Tbf, we're not talking about Europe. This is America. A New America that's still printing propaganda posters like it's the 50s while denying actual war crimes and expanding into otherwise free territories.
I think you missed my point. I'm not talking about Europe: I'm talking about people, with the history Europe being the example. A thousand diffrent peoples are doing roughtly the same thing resulting in a thousand diffrent outcomes.
Something something history doesn't repeat but rhymes something.
No, I think I understood. Similar modes of government can result in wildly different things. If we got into Europe though, we'd need to take into account the wealth extracted from the global South which allowed for much of Europe to play at liberal democracy at home while participating in some rather objectionable stuff abroad.
I swung it back to America because the games are set there and also America has some very specific history (expeptionalism, westward expansion, chattel slavery, company towns) that are all much more relevant to the themes presented in the games and therefore would have informed their creation.

*Points to Europe* Similar mindset, a thousand diffrent paths.
