians if they take power.
* TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized: The Jacobins carried out the worst excesses of the French Revolution during the Civil War, such as mass executions and violent attacks on men of upper classes. If brought to power in the 1936 elections, they'll aim to finish the job by purging the Sorelians and other counterrevolutionary threats, real and imagined.
* TheStarscream: As the entire faction, the Jacobins regard the Commune at its current stage as an opportunist mockery of ideas of true Communism and, if they are elected, they can attempt to abolish Syndicalist structures and install a new regime, based on Leninist principles instead of those of Revolutionary Syndicalism. That's, of course, if they aren't overthrown by the military or defeated by National France and Germany beforehand.

The followers of Georges Sorel's thought, led by Georges Valois, the Sorelians believe in the necessity of economic centralization and militarization of the state to secure the revolution and take revenge on Germany for past humiliations.

* CommieNazis: As a charter-affiliated Totalist party, their ideology combines Stalinist-esque policies with revanchism against Germany and a dose of anti-semitism.

The Belgian army, commanded by King Albert himself, was the first who fought the German armies during the Great War and among those vanquished during the defeat of France. With the motherland under German occupation, Belgium was forced to comply to every single term: Belgian Congo becoming another German holding in Africa, Belgian Luxembourg was occupied and even the country ceased to exist under her name. German experts concluded that a federal state was the best option in order to reduce the contacts between Flemish and Walloons and avoid the creation of a unified resistance of all the population of the country. With the Peace With Honour, Adalbert von Hohenzollern, the Kaiser's third son, was crowned Adalbert I, King of Flanders and Wallonia.\\
In 1936, the buffer state of Flandern-Wallonien is coming to a boiling point, between the Flemish population, wanting to join the neutral Netherlands, the Walloon population, whose nationalism turned to French-fashioned syndicalist views, and the whole population, tired of German domination...
-----
* CivilWar: Sometimes the people from Flanders-Wallonia can try to free themselves from the German yoke in the Second Belgian Revolution. Usually it is a CurbStompBattle, but it can be a great opportunity for the Commune of France if they are invading.
* DividedWeFall: The main reason for Germany to form Flanders-Wallonia as a federal unit instead of separating Wallonia from Flanders, since it provides a strong buffer state between France and Germany.
* PuppetState: While the Reichspakt is formed by German puppets, Flanders-Wallonia is one of the most heavily German controlled countries among them.
* WeAREStrugglingTogether: Both Flanders and Wallonia deeply hate the German occupiers and both groups can unite to attempt a Second Belgian Revolution. However, Wallonia believes that Flanders is collaborating with the German Empire while Flanders is afraid of the rising power of the syndicalist resistance and constantly struggles to maintain the small scraps of power that it holds.

->'''In-Game Biography''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, the king who trounced the invading Germans at the Yzer, has returned to Belgium from exile in Canada. When his motorcade entered Brussels for the first time since the outbreak of the Weltkrieg, church bells across the nation rang, and many Belgians weeped with joy. German collaborators and syndicalists, however, lament the restored king, and plot to undermine the new Belgian government. Albert must now mend the deep wounds which have marred Belgium, and create a renewed sense of hope among its people.[[/labelnote]]

* GovernmentInExile: After Belgium was defeated in the Weltkrieg and replaced by the Kingdom of Flanders-Wallonia, King Albert went to exile. He lived in Britain for a short time, before the syndicalist revolution forced him to follow the British royal family to Canada.
* RightfulKingReturns: After the German pretender Adalbert is ousted, the royalist faction of the Belgian government can choose to bring King Albert back home and return him to the throne.

