History Characters / TNOSouthernEurope

* VilerNewVillain: While the election of Câmpeanu ends the Romanian colonization of Transnistria, their withdrawal leaves the region under Haß and the German military command, who will subject the region to a more brutal National Socialist regime.

* LaResistance: Romanian nationalist insurgents plague Northern Transylvania, waging a guerrilla war against the Hungarian government when the West Russian War began. Romania, despite being in the same alliance as Hungary, has been backing these groups since the days of Ion Antonescu and outwardly denies any accusations of such.

** Hungary's ownership of Northern Transylvania makes it a rival with Rumania, despite both countries being in the Pakt. Romania has repeatedly tried to arm Rumanian nationalists in the territory to win it back, first during the West Russian War and then in 1969. As the two countries bicker, Germany has to mediate the conflict between its two allies.

* RegentForLife: For decades, Hungary has nominally been a kingdom, but has been by Regents because no one knows who should be the king.

* LesCollaborateurs: The Volksbund der Deutschen is a faction of ethnic Germans who are unapologetically subservient to their home country rather than Hungary. As such, they are reviled amongst the general Hungarian population and ethnic tensions have resulted from the conflict.

* WonTheWarLostThePeace: Hungary joined the victorious Axis Powers, but has since become a fascist dictatorship only kept in power through Germany's support. As a result, the next generation of Hungarians are demanding for the institution of a democracy and the government needs to find a way to suppress these calls. Meanwhile, Hungary's triumphant reclamation of Northern Transylvania has proved a thorn in their side with Rumania's funding of pro-Rumanian insurgent cells and the German minority who are heavily favored by the Reich.

* InadequateInheritor: István is unfavorably compared to his father Miklós, hated by nearly all sides in Hungary.

->'''Role:''' Prime Minister of Hungary[[note]]Head of Government[[/note]] (Horthy cabinet), Head of State (Horthy ousted)

* EnemyMine: Imrédy can kill Horthy's support in the military by allying with Germany, sending a garrison to protect his regime and recruiting the Hungarian Waffen-SS, even though this means aligning Hungary more closely to German National Socialism than Hungarian Fascism.

* ManBehindTheMan: Horthy is formally the head of state, but Imrédy is the one turning Hungary into a far-right state.

->'''Role:''' Head of State (Independent Imrédy succession)

->'''Role:''' Minister of Foreign Affairs[[note]]Foreign Minister[[/note]] (Horthy cabinet), Head of State (German-backed Imrédy succession)

* GoldenMeanFallacy: In the midst of the first free elections in 1967, the myriad political parties of a supercoalition can't decide on a candidate, so they settle on Ghyczy. He's deemed an adequate compromise for everyone, but his moderation on social reforms makes him disappointing for those who want more liberalization.

->'''Role:''' Head of State (Arrow Cross coup)

* TheCoup: If the military is allowed to manage the election, Szálasi and the Arrow Cross will storm the capital and attempt to coup the fledgling democracy. So long as the military don't intervene, Szálasi will be successful.

* AllohistoricalAllusion: The overthrow of Ćosić's government during the Oil Crisis bears some similarities to the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overthrow_of_Slobodan_Milo%C5%A1evi%C4%87 overthrow of Slobodan Milosevic's government in OTL's Yugoslavia]], with the Otpor movement and the Democratic Opposition of Serbia also emerging far earlier in this timeline.

** Hungary's ownership of Northern Transinistria makes it a rival with Romania, despite both countries being in the Pakt. Romania has repeatedly tried to arm Romanian nationalists in the territory to win it back, first during the West Russian War and then in 1969. As the two countries bicker, Germany has to mediate the conflict between its two allies.

* WonTheWarLostThePeace: Hungary joined the victorious Axis Powers, but has since become a semi-fascist dictatorship only kept in power through Germany's support. As a result, the next generation of Hungarians are demanding for the institution of a democracy and the government needs to find a way to suppress these calls. Meanwhile, Hungary's triumphant reclamation of Transylvania has proved a thorn in their side with Rumania's funding of pro-independence insurgent cells and the German minority who are heavily favored by the Reich.

* ForegoneVictory: If the Odesa hostage crisis is defused and Penescu isn't killed, he is guaranteed to win the 1964 election. However, Penescu will not have such fortune in the 1968 election, where he can either be reelected to lose to Radu Câmpeanu.

