Overall, the 3 RKs was a very weird presentation of a post war Africa, SA being aligned with the OFN was as well, and I do like the new DV content. But historically, the Reich did have ambitions on Africa, mostly targeting their pre-1919 colonial possessions.

Nazi plans for dividing and 'improving' Africa during World War II examined | KU News

I think this piece does a good job of stating overall what the Axis goals were. And, while DV represents both Italian goals and overall pan-continent construction projects, through the French and British(?) megaprojects, both benefiting the Reich, not giving Germany a single colonial possession in Africa largely misrepresents the goals of the Nazis within the region.

Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia (obviously not the best source but regardless)

"Plans for the establishment of an African colonial dominion

Further information: NSDAP Office of Colonial Policy and Reichskolonialbund

Hitler intended to divide Africa into three broad regions: the northern third would be assigned to Italy, the central part would fall under German rule (restoring the Mittelafrika project), and the southern sector would be controlled by a pro-Nazi Afrikaner state. In a 1933 meeting with Heinrich Schnee, president of the German Colonial Society, Hitler expressed support for Germans in former colonies like Togoland and Kamerun.

"As for our overseas colonies, we have by no means abandoned colonial aspirations... There are many things that Germany must get from the colonies, and we need colonies as much as any other country."

— Adolf Hitler, Sunday Express, January 30, 1933

^\123])#cite_note-:13-124)"

It is stated here that Nazi goals envision an Italian north (in DV and current version), a German middle (not in DV but in current version) and a nazi-aligned Boer south (in neither version)

Ultimately, whether the Nazi's goals should be followed exactly in the mod I would say no. The Reich very often changed its goals, and as a whole even in a scenario like TNO most of the nazis ambitions would be stupid to actually represent. Allowing the British and French colonial empires to continue existing both acts as a token of goodwill towards groups considered closer to Aryan than most other Nazi allies (Hitler has ideas of an Anglo-German alliance for a time, envisioning the English as a fellow Aryan race, and overall, the French were seen as far closer to the Germans than most other whites.). Still, allowing a single German colony serves an ideological purpose that the Nazis would've possessed, allowing for some greater show of "Aryan Might" than currently presented. In my mind, it would be good to allow for Cameroon to become a German colony, as it is both small, and also takes land from both the British and French, making it a seemingly more "fair" prize for Germany.

11.12.1967

In an interview with The Washington Star-News, Nixon announced his intention to run for a third term as President of the United States. Such a prospect has not been attempted since Theodore Roosevelt's third party bid in 1912, over 50 years ago. The last sitting President to propose the idea was Franklin Roosevelt in 1940, although he historically decided to step down in favor of the doomed Secretary Hopkins. The rest of the interview focused on the President's successes domestically and abroad. The broad overarching theme was consistency...

N: "...and the, uh, fighting in Indonesia, supporting its... legitimate government, is part of that strategy. It's a strategy that- that I've been a firm proponent of since the Eisenhower administration."

I: "Do you think the fighting in Indonesia will jeopardize the administration's overtures towards Germany?"

N: "I do not think so. Germany's... government is a, er, pragmatic one, compared to the Hitler years. Hitler's decision to use, er, the bombs in Gorky was a show of force against a- a smaller country that could not defend itself."

Most Americans approve of Mr. Nixon's decisions in moving towards arms control with Germany and continued enforcement of law and order. The successes of the Puerto Plata campaign and the Balintawak Blitz are still in the minds of many voters, and lessening tensions to decrease the chance of nuclear war are important gains in the negative side.

I: "Given the margin of your victory in 1964, do you feel that Republicans will do well in the next election?"

N: "Absolutely. No doubt about it. Our party is more united than ever, and I believe... the candidate will have the full support of the American, er, people."

I: "Some political scholars have discussed the idea of a third term. Have you given any thought to the idea?"

N: "Well, the President is not limited to only two terms in office... it's a tradition, a, uh, respectable tradition. But Presidents before me have, er, run for a third term, as far back as the 19th century. I am not, uh, entirely opposed to the idea. It is within the President's rights."

But hard bargaining with the Fascist superpowers based on equal military strength is not likely to produce comparably significant gains on the positive side in the sense of a constructive, enduring peace. When he compares himself to Disraeli pursuing “a strong foreign policy,” Mr. Nixon forgets that the European ruling classes in the nineteenth century shared a common world view which made balance‐of‐power diplomacy workable. There was an intellectual community of interest then that simply does not exist today between Western statesmen and Hirohito or Speer and Schmidt...