->'''Ideology:''' Totalism
->'''In-Game Biography''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]Jakob “Joggi” Herzog was born 1892, in Lucerne, to a family of Catholic Swiss Germans. Having lost his parents at an early age, Herzog was raised in an orphanage, before taking on a carpenter’s apprenticeship as a young man. He eventually abandoned this career and fell in with the radical politics of the Swiss Social Democrats and the International Union of Socialist Youth Organisations. He became a close collaborator to the Youth International’s German president Willi Münzenberg, serving as his vice-president during the Weltkrieg. Herzog’s combative and hotheaded personality eventually saw him expelled from the Social Democrats, whereafter he formed his own group “Forderung” (Demand), which was strongly influenced by the Christian Socialist and Anarcho-Syndicalist ideas of Fritz Brupbacher and Jules Humbert-Droz. During the Swiss General Strike of 1918 Herzog rallied disaffected soldiers and students in Zurich to take up arms against the government, forming a Zurich Workers Council in hopes of replicating the success of the Russian Revolution. The chaotic uprising failed and Herzog was imprisoned for ten months, during which time his political ideas moved in a more authoritarian and militant direction. Upon his release he studied the Dutch Marxist Anton Pannenkoek’s “Tribunist” movement and later took a great interest in the ideas of the French Socialist Revolution, particularly the Sorelians. Even so, Herzog began forging his own ideological path, establishing a more personalistic leadership in Forderung. Though he had once been an anarchist, Herzog now called for the creation of centralised Syndicalist states based upon “revolutionary parliamentarism” and criticised the “inconsistencies, opportunism and elitism” of moderate Syndicalists. His views on Christian Socialism took decisive influence from the French Sorelians, a far cry from the ideals of his former idols Brupbacher and Humbert-Droz. In 1921 he forged an unlikely alliance with his old rivals Léon Nicole and Fritz Platten, cooperating with their Solidarité (Solidarity) group to strengthen the radical Swiss trade unions. This partnership deepened in 1927 with the founding of “die Arbeiterwache”, or “la Garde Ouvrière” (The Workers Guard), a dedicated political paramilitary for the Swiss socialist movement, that has served as Herzog’s main source of influence outside of the more close knit Forderung group.[[/labelnote]]

After the rise of Syndicalism in France Bircher largely gave up his medical work and founded the SVV, which quickly pervaded Swiss military and political circles as a counterbalance to the rising tide of Socialism in the nation.[[/labelnote]]

* KangarooCourt: The Bern Trials are a series of show trials conducted by Bircher's government to get rid of military officers from French- or Italian-speaking regions, or those known to harbour Syndicalist leanings, in order to strengthen the officer corps' loyalty.
* MilitaryCoup: Citing the previous government's failure to both protect the Swiss people in the Romandy and secure foreign assistance, the Schweizerischer Vaterländischer Verband paramilitary can decide that it has failed and Switzerland can only be revitalised by an entirely new government with Bircher at the helm.
* ThePurge: Due to his pro-German, anti-syndicalist leanings and personal rivalry with the French-speaking officer Henri Guisan, Bircher can sentence Guisan and several other French-speaking officers to death for the alleged crime of collaborating with the Commune of France.

->'''In-Game Biography''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]The status of the Spanish monarchy has often been a source of great instability within the nation, and this has never been more true than under Spain's "twice-crowned" king. Born with the full name Alfonso León Fernando María Jaime Isidro Pascual Antonio de Borbón y Habsburgo-Lorena, he became King of Spain for the first time from the day of his birth, given his father Alfonso VII had died a year earlier from dysentery. His mother, Maria Christina of Austria served as regent until Alfonso's ascension to the throne in 1902 on his 16th birthday.\\\
In 1906, he married Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg which while initially successful, was strained following the birth of their sons Alfonso and Gonzalo of which both inherited haemophilia, carried by the Queen. From 1914 onwards, King Alfonso had several mistresses and fathered many illegitimate children distancing himself from his wife. His involvement in explicit productions and his extramarital affairs led to him gaining the title of "the playboy king", deeply undermining his reputation.\\\
For his active role in the Rif War of the 1920s, he gained the title of "El Africano" ("the African") wishing for Spain to reclaim its place in the world by colonising Africa, having lost most of its colonies in 1898 to the United States. However, the devastating defeat at the Battle of the Annual in 1921 largely discredited Alfonso given Alfonso's known involvement in the war and his disregard for the soldiers fighting there. When asked about the battle's outcome, he replied that "chicken meat is cheap" as he continued his game of golf.\\\
In 1923, with the government's credibility diminishing rapidly, especially due to the Rif War, Captain General Miguel Primo de Rivera launched a coup installing a military government. Fortunately for Alfonso, this kept his position secure while also resulting in a miraculous period of economic growth. Within just a decade however, the turn towards stagnation would see de Rivera's regime fall and a new republic declared. While the short lived republic would soon be overthrown by General José Sanjurjo and the monarchy restored, even the King's supporters have begun to worry this "borrowed time" will soon finally run dry.[[/labelnote]]