* HostageSituation: During the Ukrainian Civil War, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army will seize a local [=VoMi=] office and take its occupants hostage, putting Odesa in a state of emergency and requiring an immediate response to defuse the situation. Penescu will attempt to organize a rescue operation with the support of the Germans and the outcome of this will have major ramifications on Romania's domestic politics. Failure, in combination with the Tiraspoll affair, will force Penescu to resign in April 1964. Successfully defusing the crisis in March 1964 will either result in Penescu being bombed in retaliation or continuing to reign over Romania.

* PuppetState: If Rațiu or Zane lead Romania, they will reorganize Transnistria into a native-led puppet state and reduce Romania's administrative responsibilities for the territory. This is {{subverted}} if Penescu or Fărcășanu are leading, as Transnistria are just reorganized into a more autonomous, self-governing administration.

* MyCountryRightOrWrong: Siminel was made governor of Transnistria, a job he has no emotional attachment to and only fulfills because it's his duty to Rumania.

* VilerNewVillain: While the election of Câmpeanu ends the Romanian colonization of Transnistria, their withdrawal leaves the region under Haß adn the German military command, who will subject the region to a more brutal National Socialist regime.

* ArmiesAreEvil: The army and its allies were given authorization by President Pangalos to take whatever actions to destroy communist elements and the EAM, allowing them to not be held accountable for collateral damage and allowing for the execution of partisans without tribunal, as described in the starting Greek laws teaser.

* LesCollaborateurs:
** The current Greek government was set up by the Axis during World War II. It continues to survive only because of the Italian occupation.
** Many, but not all, of the majority-Muslim Cham Albanians within Greece have chosen to collaborate with Italy and the puppet government following decades of discrimination. However, the Greek collaborator teaser shows that this has worsened tensions between them and the Greeks, with many, particularly in the EDES, viewing them as traitors and foreigners.

* StateSec: The hated Security Battalions are still present in Greece, government sponsored death squads exempt from most forms of legal punishments and given free reign to use any actions they deem to necessary in their anti-partisan actions against the Communist Party of Greece and the National Liberation Front, as described in the starting Greek laws teaser.

Italy's military headquarters in Rhodes during the Italo-Turkish War.

* DoNotGoGentle: Despite facing a stronger enemy in a "Penelope's Web" teased event, Rhodes holds out against the Turkish assaults for as months under constant bombing and lessening supplies. The civilians of Rhodes also assist the garrison with digging trenches and moving ammunition. Governor di Fausto vows to continue fighting for as long as the defenses can last, despite recognizing that the island is a small part in a greater conflict.
* IslandBase: When the Italo-Turkish War erupts, the island of Rhodes is turned into a fortress, as the medieval fortifications are converted to modern ones, and Governor Di Fausto's palace becomes a military headquarters, from which he rallies the defenders, Italians and Greeks alike, against a superior foe.

* RedBaron: He's known as the "Architect of the Mediterranean" for his key role in planning and dividing up Italy's conquered territories into a colonial empire.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Even though he serves Italian interests, di Fausto does sympathize with the local Greek population under his control, earning a modicum of respect from them.

* LaResistance: Romanian nationalist insurgents plague Northern Transylvania, waging a guerrilla war against the Hungarian government. Romania, despite being in the same alliance as Hungary, is backing these groups and outwardly denies any accusations of such.

* BlatantLies: If Romania tries to annex the Dniester Hills and Odesa from Transnistria, the referendums are expected to pass in the five counties of the former, but no one has anticipation that it will pass in Odesa, since Romanians are still a minority within the city. Thus, most international observers know that the Odesa referendum being fair will be a lie and that electoral fraud will be employed for Romania to grab the city.

* EnemyMine: The PNL used to be divided between Fărcășanu and Tătărescu, but both would work together after Ion Antonescu's death, pressuring the King to restore democratic rule and joining the Romanian National Committee together. Soon, the two factions would soon merge in the PNL reunification conference in 1962, even when Tătărescu passed away and his daughter, Sanda Tătărescu-Negropontes, needed to take his place.