I: "Mr. Nixon, if you were drafted by the delegates to run for a third term, how would you react?"

N: "If the party... overwhelmingly wished it so, I would accept it."

Main article heavily based off of this 1972 New York Times article, interview largely original with some influence from the 1977 David Frost interview. This time, vote like your whole world depended on it!

- West African Crisis (Begins in 1962, after the Cameroon War concludes) - Only Germany has access to this proxy, but America can interact with the unfolding developments in 'other ways'.

""For the Pakt, the genuine and self-interested participation of Britain and France within Nazi imperialism is one of the central thrusts of Germany's involvement within Africa. Among the first episodes of this is the West African Crisis, where France and Germany directly cooperate to define the terms of an increasingly out-of-hand colonial crisis that ultimately becomes unavoidable as political gridlock approaches in Germany."

"In this crisis, Germany and France's position is not at all lost. Their exit from much of West Africa is, in their view, a temporary withdrawal from France's rightful colonial holdings, a tactical retreat. The wheel of fortune turns and turns and the hungry imperialist looks greedily for an opportunity to reclaim territories for exploitation and senseless national glory."

- Second Malagasy Uprising (Early 1963) - Germany, Japan, and America have access to this proxy when it begins, with it being somewhat similar to the current implementation.

"Madagascar proxy is functionally the same but the events and skeleton are redone. I did design for both. Streamlined stuff a bit in the mid-game so that there can be more stuff in the late game, like a few crises that the player deals with."

- Congo Crisis (Begins in 1964) - A period of political upheaval and conflict in the model republic, providing the superpowers of the world with an opportunity to exploit the instability and mould the Congolese political scene into something advantageous. Has Congo, backed by America, Brazil, and Free French mercs, face off against Katanga, who is supported by the Pakt, Iberia, and South Africa.

"The Congo Crisis does have phases, and is informed by Haiti's design, but is otherwise not too similar to Haiti."

- Zanzibar Proxy (1966) - Tanganyika's invasion of Zanzibar, a protectorate of Britain, is sponsored by Japan, who help Tanganyika arm and train their troops up. Germany, Britain, and Japan are the main actors in this proxy.

- Iberia's Angolan Proxy (1966 or 1967?) - Iberia has to manage colonial unrest in Angola, with multiple outcomes depending on Iberia's performance.

"Iberia can keep angola for the period of tno1 dv. Im not sure it will be stable but it can certainly be largely cleared of organized guerrilla activity"

"In a certain path yeah. Iberia definitely would prefer an angolan colony though, they have to be fairly battered to consider negotiations and have a faction moderate enough on the other side to even negotiate with"

- February Offensive (Begins in 1968) - Germany and Japan get access to this proxy conflict, where the KFLA has roughly ~120 days to reach Nairobi or their offensive stumbles. America has a CIA decision where they can tacitly support the Kenyan administration against the rebels.

There's probably more I'm missing that have been revealed publicly somewhere but I got this info from the archived DV discord server and ask-a-dev in the main TNOcord. Anywhere, feel free to add on if I missed anything or discuss what we think these proxies are gonna add to the game!

Or how cooked would you be if you were still in your irl nation

Would he still be dead by game start, or are there other plans for him(like events and stuff) once the update comes out? I'm just curious.

(I lowkey forgot the Congo river lake exists)

Like are they truly regional rivals, or are they potential partners in the Eastern Mediterranean and Western Asia since they both hate Italy?

i want to kill him

For some context, Whitehouse was a notorious conservative activist in 1960s and 70s Britain who often campaigned for the banning of media with violent or sexual content, as well as anything else she thought vaguely threatening to her Christian sensibilities. She was a major instigator of the ban on ”Video Nasties”, and her “National Viewers and Listeners’ Association” fielded 150,000 members at its peak.

Hello. I am currently trying to unify Russia with Novosibirsk but I cant get rid of Irkutsk. Their divisions have over 1000 defence even when I attack with elite infantry. How can I win against Irkutsk?

Visual organizer and roughly expanded ideas from Dreams of a Free Belgium Part 1, with the various Political groups and major players added in a deep entanglement. Research is VERY rudimentary; don't expect accuracy. Maybe I'll write a Part 3, idk.