Being born in Spanish Cuba to a Cuban mother and a Spanish father, his family would ultimately move back to mainland Spain after the nation's defeat by American forces finalised Cuban independence. His military career for the Spanish state began at the Toledo Infantry Academy, with him ultimately distinguishing himself in Morocco and ending up one of the premier generals of de Rivera's regime and its Director-General of Security.\\\
Despite having no direct involvement in General Sanjurjo's coup which ended the Second Republic, Mola quickly found himself rewarded by the restored regime with a promotion to Field Marshal regardless. This new position has allowed Mola to command great respect within Spain's armed forces, even among those who disagree with his political stances.\\\
Now colloquially referred to as 'El Caudillo', both by his enemies and his allies alike, Mola and his cabinet make no secret of their disdain for the democratic system of the Second Spanish Republic. It is their belief that for Spain to survive, it must be led by a one party state with a strong leader to guide it forward, and only time will tell if Mola is truly that leader.[[/labelnote]]

The young Portuguese Republic joined the Weltkrieg against Germany as a result growing bilateral hostilities over their African colonies and their relations to Britain, but their military defeats in both Mozambique and France caused a political crisis that culminated in a monarchist counter-revolution. King Manuel II was restored and Duke Duarte Nuno was declared his successor. Since then, the collapse of the British Empire, German territorial ambitions, and the Spanish political crisis have caused endless trouble for Portugal. King Duarte II presently heads a government fully controlled by the radical ''Integralismo Lusitano'', who have desires for Integralist reforms to create their ideal "Organic Kingdom".

When the then-political party was banned following the March 17th Coup, the members of the Cause were politically isolated from King Manuel II and forced to be mere spectators of the Organic Experiment. With the coronation of Duarte II however, the royalist coalition would have a new opportunity to reassert themselves within Portugal. Though the Monarchist Cause's official purpose is the continued protection and strengthening of monarchist institutions, their secretive aim is a 'National Restoration' to empower the Monarch and form a conservative personalist dictatorship around them, whilst culling the various excesses of the ultra-radical Integralist regime. The Council's principle leaders are Marshal Couceiro and Domingos Fezas Vital, Lieutenant of the King.[[/note]] (The Paladin chosen to lead Portugal), Partido do Centro Católico[[note]]The Catholic Centre Party formed in January 1915, with the initial goal of representing Catholic interests in the anti-clerical Republic. Not explicitly monarchist at first, that anti-clericalism naturally drew the Catholics into opposition. When the Republic began to collapse, the Catholic Centre withdrew their support, with some key members turning to royalist militancy themselves. Following the Restoration, the Catholic Centre was the largest formal political party in the Royal Congress. Amid the disastrous year of 1925, the 'Centrists' reconciled with the Integralists following Hipólito Raposo's more pragmatic stance on political cooperation. Backing the coup in 1926, the Catholics now dominate the Chamber of Peers and have come to support a German-style semi-constitutional monarchy. Since a factional dispute in 1920, ardent monarchist and integralist sympathiser José Fernando de Sousa has led the party, though his advancing age has led a younger caucus of members around Professor António Salazar to gain prominence.[[/note]] (Catholic Centre chosen to lead Portugal)

->'''In-Game Biography''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]Born in exile under the pretender Miguelists, Duarte Nuno quickly rose in prominence as his elder brothers drowned themselves in debauchery and controversy. He would return home after the Restoration and Manuel’s attempts to reconcile the House of Bragança, quickly finding himself wrapped up in the politicking of the Causa Monárquica. A devout conservative educated by a priest, the Integralists promoted Duarte as a true champion of their ideals, going as far as to influence him to undertake an agronomy degree so that he would be a “more useful and honorable” monarch.\\
After Manuel II died childless in 1932, Duarte ascended the throne according to the deeply controversial Pacts of Dover and Lisbon. Rapidly, he realised that the Integralist’s support for him was largely an insincere power play to consolidate the March 17th Regime. With many of his "rightful" royal perogatives signed away by the constitutionally minded Manuel, Duarte reigned with little room to maneuver and few genuine allies among the arch-reactionary Integralists of whom many personally opposed a Miguelist King.\\
Duarte is obsessed with one thing: the survival of the Monarchy. Throughout his life, the integrity and strength of the Kingdom has been his top priority. His coronation unified the warring branches of the House of Bragança, but now he must pick his path very carefully. He’s a man of absolutist ambition but the Royalist establishment is equally zealous, and no doubt King and Country will come to blows over who should truly rule Portugal.[[/labelnote]]

After the restoration of the monarchy, Costa led his followers into exile and the party can be tied to almost every insurrectionist attempt to overthrow the monarchy since.
