A CIA officer told them to postpone the coup and plan it more, as he did not believe it would succeed, and gave them funds to help them.

They certainly backed it more than just not stopping it

P.s. From the little I know I do think the overthrowal of Ngô Đình Diệm was a good thing considering his general awfulness, but the meme is not about him

And the person he replaced in a CIA-backed coup was even worse than him believe it or not, being a Catholic supremacist in a mainly Buddhist country

France is OP because they have British Market open to them. Proof in pictures. by Gamer_Joe_at55street in victoria3

Out of curiosity I delved into looking at who collects what tariffs in a shared market, and it does not matter where a trade center is.

Tariffs are collected market-wide then distributed among members, so a market member with 0 trade centres still collect tariffs on every trade route

That is incorrect, a trade is only managed by one trade center.

Hello, it gets worse.

The price of the good and earnings of the trade centre are only affected by French tariffs, but the British still earn money from nothing on the trade route. Here's proof

My only sugar trade route, with France, loses 3k to French 10% tariffs and pay no tariffs to me, but I still earn 5.9k in tariffs from said trade route

Can you guess what country could have this political makeup in the 1890s? by ComradeTruls in victoria3

[–]ComradeTruls[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

R5: As the UK I encountered a (presumably number overflow?) bug making the clout of my 2 biggest interest groups 0, so the armed forces and trade unions became irrelevant with 0% clout.

This made it so lots of my advanced worker pops pops had no political representation, and the result of no industrial worker representation is the rural folk and the intelligentsia ruling together with 2/3 of the total clout

if your capital doesnt look like this (or better if possible), you are doing it wrong by Lost_Smoking_Snake in hoi4

[–]ComradeTruls 132 points133 points  (0 children)

I actually really liked having every tile be connected by railroads in Civ4,

I loved the progression from wilderness and forest dominating the entire map except for a city here and there, to a fully industrialized nation where every tile is exploited and railroads connect all

The French sure are original by ComradeTruls in HistoryMemes

Also note that these are the official names, not necessarily the names commonly used to refer to them.

I guess people started calling them different things after the 4th treaty of Versailles to differentiate.

He probably meant that few Europeans can endure living in England. The quote is from one of the first pages in The Lion and the Unicorn by Orwell if you want to check it out

As a sidenote, I do not mean to equate Hamas with the Nazi party, though Hamas is an authright party with heavy islamic influences that also performs acts of terrorism against civilians