* PragmaticVillainy: Mihai Antonescu would agree to restore the Romanian constitution and hold (unfair) elections so that the Antonescu regime could get some ideological legitimacy.
* PyrrhicVictory: As a member of the Axis in the Second World War, Rumania reaped benefits for being on the victorious side. However, in the decades since, much of these gains have come to haunt Rumania. Particularly, the annexed territories of Transnistria have come to be a burden on Rumania with the government having to spend significant monetary and military efforts to secure the region for little gain. Being a German ally has also caused the country to suffer from a lack of trading partners beyond the Pakt, along with German domination of the Rumanian economy. There are also lingering tensions over having given away Northern Transylvania in the Second Vienna Award, with many awaiting a time to reclaim the land from Hungary.
* AScarToRemember: A figurative, geopolitical example in the "Scars of Vienna" national spirit, regarding the Hungarian annexation of Northern Transylvania after the Vienna Diktat. Rumanian nationalists have never forgotten or forgiven Hungary for claiming a land they pride over in the Rumanian constitution, eagerly awaiting a chance to take it back by backing Romanian insurgents in the late 1960's.

* TakingUpTheMantle: Dinu Brătianu, who led the PNL after World War II, passed the position over to his nephew, Gheorghe, in 1951, where he would cooperate with Mihai Antonescu and restore the Romanian constitution, even when the elections were rigged.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Romania has a tumultuous relationship with fellow Pakt member, Hungary, specifically bickering over the ownership of Northern Transnistria. The two nations fought over it in the 1950's, during the West Russian War, as the Romanian government supported guerrilla movements within northern Transylvania. These tensions can flare up again in 1969, as Romania starts a new wave of weapon smuggling to Romanian nationalists within Hungary and gives them the means to launch more attacks. Hungary denounces this treachery and Romania [[PlausibleDeniability plausibly denies]] any involvement beyond expressed sympathy for the Romanians living there, forcing Germany to act as a mediator in the situation.

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Transnistria is considered a burden by all Romanian administrations, with few beyond the most aggressive nationalists even supporting its annexation in the first place. After the 1968 elections, each of the possible Romanian Presidents of the Council of Ministers will have to address the Transnistria question.
** Penescu or Fărcășanu will organize a referendum to join Romania within the Dniester Hills and Odesa which will succeed, and the rest of Transnistria is reorganized into a self-governing autonomous administration.

** Câmpeanu organizes a full Romanian withdrawal from Transnistria, with the whole region then falling under German military administration.

* MagnumOpus: One of Mihalache's last cats is to call a constitutional convention is to replace the 1923 constitution with a new one, better enshrining Romania's democratic values.

* AllohistoricalAllusion: Penescu was historically assassinated by the communist regime in Romania in our timeline while living in exile by a package bomb, with a similar fate possibly befalling him in the aftermath of the Odesa hostage crisis.
* CorruptPolitician: Penescu permits the use of electoral fraud to annex Odesa from the Transnistrian referendum, as every other county in the Dniester Valley accepts the annexation with a majority and Odesa is the only uncertain case of going against Romanian interests.

* ResignedInDisgrace: The dual controversies of failing to resolve the Odesa hostage crisis and the Tiraspol Affair force Penescu to resign. These failures also lead to a disillusionment with the PNT among the Romanian public and pave the way for Fărcășanu to win the 1964 election.
* ShortLivedLeadership: Penescu may end up serving a short role as Romania's leader, if the hostages are not rescued in the Odesa crisis or he is assassinated by the UPA. Both of these scenarios occur in April 1964, meaning he held the position for less than a year.

* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Zane lets the Transnistria referendum run fairly so that Romania only needs to annex the Dniester Hills, as he sees no reason to continue a difficult occupation of the region.

* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Rațiu is one of two Romanian Prime Ministers who withdraws from Transnistria with only the Dniester Hills' annexations, no longer wanting to prolong a struggle outside of Romania's borders.

* CorruptPolitician: Fărcășanu engages in extensive electoral fraud in the Transnistrian referendum for Odesa. While the Molodovan-majority, Dniester Valley counties overwhelmingly accept annexation into Romania, Odesa is more resistant and has to be cheated for Fărcășanu to get his desired result.

* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Câmpeanu denounces the Romanian colonization in Transnistria as a pointless cause and promises to end the program if he's elected, a strong possibility that can be carried by student protests opposing Romanian colonialism and the difficult insurgencies in Transnistrian territories.

* LetNoCrisisGoToWaste: Once Germany is paralyzed after Hitler's death and Ukraine is gripped by a civil war, the resistance organizations seize their opportunity and start the Transnistria Bush War in December 1963, carrying out greater insurgency activity against the Romanian-German administration.

->'''Party:''' Partidul Național Liberal (Radicals)[[note]]National Liberal Party[[/note]]

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: The Magyar Élet Pártja is a diverse faction filled with fascists, conservatives, monarchists, and nationalists who were unified by the charismatic Horthy. Ever since his death, internal conflicts have begun flaring up between these groups.

* TheExile: After the formation of the National Legionary State, a number of PNȚ officials including Viorel V. Tilea and Ion Ratiu became political asylum seekers, first in London, and then in Canada after Operation Sea Lion, only returning to Rumania after the collapse of the Antonescu regime.

* AScarToRemember: A figurative, geopolitical example in the "Scars of Vienna" national spirit, regarding the Hungarian annexation of Northern Transylvania after the Vienna Diktat. Rumanian nationalists have never forgotten or forgiven Hungary for claiming a land they pride over in the Rumanian constitution, eagerly awaiting a chance to take it back.

* InternalReformist: Mihalache helped his party work within the Antonescu dictatorship during World War II, advocating reforms that benefited the peasants and farmer (though personally, he refused to work with Antonescu - rejecting his offer to join the War Cabinet & becoming a leader of the de facto opposition. This ironically lead Antonescu to favor the more liberal, but more collaborative, PNL)
* SelfMadeMan: Mihalache started off as a beloved rural teacher who used that popularity to move into politics, eventually rising to national prominence and eventually leading Rumania.

* PyrrhicVictory: After rescuing the hostages in Odesa, Penescu may not enjoy his victory for long before someone sends him a package bomb and kills him.

* RagsToRiches: He grew up in poverty before becoming one of Rumania's most cherished academics and historians. He would elevate to new heighrs when the PNȚ turned to his advice to direct the economy, facilitating his rise to one of the most powerful political figures in Rumania.

* ShortLivedLeadership: Coposu briefly served as an interim President of the Council of Ministers while Mihalache's candidacy was being decided. Ever since stepping away from the limelight, he's made it clear that he won't accept this position again.

* TakingUpTheMantle: Rațiu retains the National Peasants Party's control of Rumania and their policies, namely focused on Rumanian independence, industrialization, and protections for the peasantry.

* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Câmpeanu denounces the Rumanian colonization in Transnistria as a pointless cause and promises to end the program if he's elected.

* TheAssimilator: Under pressure from activists like Nichita Smochina, a program of Rumanianization has been carried out in Transnistria in preparation for its eventual annexation.

* CorruptPolitician: Corruption in Transnistria is widespread, with many taking bribes and no solution being seen from Bucharest.
* EvilColonialist: The Rumanian government has previously encouraged Rumanian settlers to take up land in the newly annexed governorate, particularly in the Dniester Hills. In the decades since, the Rumanian government has lost interest in pursuing these goals but public activists like Nichita Smochina and their nationalist supporters amongst the settlers have started demanding the full annexation of the region.
* HostageSituation: During the Ukrainian Civil War, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army will seize a local [=VoMi=] office and take its occupants hostage, requiring an immediate response to defuse the situation.

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: While the governorate is supposed to be jointly governed by the Rumanians and Germans, the two often come into conflict and the most notable example of cooperation being a joint effort to replace a rebellious governor.

* EnemyMine: Zhivkov is a communist[[note]]He was the most pro-Soviet leader among the Eastern Bloc in OTL[[/note]], but he will work with the OFN, Italy and Turkey to back his regime.

* AllohistoricalAllusion: Zhivkov is more than willing to work with the OFN, Italy and Turkey to ensure various benefits for his regime, along with preventing a German invasion, similar to how he was considered the most pro-Soviet leader among the Eastern Bloc.

* {{Nepotism}}: Zhivkov promotes his daughter to the ministry of Art and Culture, which makes all the more controversial in his party.

* ForWantOfANail: Unlike OTL, István was never killed in a plane crash in Russia, and subsequently was able to succeed his father as Regent after his death.

* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Rumania can surrender Transnistria through a referendum that everyone expects to pass with a majority, restoring native rule through either the Pridnestrovian Republic or the Dniester and Bug Administration.
